Here is a suggested list of how to prepare for your camp over, along with some additional information that you might find helpful.

Winter (December -- February) Temperatures and weather conditions can make short notice of an angler’s expectations if not prepared for winter’s weather, wind, rain and snow. It is always best to have to much clothing then not enough. Remember, the longer you’re out there the more the cold seeps in.

•  Wool or Pile Fingerless Mitts and an extra pair 
•  Lightweight or Neoprene Chest Waders
•  Wool or Fleece Hat
•  Layered underwear -- fleece is best
•  Good Rain Coat
•  Heavy Socks
•  Wool Shirts and Sweaters but again fleece is best
•  Fleece, Pile or Down jacket
•  Hand Warmer

Spring (March -- May) Spring temperatures can be mild. However, anglers should still be prepared to fish under trying conditions. Winter clothes are recommended with the following additions.

•  Hat for Shade
•  Light-weight fleece sweater
•  Lightweight Chest or Hip Waders
•  Sun block
•  Always a Rain Coat

Summer (June--August) When the fishing is hot, so is Utah’s weather. Anglers should prepare themselves for cool mornings and evenings and long hot days.

•  Hat for Shade
• Breathable Flats style Shirts and Pants
• Shorts
• Light Jacket or Sweater
• Rain Coat
• Neoprene Socks for Wet Wading
•  Sandals for wet wading
•  the new lightweight waders are ok in the summer months, but have some good light weight wading pants for underneath
•  Lightweight or Gortex Waders

Fall (September--November) Anglers can have some of the season’s best fly-fishing during these months. It is also a time when the fishing can be as varied as the weather--from hot to very cold and from dry flies to streamers. Referring to the winter and spring checklists will prepare anglers for any weather that they may encounter.

Fly-fishing is not considered a fair weather sport. Some of the best fishing is to be had on those cold rainy days. Anglers can better prepare themselves by developing a clothing system of layers. Don’t miss out on the fishing because of a little weather.
