Rad Dad - 5 Tips to be a Rad Dad this Father's Day Weekend

By Lee Molvie

To celebrate all the stylish and fishing obsessed dad's out there, Lee Molvie puts on his Winston Polarized Sunglasses, and a few nuggets of wisdom for those “Rad Dads” looking to hit the river with their family and live the outdoor lifestyle.


Rad Dad Fishing Rules

  • Live Your Passions and Values: Don't lose your adventurous spirit. Keep doing what you love, and bring the kids

  • Be Fashionably Late: The early bird might get the worm, but the Rad Dad has the most fun. You’re on baby time now, so don't sweat the alarm clock or worry if you’re the last boat to the ramp. It's all about making the most of the time you have together. 

  • Cue the Soundtrack: Good music amplifies the joy in every moment, far better than podcasts about Euro nymphing tactics. Crank the tunes on that long drive to the river.

  • Embrace the Uniform: Embrace the baby carriers, diaper bags, white New Balances and knee socks (ok, maybe not the last two). But rocking the Winston polarized sunglasses means you can look good spotting trout or dropping them off at daycare.

  • Don't Sweat the Small Stuff: Miss the hatch? Get beat to your favorite run? Spill the milk? These are minor eddies in the river of life. Focus on the love, laughter, and the incredible privilege of seeing fishing through your child's eyes.
