Location: Scandia MN | I use a dish towel soaked in cold water and draped over the back of my neck - Works better then it sounds and helps keep the sun off you as well - - - - |

Location: Waukee, IA | Long sleeves, face buff and ball cap all doused with lake water for the physical discomfort. Lots of water, Gatorade and fruit to eat for the physiological effects of heat. I also keep the body hair clipped pretty short everywhere, laugh if you want, it makes a huge difference. |

| A cowboy hat and American flag banana hammock works well. Especially when I fish the Canadian side of St Clair |

LOL, awesome
If I'm not sitting in the AC or gaining brownie points so I can get out when the weather is more favorable. I probably throw the trunks on and enjoy the water until the sun gets a little closer Japan. |

Location: SE, WI. | Yep; The Frod Togs Chili Pad, many times , plain out , save my life. Walking 9.5 - 13.5 miles a day for 30 + years in 90 -105 degree temps during the summer months, the frog tog was a savior!!! Not sure if I make it through the day without it. Wrapped a tray of ice cubes inside the towel, then wrapped it around the back of my neck. Really cooled down your body temp!!! JD |

| 1. Convertible nylon pants (the kind where the legs zip off)
2. Lightweight long sleeve fishing shirts (white is best)
3. Dunking hat in the water often
4. Lots of water
5. Don't drink too much the night before
6. Eat! Not just jerky and beer, either...
6. (most important) keep your weight down! Sounds silly, but I tolerate the sun and heat MUCH better when I've lost even 10#. I'm sure some of it is age, but when I was 175# the heat didn't bother me much at all. When I got to 190# it started to be a nuisance. When I got to 230# a 95 degree day was just plain unbearable. Think of fishing with a 50# backpack. That's what you're basically doing if you're carrying a lot of weight around the middle.
Back hurt? Legs hurt? Uh huh...

Location: Stevens Point, Wi. | I keep 2 buffs in the cooler, just laying in the melting ice cubes. When one starts getting warm, switching to an ice cold, dripping buff is instant bliss. |
