Summer Wading Essentials: Stay Cool. Stay Protected. Keep Fishing.

Summer fishing hits different — long days, low water, warm weather, and more time chasing fish in places you’ve been waiting all year to explore. But the right gear can be the difference between an epic day on the river and a day spent battling the elements.

A good summer setup starts with protection. UPF sun hoodies and fishing hats help keep the sun off when you’re putting in miles, while lightweight waders, wet wading socks, and dependable footwear keep you comfortable when the trail leads you into colder water and tougher terrain.

Summer’s last hurrah – trout fishing bonanza

With the warm easy days of summer fading in the rearview mirror, we took time out for a quick trip over the mountains to the dry and fertile area of Eastern Washington for some trout fishing. We met up with Leaf Seaburg of Methow Fishing Adventures, and set off with high expectations. All expectations were exceeded with plenty of fish catching and fun having. Enjoy these photos from this great early fall day on the river.

We woke up early (5:15am!), strapped up our DRYFT Primo Zip front waders, stuffed lunches and drinks into our BKCNTRY packs and headed for the river. Fishing didn’t slow up all day- with solid takes on dries and streamers keeping the action moving quickly from first light well into the afternoon.

As the water warms up so does the bass fishing. Most parts of the country warm up earlier than in the PNW, but we still get some decent bass fishing weather every year.
