Terror Ridge Wading Boots

Trout thrive in cold and rocky waters. Shoulder season fishing often takes devout trout anglers into these cold waters in search of large aggressive fish. Waders are a must in these situations, but the best waders in the world will only keep you dry if your footwear keeps you standing. 

One of the challenges with wading through trout water can be walking over varying terrains. From gravel, to sand, small shifting rocks and large slippery boulders, trout water can be treacherous. 

The Terror Ridge wading boots help in this regard with their OmniTrax Interchangeable Sole System, which helps adapt to whichever terrain you are walking over. They also feature quick drying technology which helps prevent the spread of invasive species found across more and more waters.

Pesca High Performance Sunglasses by Enigma

Trout water is often clear and cool throughout summer and fall. Sharp eyed anglers use polarized sunglasses to carefully survey this water, looking for fish holding behind boulders and in back eddies. Pesca sunglasses are an essential for reducing glare off the water, allowing you to see into a trout’s world and spot holding fish. 

Enigma sunglasses are also a key piece of gear for fly anglers because the impact-resistant lenses protect your eyes from hooks as they swing through the air mid-cast.

Soft, durable, and polarized. Pesca are the perfect sunglasses for long days on the water, whether you are floating through Montana, or eyeing riffles in the Blue Mountains of North Carolina. 

Mossy Oak Hooded LS Performance Shirt

The weather on a mountain trout stream can be erratic at best. Whether you are looking for protection against harsh UV rays, or the rain and snow that can fall in the shoulder seasons, you need a hooded outer layer for protection. 

When it comes to performance, the Mossy Oak hooded pullover does it all. This versatile mid-weight hoodie protects against direct sunlight, will keep you dry in a summer squall without you ever overheating, or being uncomfortable.

Quick dry materials provide a soft layer against your skin, while keeping you dry after constantly dipping your sleeves into the river to release your fish. 

Simms G3 Guide River Camo Waders 

A clear and cold trout stream is a thing of beauty, but as the old adage goes, if you can see fish, they can see you. When you’re casting at heavily pressured fish in clear water, stealth is key. The G3’s camo pattern is proven to distort a fish’s vision, making you obscure as you approach the perfect casting site. 

When you’re making that final approach to the side of a creek, the G3 Waders will also give you the maximum amount of durability combined with exceptional flexibility. You’ll never worry about tearing the material and won’t have to sacrifice warmth either.

Sometimes chasing trout means being in your waders all day, for days on end. You don’t have to sacrifice when it comes to quality and comfort. It doesn’t matter if you’re on a local stream, or crawling across the jagged rocks of an Aregentinian river, the Simms G3 waders are the perfect addition for any trout fanatics gear shed.

The colors of trout have inspired millions of people to appreciate the outdoors and rewarded civilization with some of the most beautiful words ever put to paper. Foster this love of one of the most beautiful fish to grace our lines, by rewarding someone with new trout gear from the Fishbrain Shop this year.
