Sitka has built its reputation on having some of the best hunting gear out there. But now, the brand is dipping its toes into life on the water with its all-new fishing collection. Sitka Fish—the brand's first dabble in the fishing industry—includes 41 pieces designed for any type of angler. Waders, rain gear, sun shirts, fishing pants, wading boots—all created with Sitka's top-of-the-line waterproof and windproof (and even insect-repellent) technology.
Basically, you definitely want to get your hands on some of these pieces for the upcoming fishing seasons. And because things are likely to sell out quick (as they always do when Sitka releases new gear), we recommend shopping sooner than later. Below are some of our favorite pieces from the new Sitka Fish series.
The Best Sitka Fishing Gear
Zip GTX Stockingfoot Wader
Sitka waders have long had our heart, and the fishing version is just as good. They're described as the "most protective, precisely calibrated wader ever created," with four layers of waterproof Gore-Tex, plenty of pockets for tools (including a handwarmer pocket), and integrated knee pads and gravel guards for durability.
CrossCurrent Wading Boots
The newest addition to Sitka's footwear lineup, the CrossCurrent wading boots are lightweight yet supportive with a stable molded ankle and cushioned EVA midsole. The aluminum cleats allow you to stay sure-footed on any terrain, no matter how rocky or slippery.
Guard Sun Hoodie
A lightweight fishing hoodie—but make it insect-repellent. Not only does the Guard Sun Hoodie have Sitka's patented InsectShield technology, it also has UPF 50+ sun protection and a full coverage hood for defense against rays on the water. It comes in six colors, from foam green to saltwater blue.
CAT-5 Jacket
The CAT-5 Jacket could be the piece we're most excited about in this new release. It has what Sitka calls "first-of-its-kind GORE-TEX® with Stretch construction," which means it's fully waterproof but also surprisingly flexible so you can cast or paddle without it limiting your movement. Highlights also include a magnetic chest pocket, submersible cuffs and storm hood, and convenient interior pockets with mesh dividers for organization.
Guard Sun Shirt
Just like the hoodie, the Guard Sun Shirt (as the name suggests) is made with UPF 50+ and insect-repellent fabric for all-day protection. The mesh back vents offer plenty of breathability and range of motion, while the zippered pocket is a perfect spot for your pliers or knife.
Riptide Pant
If you're in the market for some high quality fishing pants, the Riptide pants are a solid option. They're made of a stretchy, quick-drying fabric with a comfy yet tailored fit and have more than enough pockets to keep all your gear easily accessible and secure (including a a reinforced plier pocket!).
