visiting next week

[Jarrod Brown]

What kind of clothing should be pack for this coming week? I have only been to northfork once before and it was warm then. This will be my first cold weather fishing trip. I have a pair of neoprene waders but they fit pretty snug, should I get some that are not so snug and layer under the neoprene as well? Thanks for the informaiton and help, I'm still learning this stuff.

Just my suggestions but I would layer under breathable wader material. If your going to purchase some new neoprenes I would just go ahead and get the breathable. You can layer with polypropelene underwear, then some fleece. That should keep you warm but at the same time allow for wicking of any moisture under the breathables. A breathable jacket of some sort would be nice also. I like a stocking cap for these kinds of conditions, and some wool gloves of some sort are also good. Wool made gloves will keep your hands warm even if they get a bit wet. I have some wool mittens that pull back and become fingerless which are nice for tying on flies and rebuilding leaders. I use a thin layer of polypropelene socks under cotton ones in my wading boots.

I would like to add to what Dano suggested and recommend that you buy your boots big enough to accomodate two pair of heavy polypropelene socks. I was on the Norfork this afternoon and it was pretty chilly.

Jarrod, I was out on the Norfork last week and it was cold.I was wearing a pair of quilted jeans[a pair of long underwear under your jeans same thing]and a carrhart jacket not the beefy insulated one and was fine.My neoprenes are 3mm not 5mm[the 5mm are warmer].I would suggest a warm stocking hat and a couple pairs of gloves especially if you go on a boat.If your like me you don't get cold if your catching fish only when fishings slow which the fork rarely is.Word is a 19lps.brown was caught last week so keep that in mind when you start to get cold.I don't know where, when,what on , or who as I only read it on AGFC weekly fishing report.Good luck and post us a report.
