Winter Fishing Gloves

the only problem with the belt is you cant wade past your waist. Not that there are many places to do that at taney, but for other applications.

Brown Jersy work gloves. They are cheap. About a 1$ a pair and your can carry several pair for the price of other glove so you always have a dry pair to put on. These are the most versitle of gloves, kinda like the duct tape or bailing wire of gloves. If you want a fingerless version, grab your pocket knife and create your customized gloves. They also work as a handkerchief, and in a pinch will work when nature calls as a great subsitution to T.P with five trys per hand allowing detailed sanitizing. (just don't make the mistake of using as a handkerchief afterwards...gets messy) Try this with your favorite pair of neoprenes or wool fingerless gloves.

The best gloves I've found are Sealskinz. They aren't insulated but they are waterproof and they breath to keep your hands dry, and dry seems to be the key. Stick a hand warmer in a pocket and you can recover some heat when needed.

I couldnt find a link on their website, but i found a pair of wool foldover mittens that are insulated with 40gram thinsulate fleece at target. they are extremely warm and comfortable and give you the option to be fingerless. to top it off, they were only $10, you cant beat that.

Fleece then wool on the really cold days. I paddle the yak with neoprene, but when fishing my hands sweat with neoprene then get cold. Fleece and wool wick the moisture away retaining the warmth. Beware of cotton rag type gloves that look like wool. Cotton soaks up water like a sponge and you might as well just keep you hands in the water. Thermax is good if you can find them also. Silk wicks moisture also.

i did really well on my last taney trip with neopreme gloves from bps that had a folding thumb and index finger to allow for dexterity. i just put a hand warmer between my hand and glove and my hands never got cold. it was cold... 26 according to the radio. there is a thin fleece lining that wicks sweat away for the dryness factor.

I have alot of gloves..

reg ones, Neoprenes, fleece...

I really like the ones Randall had...

Thin small one man did they look comfy!!

The glove I have I just dont like... the neoprene is big and bulky.. I have to take them off to unhook a fish...

fleece just dont like the feel..

reg glove.. if they get wet you get cold!!

I have yet to try wool...Like fleece I dont like the way it feels.. but Im willing to try anything...

But here is a small trick I found..

Carry some vasilene with you (it will freeze if left in cold to long)...

rub it on your hand and it sheds the water keep your hands warmer and dryer...

Only bad thing is it really feel awkward it gets really greasy but after a few times using it.. you get use to it

the ones i have are called glacier gloves. i picked em up at bps in columbia last winter for pretty cheap, like $10 or so. don't think i've seen em since, but i haven't really been looking. they've been clutch at work too.
