Best bet over all, IMO, would be the GMRS radios, unless you need to
spend the extra money to impress your friends. (Which we all know fly
fisherman are prone to do)

Some things to watch for:

Personally, for outdoor use, I like to avoid rechargable batteries, as they
aren't easily replaced in the field. This doesn't apply if I'll be in
contact with a car, and have a car charger.

Try to go with something light, unobtrusive, and "weatherproof"- whatever
that means. I'd prefer something waterproof, but the only waterproof GMRS
I can find is the Garmin Rhino, and that has a GPS attached and is way
overpriced.
