Patagonia Fishing Skort

Patagonia Fishing Skort

My Patagonia skirt is the perfect “can’t-go-without” item for any day on the river. With a summer as hot as ours has been, staying cool is something I’ve been extremely grateful for. This skirt is not only super light for hot days, but the material makes it quick-drying (one aspect I think we can all agree is essential for a trip on the water). I also adore how comfortable this skirt is!

Most people who know me would agree that I don’t usually wear skirts. I don’t like the restricting quality that most skirts have which make wearing skirts completely impractical for fishing, let alone anything else. I also hate not having a place to put my things when I wear them. Patagonia has read my mind!

The shorts underneath the skirt make this skirt extremely comfortable with a material that makes it very flexible. Not to mention the two front pockets, and middle back pocket that not only add the perfect stylistic touch but also are the perfect size for my essentials (which usually includes my phone and my very necessary SPF chapstick).

Not only has Patagonia managed to make a skirt that is practical for those who enjoy being outdoors, but its chic style makes me enjoy wearing it anywhere!

The Simms Guide Classic Wader and Jacket

I’m a bit of a gear junkie. I love good gear and I love good technology. I can also tend to be a brand snob. When I got into fly fishing back in the day, I wore Simms boy’s waders, casted a Sage 9’ 5-wt Light Line and

Survival of the Fittest - Or Most Prepared

This is the current view from my office window…in Tennessee.  I moved here from Chicago four years ago because I wanted to be somewhere warm, without that white stuff, and without the single-digit temperatures. To say I feel like I was sold a bill of goods this morning when
