Sorry, Photo op. That gear has never been wet above the ankles. Show me fisherman with gear that clean outside a pro shop. Besides, who fishes in a pink long sleeve dress shirt? I call bullshit.
Maybe they took the picture before they started fishing. And unless it's very hot you probably want a long sleeve shirt otherwise you're going to get burnt. Try spending 6 - 8 hours on the water on a sunny day. I've done it. Often. You need sunscreen, lip balm and clothes that cover most of your skin. A hat is also recommended otherwise you'll burn your scalp. Have you ever seen the people that go out fishing in Florida? All parts of their body are covered.
If the water is warm enough, and if you're going for trout you're usually not fishing water that's too warm, I like to wet wade (just shorts and wading boots) as waders do make it quite hot. But even then as long as it's not too hot I would rather wear a long sleeve shirt so I don't have to worry about putting sunscreen on my arms and/or getting my arms burnt. If you're on a multi-day fishing trip you don't want to get burnt the first day and have to stay in the next couple of days. Kind of ruins the trip.
