OK, never having owned a fishing raincoat, I have a really stupid question.
Do you wear it under or over your gear vest? I can imagine not wanting to
get the vest and all that gear wet, but I can also imagine not being able to
get access to all that gear either.

Or do you buy one loose enough to wear either way? That would make for one
very baggy jacket, imho.


If I am on the stream and it starts to rain, then I put the jacket on
over the vest. And my girth is much bigger than Claspy's tho his cavity
might be....never mind.

If suiting up to fish in damp weather, I use a lanyard and stick what I
think I will need in the jacket's or the shirt pockets and leave vest
in car. If I think I will need more than the jacket and shirt pockets
will hold (please note use of word *think*) then I will wear vest over
the jacket and let it get wet as it will dry. If it is a warmth issue I
wear vest over jacket.
