Fly Fishing Shirts — Technical Layers & Casual Shirts

Browse fishing shirts, sun hoodies and casual tees from Simms, Patagonia, Orvis and more at Stillwater Fly Shop. Compare fabric, fit, sleeve length and pocket layout for days on and off the water. Sun protection, drying performance and ventilation vary by garment.

What to Look for in a Fly Fishing Shirt

For sunny days, look for a stated UPF rating and the coverage you want. For changing weather, consider drying performance and room to layer. Check the individual shirt's specifications; casual tees and flannels do not necessarily offer the same features as technical fishing shirts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a special shirt for fly fishing?
A fishing shirt can add useful features such as secure pockets, ventilation or a stated sun-protection rating. Choose the features that suit your conditions and check the garment's details.

Q: Should I wear a long or short sleeve fishing shirt?
Long sleeves provide more coverage; short sleeves leave more of your arms exposed. Compare fabric weight, ventilation and any stated UPF rating, and choose a fit that lets you cast comfortably.
