Since I started fly fishing this spring this winter will be my first time cold weather fishing/cold weather fly fishing. I think I am doing pretty good for this winter although I do think wading in freezing cold water adds it's own little complications.
I have:
-Long johns (pants and top)
-Thick wool socks
-Merinos wool t-shirt
-Hoody
-all kinds of synthetic and fleece long sleeve shirts
-Buff
-Waders and nice wading boots
I am thinking I need a fleece or other material vest to keep my core warm. Also I am looking into another layer for my legs. Right now I plan to wear some track pants over my long johns if it is that cold. I am not terribly worried about the upper half of my body as I have a ton of options that I didn't include on the list as well. I also have good hats.
What I am really looking for are gloves. Fingerless sounds appealing but at the same time I need something that can get wet. So, suggestions on gloves for fly fishing in winter?
Anyone care to share their setups? Anything I am missing? Any cool products I can look into? I am going to up near Rollins pass tomorrow. While I don't think it will be super cold it will be my first time fishing in colder weather and I am sure I will learn a lot. If anyone has advice for cold weather wading/fly fishing please share!
