S
cenario: September, 10mph NE wind, cloudy, 59 degrees. Forecast: Winds building to 1520, 90% chance of rain, temps dropping to low 50’s. Nasty… but exactly the kind of weather change that can get fish active and eating. Normally on these type of days anglers would be adding layers for warmth. They’d be taking off and on a rainsuit as rain squalls came and passed. They’d be trying to stay comfortable while focusing on getting The Next Bite. For me a better solution is one layer of clothing that works all day long – Blackfish’s Soft-Shell clothing. Now the scenario above does not just happen in September. Late season ice fishing, early spring open water fishing, cold fronts, etc. And not just fishing – ATV/UTV’s trail riding, rigging boats, prepping for ice fishing, I even use it as a sublayer when hunting in a tree stand on a cold November morning in Wisconsin. All sceneries where good clothing makes the task fun.
