The wader’s dress code

You can wade and fish in almost anything, but proper attire will make it easier.

You can wade a flooded flat in a bathing suit and bare feet — that’s not suggested — but fly-fishing instructor John Holbrook suggests wearing quick-drying long pants and wading shoes to protect from the sharp grasses and shell and polarized glasses and a hat to help see the fish.

Other items nice to have are a waterproof camera, fish-lipper, drinking water, a small tackle pack, a stripping basket for fly fishers, a measuring device and a flashlight for evening outings.
