☀️

Fly fishing means long hours in the sun.

High-altitude Colorado rivers — the South Platte at Deckers sits around 6,000 ft — mean significantly higher UV exposure than you'd get at sea level. A full day on the water without proper sun protection isn't just uncomfortable, it's a real health risk. We carry the full spectrum of UV-rated sun protection and we know which products actually perform on the water.


Ask our staff for recommendations by water type, season, and how long you'll be out.

🧥

Hoodies Over Sunscreen

UPF 50+ hoodies protect consistently all day without reapplication. Sunscreen washes off when you net fish or sweat — a hoody doesn't.

🕶️

Polarized Lenses Are Non-Negotiable

On Colorado's clear tailwaters, polarized sunglasses are the difference between guessing and actually seeing fish. Amber lenses for low light, copper for bright conditions.

Don't Forget Your Neck & Hands

A Buff and fingerless gloves cover the parts most anglers forget. Your neck takes the most reflected UV off the water surface.
