OB Fisherman: Why do people wear the buff face/neck fish print things?

I think it looks absolutely ridiculous!

I never see anyone wearing those things except for those yippy boys from the city

that was the first thing i asked my buddy......anything that hampers kayak fishing/beer drinking is turrible.

I wear one on windy and sunny days. It beats putting on and re-applying sunscreen every few hours, mine is just a solid color though.

Okay....wind seems to be a good use. Unfortunately like anything else idiots latch on to stuff like this and make it look stupid. There's a show that comes on the outdoor or sportsman chanel and the host always has one on, like a necklace.....even when he's not fishing.

Thanks for helping me understand why normal people buy these.

That's the one I got so

Made fun of a guy I bring fly fishing and he gave me that one on our next trip. They are actually pretty cool during the summer and I hate reapplying sunscreen all day. I use it more during duck season when I'm making long runs to the blinds, keeps may face from getting scalier than a gators arse. Another bonus is they keep the gnats of my neck and out of my ears, which I can't stand.

All that said, I know I still look gay.

i always wear longsleeves as well

Great lightweight barrier for cold weather. I never wear mine over the face, just the head and ears. Never in summer. Found them last year for $1.98 @ Academy.

I bought a cheap Columbia one from Academy on our last trip. There was was an overestimated cold front front on the way. It just got windy. That little thing was awesome. I didn't wear it like the guy in your pic but I kept my ears and neck covered all day from the wind.

I really can't emphasize enough how awesome those things are when the gnats get really bad.
