Sunglasses, what I'm using;

[Ard]

This year I got new shades, Oakley Flak - Prizm Shallow Water Polarized.

I would say they are very good and can be found at reasonable pricing if you call $100 reasonable. I like them , especially since the water has dropped and cleared

Hey, Ard.

I still use Cocoon clip-on, flip ups, due to my Rx glasses.

Hi Steve,

I have a prescription pair of polarizers also, I get away with wearing these because I wear a contact on my right eye and none on my left. Here's how that works; if I use glasses or contact lens's they correct my distance vision really well...…… But the close range stuff isn't clear especially things like tying knots. I've been doing the one contact thing for years, switching right to left. It may sound strange but I get the best of both worlds, I have no problems reading the river 100 yards ahead while driving through low or boulder strewn stretches and...…… I can see perfectly to read - use this computer or tie a knot

The sunglasses I have now allow me to spot salmon really well so I can avoid having one chase and get hooked while I'm fishing for trout / steelhead. I can also pick out a trout hanging around the salmon when they are there. I'm liking them a lot.

Restarting fly fishing this year has shown me that my eyes aren't quite what they used to be! Not quite ready for prescription lenses for daily wear, but I did get the Smith Guide's Choice polarized bifocal in the lower magnification. They definitely help when tying on the 18 and smaller flys in my fly box!

I've been using Oakley for many years and really love them. But now that my up close vision is gone I need to start looking at other options.

Ard,
I know that works, but just thinking about sticking my finger in my eye gives me he willies.
