Читать книгу Fishing For Dummies - Greg Schwipps - Страница 35

If you want to take up fishing because you like the idea of impressing other anglers with your latest outfit, you, my friend, are going into the wrong hobby. Or you’re going into the right hobby for all the wrong reasons! What you wear while fishing isn’t about impressing other anglers. But it should be about comfort and success.

You desire clothes that are comfortable, and you also want them to work for you in all weathers. Hemingway writes in The Old Man and the Sea: “Anyone can be a fisherman in May.” And May fishing can be quite pleasant. It can also be cold, rainy, stormy, and downright nasty. And you’re not only going to fish in May, are you? You want the right clothes for all seasons and all conditions.

As strange as it sounds, you also need clothes that help you catch fish. You want to wear clothes that don’t scare fish by giving away your position, and you need gear that lets you get as close to the fish as you can while being as quiet as possible. But have no fear: I'm not talking about getting ready for the prom here. The clothes you wear while fishing can be inexpensive, old, and ratty. They probably should be. But you should think a little bit about what you’re wearing, beyond that lucky feeling you get from your Bon Jovi t-shirt.
