IN THIS CHAPTER

Dressing smarter for fishing

Packing a foul-weather bag

Making waders work for you

Picking the right tackle carrier

Staying legal while fishing

Be prepared. That’s good advice that the Boy Scouts of America have followed for over 100 years now. Some people want their trips to be spontaneous, fun, and unpredictable. Others don’t get to go fishing as often as they would like (who does?) and so want every minute they get on the water to be as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. And that means being prepared for the unplanned things that inevitably happen while fishing.

And being ready doesn’t mean your fishing expeditions will somehow lack spontaneity or fun. On the contrary — the more prepared you are for a trip, the more energy and time you can dedicate to the important stuff: the fishing. That’s the enjoyable part, after all. No one has fun fishing in the rain while cold and hungry, knowing your rain suit and lunch are back at the house.

This chapter gives you an overview of the basic things you might need before you hit the water. Don’t worry — you won’t need everything for every trip; the less you have to carry, the better. But I offer advice here for what to wear and what to carry that prepares you for most of your fishing excursions, most of the time. (If you still want to go fishing on every single trip looking like a total rookie, absolutely clueless to what’s happening in the world around you, go ahead: My brothers have been doing it for decades, seemingly with no ill effects.)
