Fly Fishing Trip Planning
As with any trip, planning ahead is
important and a fly fishing trip could be a wonderful experience or one
sought with problems. We have included a list of items that are important
to your fly fishing excursion with John Perry's Montana Fly Fishing. If
you have any questions, please feel free to call or email us.
Personal Items:
- Raingear - You want a waterproof and
quality raingear. This could make or break an enjoyable day on the
river, especially during the spring and fall seasons. Lightweight gear
including waders in the summer and warmer gear (neoprene waders) in
the spring and fall.
- Hat or Cap - A wool hat for cooler
seasons and a wide brim hat in the summer for sunburn prevention.
- Underclothing - This especially true
in the cooler months, under garments for warmth (sweaters,
sweatshirts, long johns, wool socks etc.).
- Gloves - recommended for the cooler
seasons.
- Shirts and Pants - During the summer
months, a set of warmer clothing is suggested for that odd day. Shorts
are ideal for summer, but beware of sunburn.
- Shoes - Many people use wading sandals
or sandals during the warmer months and even many use sneakers. Wading
shoes are required for the cooler seasons.
- Polarized Sunglasses and Eye Glass
holder.
- Sunscreen/Sunblock - This is vital
during the summer trips as the high sun reflects off the water and can
cause severe burns.
- Any Medications or Medicine
- Bug Spray - At times this is needed
