Sunglasses for Fly Fishing: for Peak Visual Performance on the River

For the discerning fly fisher, a good pair of sunglasses is an essential piece of equipment. Here at Fin & Game, we stock a wide range of high-quality sunglasses specifically designed to enhance your time on the river, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out.

Protecting Your Eyes and Improving Your Catch Rate

Sunglasses are crucial in protecting your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays, reducing glare off the water’s surface, and helping you spot fish more easily. This can significantly improve your catch rate, especially on bright days or when fishing pressured waters where fish are more wary.

Features of Fly Fishing Sunglasses

There are a number of key features to consider when choosing sunglasses for fly fishing:

• Polarized Lenses: Polarized lenses are essential for cutting through glare and allowing you to see beneath the water’s surface. This will help you spot fish that would otherwise be hidden, giving you the edge you need to be successful.
• UV Protection: Look for sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. This will help to prevent eye fatigue and long-term damage to your vision.
• Lens Colour: The best lens colour for fly fishing will depend on your fishing conditions. A grey or green lens is a good option for bright, sunny days. For low-light conditions, a brown or amber lens can help to improve clarity.
• Fit and Comfort: Your sunglasses should fit snugly and comfortably on your face. They shouldn’t slip or slide around when you’re casting or moving around on the river.
