Adding a scarf?

[swimmy]

I’m actually headed down to Billings right now to look for a new scarf so this feedback is helpful. The weather is perfect for a day of shopping…28 degrees and fresh snow.

I will circle back later.

At last! A fly fishing question!

Don't fade houndstooth. Classic pattern (my personal favorite).

Yeah I dunno either. I'm lost in this thread. Somebody post a bass jersey please.

Definitely had to Google Ascot. I thought the whole twilight teenage vampire trend was over...

The past couple of years, I have really taken to the scarf. It is such a functional piece as well as a great way to provide an accent to the wardrobe. And they are just not for old people. Did you know that a skinny scarf has been one of the most searched accessories in 2022?

With that said, does anyone wear this piece while fishing? Buffs simply don't provide enough insulation so I'm wondering about a wool scarf to help keep warm?

Either I'm completely behind on this or PNWFF could be on the verge of starting a trend. Thoughts?

Use a neck gaiter like the skiers use. Very effective iin keeping out the cold. I pull mine up over my chin for extra comfort...turtle fur is soft and not itchy like wool..

This ^ I have a wool buff/neck gaiter that is in heavy roatation. Kinda a scarf? Definitely not fashionable but works great!
I do have several scarves that my mom and grandmom knitted for me. I have tried to rock 'em but it just doesn't work for me

Fashion has no place in fishing. Everything without a purpose( except extra flies you know you don't need) is trash.

Mmmm, not so sure about that.

Ascot only works if you're wearing tweed, which of course, every flyfisher should:

Between marriages I dated a hippie gal that lived on Lummi Island. She was a weaver and made me a scarf some 30 or so years ago. Still have it and wear it often in winter, even while fishing…

Wendy the weaver…

The real question is how you wear the scarf. I have 4-5 that gets a lot of use in the winter, especially when paired with my peacoat of duffle coat. My favorite is a handmade Scottish merino plaid my mom brought back from vacation. I only have 1 that gets worn while fishing, but only rarely. I find I don't like them in the rain and it's not often cold and dry here on the westside.

Are you doing a single wrap with long tails? Double wrap with short tails? Folded and single wrap? Folded and both tails passed through?

I'm pretty sure cold weather, less bulk, nothing to catch on stuff, can't forget to grab it from the car is why turtleneck sweaters were invented
