Flyfishing Case

Game Changers - Important Tools - Polarized Lenses

There have been a few innovative ideas that have really improved my fishing success over the past twenty-five years. If you are new to the sport of fishing, consider the following that will help you catch more fish.

Polarized Lenses For Sunglasses
When I first started fishing, I found out quickly that seeing my fly or lure on or under the water was difficult. If the sun was out, then there was too much glare. If it was cloudy, or towards evening there was not enough light to provide the necessary contrast. I was certain that my RISKY BUSINESS RAY BANS, or my CAT EYE VUARNETS would do the trick. Don't you love the 80s nostalgia? I mean looking cool on the water had to be equally important to catching fish, right? I learned quickly that although I was far and away the most stylish angler on the water (at least from the neck up) it was hard to see what was going on.

My flyfishing mentors had told me about polarized sunglasses, but I hadn't believed it would make much difference. So I went to G.I. Joes (my local fishing tackle store) and got a pair of those heavy black framed polarized sunglasses that looked like the ones that protect your eyes from wood shrapnel in shop class. The results were immediate. They changed me. Although I looked like an extra in Revenge of the Nerds, they gave me new sort of confidence in a sport I was just learning. And I was content....for a while. But after a few months, the plastic lenses started to blur from scratches and sunscreen and mosquito repellent. And the muscles in my neck started to look like The Hulk from the constant weight hanging on my face.

As the case has been with almost all my tackle since then, I decided to take it up a notch. I bought a newer, more expensive brand. My Hobie Wraparonds were amazing. They had glass lenses that didn't scratch, were easy to keep clean, and the lenses were immune to SPF and DEET. They also helped me see things in a whole new way. Not only could I see my flies better, I could now see the fish coming from a few feet away to eat them. And at times I could see the fish that I never knew were there laying in the water. I realized that I had been clumsily wading upstream and down past my targets never knowing the places they liked to hang out. I became a fish hunter. These glasses were really great...but still heavy due to the glass lenses. So I upgraded again. And again.

When I started flyfishing in saltwater I realized one pair of sunglasses wasn't going to cut it. Stu Apte told me that BROWN LENSES were best for most saltwater fishing conditions. This time, I believed and acted on the advice immediately.

There are some great sunglass companies out there. Action Optics, Smith, Costa Mar are a few of them. But I have landed on the sunglass that I think I will use the rest of my life. Maui Jim, the largest sunglass company in the world, recently came out with the HT lens. They have about a thousand frame options, but I like the Banyans frame the best, but it's not for everyone. The HT lens is polycarbonate. Very light and very durable. They come with a nice case and a cleaning cloth. But it's the lens that is amazing. The HT is great in low light conditions and bright glare. The Maui Rose color is probably a bit better for really bright conditions, but I have used the HT with great success even on the brightest of days on the flats fishing for bonefish, permit, and tarpon. I have both Maui Rose and HT, but I rarely switch while on the water.

I can't stress enough how polarized lenses change the game. If you don't already have a pair, get some before your next outing. You can actually see fish in the water. So you will learn where fish like to be and be able to approach these spots more carefully. This will make you a better angler and you will catch more fish.
