Sunglasses do you use them?

Originally on course forum

 

I have just replied to JMW post on sunglasses

and wondered how many of you use them when fishing?

I have never seen a Uk Tv fishing show that has advised anglers to wear sunglasses but Rex Hunt doesnt stop going on about them.

 

On a bright day watching a tip or float there is alot of glare off the water which will do damage to your eyes.

I always have a chaep pair of leeda polarised sunglasses in my bag, even during the winter or when sea fishing.

I certainly do use them, not only for actually searching for fish but also as I wouldn't want to experience a weighted nymph in the eye whilst casting.

Glasses and fishing are a must. I think the wearing of sunglasses or some such eye protection should be compulsory.

If you are fishing in a boat with me, both a life jacket and glasses are!

In fly fishing glasses are really a must, and sometimes I really think about ear protection when I hear my fly passing by.

In course fishing I use or remove pollarized sunglasses depending on the position of the Sun.

I always use a pair of polaroised galasses whatever fshing i am using because they take the glare off the water and help see through it.
