I have a few of the Orvis river guide shirts, but I wear them to work more so than fishing. Maybe once they get too beat up for office wear, I will use them for fishing. They do wick away moisture nicely.

I have some functional sun shirts only because I could burn standing in front of the light inside my refrigerator.
I am so buying this shirt though if for no other reason then to taunt my buddies while we are fishing some dainty hatch to wild fish somewhere. 😂

As a born and raised Schuylkill Co native the Kowalonek's reference tickles me right in the happy place.

Make sure you wear your $40 Fishpond hat with the oversized patch so people know you’re a fly fisher… while you’re out in the river with a fly rod in hand.

BTW - I really do have a Kowalonek's Kielbasy Shop cap I wear when fishing and not just in the Skook... 😉

I recall crossing Pennis Creek on the way from MD to Pine Creek. I want to say it's close to Clyde Peeling's Reptile Zoo. All I know is the boys couldn't wait to cross it so they could have fun with it.

I like the Worldwide Sportsman button-up fishing shirts from BassPro, since they're inexpensive, lightweight, and substitute for the need for sunscreen. I found that the strap/button arrangement for rolling up sleeves to be problematic the first time I snagged the button. Otherwise, I'm either wearing a long- or short-sleeve cotton T-shirt under my vest and quick-dry sweatpants (from Walmart with pockets) under my waders.

Wow...guess I'm out of style. I do have a pair of quick dry pants that have a zipper to turn into shorts. Find that real convenient.
Other than that I typically wear a cotton t shirt and a baseball style hat.
Not much of a hat person so I only have one or two that I received as either door prize, raffle winning, or similar. Never bought one as I don't wear them. I can't count how many I've given away.
In fall a fleece seater over a wool shirt fits the bill.

Swap the button out for Velcro...

Its not as big of an issue in Pa unless you are on a boat all day, but the quick dry sun shirts are a huge help fishing out west. Being cool and providing sun protection is imperative. I bargain hunt and frequently find good brands on steep discount online or lightly used at thrift stores. The walmart brands seem okay, but definitely do not last as long. After wearing quick dry pants and shirts, I struggle to wear jeans under waders anymore.
Long sleeve or short sleeve T-Shirt is all I wear on the stream with maybe a fleece overtop. Often cheap sweatpants under the waders unless we are going for a meal afterwards. Then I wear my Orvis Tech pants I think they are called. I got two pairs for 40 bucks at Costco last year and they are very comfortable, and I even wear them to substitute teach in. I don't like buttons or hoods. I have a couple flannels and a chamois from St. John's Bay that I think I got as a Christmas gift from my parents about 30 years ago. Those are for Whisky sipping after fishing.
The fish that nature wasn't skilled enough to invent. The palomino/golden trout might be one of man's greatest inventions. Seriously, people love them. I personally kind of sort of hate em. I never target them.

Scoff at them if you want, but palomino trout have serious cultural significance. Here's what you need to know about this hybrid trout.

I don't fish streams that hold them. 😉
Don't act better than us, Jeff. I live in an eastern wild trout paradise, and I still find myself in waters that hold them.

Not better, just more particular than some. I'm an admitted wild trout snob, they just don't exist in the streams I fish. I haven't even seen one in the last 20+ years, honestly.

I snipped it off. I think it's in the back of my Ford somewhere. Turns out the sleeves stay rolled up on their own.

I could never get one to take a dry, but we like to use them as a stalking horse. They're really easy to see and always seem to share a lie with one or two browns. While walking along the Quittie with my son, we witnessed one taking a midge at the surface. That was a first confirmed palomino rise for both of us over years of fishing.The fish that nature wasn't skilled enough to invent.
