I’m on the water, guiding and fishing over 300 days a year, and you will never see me without a fishing hat. I wear a hat for multiple reasons, including that they actually help me catch more fish. I recommend that my clients wear a hat when they come out to fish, but not all hats are good for fishing, so these are the best fishing hats anglers should use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fishing hat will protect your head, neck, and face from the sun’s harmful rays, which can prevent skin cancer. A hat made for fishing also shades your eyes, which helps anglers see into the water, see on the water, and see all around you better. Under certain conditions, a hat for fishing will also keep you cool or keep you warm and dry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not wear sunscreen when fishing because it repels fish and makes your rod slippery in your hands. I also think it’s bad for fishing lines. And it can even get in your eyes with sweat. Some hats cover your entire head and offer great sun protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the hat I wear, I also wear a fishing sun shirt <\/a>and\/or a good neck gaiter<\/a>, which, when combined, offer the maximum sun protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
