Cheap Polaroid glasses

We all fish with Polaroid sunglasses. When it is bright, the normal Polaroid sunglasses are great. But when it is overcast, late in the afternoon or in the shadows, like lots of trees on the banks, or a mountain on the side, the normal sunglasses are way too dark. Same thing when you fish the "evening hatch" when the sun is under the horizon.

To buy a pair of "Good Polaroid sunglasses for low light" is very expensive. Almost not worth the effort. And that the keep in your fly vest for the odd occasion.

A cheap, but very good alternative is to buy "Night Time Driving Glasses" The lenses are the lightest shades of yellow and most of the glasses are polarized. The cost of these glasses are between 10% and 25% of good polarized sunglasses. Cheap enough to keep a pair in your fly vest for the occasions that you do fish in overcast conditions, late in the afternoon, of after dark.
Try it out, you will love them! I now use mine for a lot of day time fishing as well.

Since you got this far …

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
