Fly fishing requires a lot of gear. It’s not always easy to find the best fly fishing gear for women. You can’t just wander to the riverside with a fishing pole in hand and be a happy, successful fly fisher. You need waders, boots, outerwear, rods and more. Sure, there’s no reason to break everything up into “for men” and “for women” (ahem… Bic for Women). However, it’s nice when your gear is a bit tailored to you. Here is a list of our favorite gear for fly fishing women.

Fly Fishing Gear for Women

WADERS

fly fishing gear for womenWomen’s G3 Guide Stockingfoot – Simms

Being comfortable while fly fishing starts with staying dry. Simms stepped up to the place with these women cut waders, because when you are casting chest deep in water, size matters. The Women’s G3 Guide Waders from Simms are tailored top to bottom for women, starting with a slim boot all the way up to the accommodating upper. These waders also come with a microfleece-lined hand warmer and zippered chest pockets where you need them.

Siren Wader – Reddington

Available in both a slim and curvy fit, the Siren Wader from Reddington is a high-quality product without all the dollar signs. The Kate is the slim fit, made to be narrower through the bust and hips. The Marilyn is the ideal fit for the curvaceous woman, with a curvier design through the bust and hips. Both fits were created to fit women properly, to keep you dry and comfortable.

BOOTS

Featuring award-winning aluminum bar technology, the Foot Tractor wading boots from Patagonia are everything you could want in a wading boot. The aluminum bars are strong enough to cut through algae and slime, soft enough to shape around rocks, grip well on muddy trails, don’t hold on to snow and are easy to clean. These wading boots are basically the Range Rover of wading boots.

Vapor Boot – Simms

Coming in at a more easily accepted price than the Patagonia boots, the Vapor Boots from Simms are a lightweight boot created to provide all-day comfort. With Simms’ precision women’s fit, you’ll be able to last all day casting lines. Featuring a hiker-inspired design and their VaporTread underfoot, the Vapor Boot provides ample support and comfort.
