Fishing clothing for every technique

Float, pole or predator: an outfit for every technique

The angler's outfit depends on their technique. The match angler spends the day sitting on their station: they look for comfortable trousers, layers that are easy to remove, and a warm set like the Preston Celsius for chilly mornings. The carp angler stays in one spot for several days, day and night: waterproof trousers like the Nash ZT Extreme and insulated boots tackle dew and showers. The predator angler, on the other hand, walks along miles of banks: they prefer soft and breathable trousers, like the Avid Technical, and a multi-pocket vest like the WaterQueen, which keeps lures, tools, and leaders within easy reach.

The selection is organised by type:

Boots, waders or chest waders: how far to go into the water

Boots are enough for fishing from the bank on a muddy shore: the Le Chameau Neptune and Fox neoprene-lined boots keep out the cold during long waits. Waders, like the Le Chameau Delta, come up to the thighs to cross a stream or fish at shallow depths. The brand started in 1927 in Claude Chamot's workshop in Cherbourg, and each pair is still handcrafted by a single artisan. Chest waders, like the Fox HD, go up to the chest and allow access to deeper spots; they are always worn with a tight belt, which prevents water from filling them in case of a fall.

Gloves, finger protectors, and caps: protecting hands and face

Hands are constantly busy at the water's edge. The finger protector Avid, made of neoprene, covers the index finger that holds the line while casting: a fine braid, cast far with a heavy weight, can cut the skin. The landing gloves Black Cat, reinforced, are used to grip a catfish by the jaw, lined with small sharp teeth that shred like sandpaper, to lift it out of the water without getting hurt. On the head, a cap Preston, Nash or Korum protects from the sun and cuts reflections that make it hard to see the water; the bucket hat Avid also covers the neck. In winter, beanies Korda or Guru keep you warm during long nights on the bank.

Frequently asked questions

How to dress for fishing in winter?

Layer three clothes: a thermal underlayer, a sweatshirt or fleece, and then a waterproof, windproof set. A beanie, gloves, and warm socks, like the Preston Celsius, protect the extremities, which get cold first during long waits.

What clothes for summer fishing in the sun?

A lightweight t-shirt, a cap or bucket hat, and light-coloured clothing help prevent sunburn, intensified by the reflection off the water. Synthetic materials dry quickly after a shower and remain light during hot days at the bank.

How to care for waders after fishing?

Rinse them with clear water, especially after a day at sea, then leave them to dry inside out in the shade. Store them hanging by the feet, without creasing, and check the seams before the first outings of the year to spot any leaks in time.

What size to choose for boots or waders?

Take your usual size with thin socks, one size up to wear thick socks in winter. The foot must stay snug at the heel, as a boot that is too loose can tire you out while walking in mud and rub quickly.

What clothing for a child fishing?

Rubber boots, waterproof trousers, and a cap are sufficient for children's first fishing trips. Avoid waders, which are dangerous for kids in case of a fall, and plan an extra warm layer, as they can get cold quickly when standing still at the water's edge.
