Summer fishing comes with its own set of challenges, and staying cool while out on the water is essential for both comfort and safety. In this episode of Southeastern Fly, we sit down with Patrick Stansbury, a retired physician assistant and current fishing manager at Orvis in Nashville, to break down the best ways to beat the heat and keep fishing at your best.

From choosing the right clothing to protecting yourself from the sun, Patrick shares practical advice rooted in both his medical background and years of experience on the water. We cover:

The Importance of Proper Clothing – Why lightweight, breathable fabrics with built-in sun protection make all the difference.
Sunscreen Done Right – When and how to apply sunscreen so it actually works (hint: before you leave the house!).
Gear That Keeps You Cool – From wide-brim hats to cooling buffs and gloves, the best accessories for shielding yourself from the sun.
Hydration & Heat Management – How staying hydrated can prevent heat exhaustion and help you fish longer.

We also talk snook fishing in Florida, wading vs. boat fishing in the summer, and—of course—the heartbreaking tale of the one that got away.

If you’ve ever found yourself overheating mid-cast or regretting a forgotten tube of sunscreen, this episode is packed with insights that will change the way you approach summer fishing.
