As a fisherman also, I have fallen in love with the light weight quick drying fishing clothes like those made by Columbia. They are light, cool, protect you from the sun, and dry quick if you get caught in a rain shower or need to wash them. I wear padded cycling shorts under the shorts. They also have convertible long pants that can be zipped off. Unless it's real cold (rare in Georgia) I wear these clothes year round for biking and fishing. And yes they even have bright colors.
