A good shelter is often worth its weight in gold when it's raining, or a biting wind is blowing but as others have said, it all depends on venue and time spent fishing.
I used to have a Dave Dowcra brolly with storm flaps that was amazing. Super strong with a skirt along the bottom that you could pile sand or pebbles on to secure it. I have had three of us under it sheltering from passing squalls with room to spare and still had room to keep bait and tackle dry.

Nowadays I am a bit more selective on the days I go fishing so tend not to bother with anything other than a big waterproof coat.
