Women's Fishing Shirts — Sun Protection That Doesn't Compromise
The anchor of this collection is the Women's Sol Series — UPF 50 sun protection fishing shirts engineered for long days in direct sun on the water. Available in V-neck and crew styles, they deliver over 98% UV blocking through breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that keeps you cool even when temperatures climb.
For women who spend serious time on the water — tournament fishing, guided trips, full days on a boat — a quality UPF 50 fishing shirt outperforms sunscreen in every meaningful way. Sunscreen wears off with sweat and water. A UPF 50 fishing shirt works all day, every cast, without reapplication.
The Women's Sol V-Neck and Women's Sol Crew are available in multiple colors including Pink, Arctic Blue, Sea Grass, and White — purpose-built for warm weather fishing and comfortable enough to wear all day on and off the water.
Women's Fishing Hoodies & Layers
For cooler mornings, breezy days on the water, and shoulder season fishing, the Ultimate Full Zip Hoodie rounds out the women's collection with a mid-weight performance layer that zips on and off fast when conditions change. Breathable, moisture-managing fabric keeps you comfortable whether you're running the boat or sitting still waiting on a bite.
Made in USA Women's Fishing Gear
Select pieces in the Fish Lake Co women's collection — including the Ultimate Full Zip Hoodie and Polartec fleece layers — are made right here in the United States. Fish Lake Co is one of the only fishing apparel brands still manufacturing domestically. For women who care about where their gear is made and want clothing built to last through seasons of hard use on the water, that distinction is worth paying attention to.
Building Your Women's Fishing Kit
Start with a Women's Sol UPF 50 fishing shirt as your warm weather foundation — sun protection you can wear all day without thinking about it. Layer an Ultimate Full Zip Hoodie over the top on cool mornings and shed it as temperatures rise. Add a Solar Gaiter for complete neck and face coverage on full-sun days.
For colder water and shoulder season trips, explore the full Technical collection for Polartec fleece mid-layers and performance base layers that pair seamlessly with this collection.
