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.

Also, many of these radios have a weather alert feature. I recommend
this. Interestingly, the only time I've ever had it go off was hell year
at Penns Clave.
