Hi all. Just wondering if I really need polarized sunglasses. Are they worth it? I have become decent at spotting trout but was wondering if they could help me catch more fish?
I have no feeling in my left foot due to spinal surgery, so the only I know if it's trapped under a rock is to look, so yes, necessary.I've been fly fishing since I was 16 years old. I could count on one hand how many times I wore polarized glasses.
So, define "necessary"
I'm well aware. Thanks though. I forgot to say POLARIZED sunglasses.big difference between sunglasses and polarized sunglasses.
True enough. And I fancy myself pretty good at spotting fish and being very observant on the water. But there is no way to measure the accuracy of spotting fish because no one knows how many fish are there. Okay, you saw two trout in a small run....two out of how many?Good polarized glasses make a huge improvement on the ability to see structure subsurface. I think actually seeing fish is an almost an artform and some folks just don't have the talent and capabilities to do it on a regular basis. Some can spot a tail or pectoral fin sticking out of cover 100ft away....
Regardless polarized glasses are pretty much a must for me during daylight on the water.
