Fly fishing glove

Abstract

A fly fishing glove stabilizes a wearer's wrist and does not allow the wrist to bend or twist, thus providing longer and more accurate casts. The glove may include a palm side stabilizer, a backside hand stabilizer, and an ulnar side stabilizer. When the glove is worn, two straps, one in the glove body and one in an arm cuff of the glove, secure the glove and the stabilizers in position. The stabilizers may limit, minimize or prevent movement of the wearer's wrist and may provide a wrist position ideal for casting a fly fishing line.
