Yep, and for taking photos, too. But in my never-ending quest to
acquire more fly-fishing related stuff, I've been thinking about trying
Rx glasses, and the photochromic ones look like the best bet for the way
I use them.

Yellow for dark days (again, the
Clinton era comes to mind) and blue, brown, or amber for lighter conditions.

I use my yellows in all but the brightest conditions. Like the OP,
most standard glasses block out too much for my liking.
