Most stream fishermen favor the regulation wading jacket which has many advantages. It is made short — my little daughter aptly calls it a " monkey jacket "— so as not to drag in the water and has a wealth of pockets. A knapsack or large pocket in the back carries tennis slippers, cook kit, camera or lunch. Altogether, it is a sensible garment. Rain Cape or Coat To wear over the shoulders while fishing in the rain a cape of light rubber is made that is most convenient. It folds in slightly larger bulk than a handkerchief. For fishing from a boat in bad weather I recommend the so-called folding motor rain coat. This garment is made on the style of a surgeon's over-all. It both puckers and snaps at the neck and the sleeves are closed at the wrists by sewed-in elastic which prevents water running up the arm. It covers the entire body and is absolutely waterproof. It packs in a rubber envelope making a package about a foot square and 3 inches thick — handy as a cushion in fair weather. It is the first thing that goes in my duffle bag when I pack for a fishing or duck hunting trip. It should not be put away wet nor stored folded. |
