Your favorite fishing locations around the world... and what shades to wear there
As the air gets a little bit to it and the trees change colors, autumn produces some of the best fishing opportunities in the year. Whether you're on the hunt for salmon in Alaska, bonefish in the Bahamas, or river trout across Europe, fall provides smaller crowds, stunning scenery, and and cooler temps.
But that doesn't mean you get to skip on good gear... having the right sunglasses are just as important as the right rod and reel. Check out our four favorite fishing spots around the world and our sunglasses to match each adventure.
1. Bristol Bay, Alaska – Salmon & Rainbow Trout
Fall is prime time in Alaska’s Bristol Bay, where giant rainbow trout gorge on late salmon runs. Crisp mornings, snow-dusted peaks, and pristine waters make this an unforgettable experience.
Best Match: Freshwater Revivals
Designed for inshore and freshwater fishing, the Freshwater Revivals keep your vision sharp even under shifting fall skies. The polarized brown-tinted V52® lenses cut glare so you can spot fish before they see you, and the recycled fishing-net frame makes them as sustainable as the waters you’re fishing.
2. The Bahamas – Bonefish Flats
While much of the world cools down, the Bahamas remains a paradise. In autumn, the winds calm, making it prime season for sight-fishing bonefish on the shimmering flats.
Best Match: Saltwater Revivals
With blazing sun and reflective turquoise waters, the Saltwater Revivals are built for clarity at sea. Their mirrored polarized lenses slash glare, while the wraparound fit and recycled fishing-net frame give comfort and sustainability. These are the ultimate tool for chasing silver ghosts in paradise.
3. The Scottish Highlands – Brown Trout & Atlantic Salmon
Golden landscapes, misty lochs, and fast rivers make Scotland a magical fall destination. The salmon runs are legendary, and brown trout remain active well into October.
Best Match: Waylons
The Waylons strike the balance between performance and heritage style – perfect for the rugged Highlands. With polarized V52® performance optics and a detachable headstrap, they’re ready for long days on the river, yet stylish enough for the pub afterward.
4. Patagonia, Argentina – Trout Paradise
As the Southern Hemisphere enters spring, Patagonia comes alive. September to November is peak time for trout fishing, with clear rivers framed by jagged peaks and wild, untouched landscapes.
Best Match: Howlin’
From casting in high winds to trekking between river valleys, the Howlin’ are built for versatility. Their rounded aviator design blends style with functionality, while the detachable headstrap keeps them locked in whether you’re wading deep pools or hiking to remote waters.
Final Cast
Fishing in fall is about more than just catching fish, it’s about losing yourself in nature and enjoying the great outdoors. With VALLON, you’re not just seeing clearly, you’re seeing better.
