My good friend Kirk Deeter has given me several really good pieces of advice over the years when it comes to fly fishing, not the least of which was before my first-ever trip to fish the flats some 16 years ago: “Be sure to wear quick-dry underwear.

Finding the right clothing “cocktail” can be a challenge, given just how frequently Mother Nature changes her mind.
