herder

I kayak fish and learned a long time ago not to wear shorts in the yak, my legs and thighs got burned during a "quick" trip on a local river. Could barely walk at work for a couple of days. Long sleeve shirts, long pants, light poly socks, hat and sun screen for the neck and ears. Also use the stick sunscreen for the face and schnozz. I have a bunch of tech shirts that they gave out at Kayak fishing tournaments. One thing to be aware of with those if the weather turns while out; clouds, rain and wind, they can get really cold fast. I was out a couple of weeks ago when that happened to me, luckily I was only a mile from the launch but by the time I got there I could feel the beginning of hypothermia coming on. Always carry a spare cotton shirt in a dry bag and towels in the car.

That was a great read, I love the history and were indebted to Ned for documenting all this before it is lost. Here's a blurb from In-Fisherman from the October\November 2007 issue that might be interesting to you all.
