Thread: Fishing Clothing and Accessories - for Trout

One piece of gear I never leave home without - is a pair of Polarized Fishing Glasses
Polarizing for trout or any other freshwater species in Australian rivers and streams requires a stealth approach and polarized glasses aid in this style of fishing by letting you see much deeper into the water your fishing in at the time .
They work well in all lighting conditions from full sunlight to very low light at the end of the day when the natural light is fading into night .
You can pay big dollars for 'specialist' fishing polaroids but I normally opt for a good set of Polarized glasses from the local GB/Myer store at around $30 - $40 .
If you have never owned or fished with a pair of polarized fishing glasses - do yourself a big favour - go out and buy a pair - you won't be disappointed .

You are spot on with the polarizing glasses.
Last time out on the dingy with Graz I could see the fish but he couldnt.Polarizing sunnies being the difference.

One thing to watch out for when buying new polarized fishing glasses is that they have 'neutral magnification' .
If you have 20/20 vision - using any type of sunglasses can effect your normal eyesight if they magnify your normal eye vision .
A simple test is to try on the glasses and flip them up and down over your eyes .
If you are getting a much closer view of the object your looking at - put them back on the shelf and look elswhere for your new fishing glasses .

That could be good for those of us that have to wear glasses anyway,,,
