Camo Fishing Clothing

As hard as it can be to catch excitable finned creatures, why do many leave the house with rod and reel in hand while looking like a walking billboard? After all, Easter-egg-colored shirts and pants are for church, not fishing. You have to just shake your head when you see well-intentioned anglers stalking their prey wearing their bright pastel outfits that must look like a flashing neon sign from underwater.

Just about everything in nature is marbled—sky, trees, mangroves, shoreline. That's why solid colors stand out like hunters’ orange vests in the woods. So if you want to get a better shot at the next permit or steelhead, blending into nature can be the most important tackle decision to consider before the first cast.

You may be asking, Can fish really see color? The quick answer is look at the end of your line. If fish weren't sensitive to color and patterns, we’d all be using monochrome gray lures and flies.

Aqua Design has perfected stealthy skins for body and boat with marbled patterns developed from actual water photography. We call our visually quiet design “skyward” camouflage — from the fish’s perspective. Available in four environmentally based colors, the water patterns can blend angler, kayak (or the watercraft of your choice) and fishing rod with the natural skyscape and shoreline. If fact, we can skin just about anything an angler needs to stay stealthy.

Perhaps it’s time to take a second look at your fishing boat, clothing and gear with fresh eyes. If your closet is teeming with Easter-egg-like pastel colors, consider the time and expense you’ve already invested to become successful on the water. Stealthy clothing, face mask or camo wrap may be a minimal investment for a higher catch rate. Blending into nature may be the difference between a hook-up or spooked fish.
