Get Wet: Water Gear 2003

1 Take advantage of drizzly days on the water with Cabela's Storm Proof Tackle Bag ($33). Its tarpaulin waterproof barrier and tough plastic base ensure that your dry flies stay dry. cabelas.com
2 Kaenon uses injection molding to create polarized lenses that cut glare, sans the silvery distortion that leaves you reaching for the Tylenol. The Kurb frame ($160) wraps around your head to protect your eyes from wind and water. kaenon.com
3 Ladies: You wouldn't wear a man's shorts. So why wear his PFD? The foam in the Stohlquist Bettie ($125) is specially shaped to wrap around your curves, not crush them. A cinch at the waist prevents ride-up syndrome. stohlquist.com
4 The quick-drying fabric of the Esbegirl Femme capris ($40) makes for an easy transition from boat to car. The cargo pockets and leg cinches are practical and hip. stohlquist.com
5 If you don't mind getting your feet wet but don't like them to stay that way, try the Adidas Hellbender ($90). The mesh upper lets water in; a drain in the sole quickly sends it packing. adidas.com
6Keep your dry fly skimming the water with Cortland 555 Series lines ($59). Three lines in the series feature a hollow core and multiple coatings, resulting in lines that lie above the rest. cortlandline.com
