Fishing in winter and summer is different, including equipment. If in winter the main thing is not to freeze, then in summer it is not to get wet. The assortment of modern stores can be confusing. But choosing the right one will help you get more pleasure from fishing.
It is necessary
- - your clothing size;
- - your shoe size.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose clothes depending on the type of fishing you are planning. If you are fishing from the bank, then, above all, a waterproof jacket is important. It's nice to be dressed in a suit on the boat, in which it is not scary to be in cold water. If you intend to enter the water, then you need waterproof wading pants. In addition, vests with numerous pockets are convenient, allowing you to carry all the necessary little things with you.
If earlier, in order not to get wet, you had to dress in rubber, now there are various models of wading pants made of practical fabrics. They have a modern name - waders, and often resemble semi-overalls. Typically, fishing clothing is made from a membrane fabric that is both waterproof and breathable. Such clothes are comfortable to wear, the body practically does not sweat under them. But it is not cheap either.
Waders are produced with boots welded to the legs, and under boots. The latter type can be turned inside out for quick drying. Waders also differ in water resistance after repeated washings and moisture-wicking ability, that is, the ability to "breathe".
Alternatively, you can use chaps. These are, in fact, two pants made of waterproof fabric, lightly fastened together. They are worn over trousers and provide splash protection. This is usually an economical piece of equipment.
Step 2
Pick up your shoes. Swamp boots are quite cheap, but they have a number of disadvantages. Firstly, they do not fix the leg, and it is easy to stumble in them on slippery stones or silt. Secondly, they are not completely waterproof, as water can overflow over their edges. In addition, rubber is an unpleasant material to wear.
Leather shoes fix the foot well and are pleasant to wear. But it is not waterproof, and when wet it dries for a long time. Wading boots made of nylon and polyurethane are good when you need to walk a lot, and not only on water. These lightweight synthetic boots dry very quickly. When choosing, pay attention to the sole: it should not slip.
Step 3
Stock up on a raincoat. It can be a waterproof and windproof jacket, or a raincoat made of nylon or other waterproof material. Raincoats are usually lighter than a jacket and have no lining. They are especially useful in warm weather when you need protection in case of sudden rain. The size for a raincoat is almost irrelevant if there are fasteners for the sleeves and the hood.
