What are your favorite cold weather fishing gloves

[Aaron Christensen]

I need some gloves for an upcoming Spring steelhead trip.

Aaron, I have been using a pair similar to these for about 4 years, and I love them.

I find that even when my hands get wet , they still keep them warm. I hate wearing gloves and trying to fish, but when it becomes necessary, these gloves have impressed me time and time again.

No lie

I love these things

Aaron…first choice are the Filson Merino Wool fingerless gloves.

[mike j]

wool is best, second would be seal skins with silk liners.

Go to the army surplus store nearest you.

Cameron,

I second that…can’t go wrong with the Filson wool gloves.

Wool is best.

How cold we talking here?

[Aaron Christensen]

Hmm, having visited MN during my trip to the Boundary Waters several years ago and hearing stories about plugging in cars at night, I am reluctant to try to define “cold” from my home in Charlotte.

Aaron,
I live in northern Ohio and fish for steelhead  a lot. I would worry more about the rest of your body before you get to concerned about your hands.  Standing tea bag deep in  30 some degree water will make you glad you thought about more than your gloves. In my experience a dry pair of gloves is always best.  I like the cheap knit gloves and I don’t worry about if they match. 3 pair is a good start plus some in the truck just in case. If your hands are that cold the slush and ice on your guides will be a bigger PITA.
PM me if your looking for someone to fish with.

I love my Filson wool gloves (same as Cameron’s).

My favorite gloves? Dry gloves … any dry glove. I was out in 18-degree Oklahoma (brutal without the beauty of, say, Boulder Creek) weather last Monday, and if you’re catching, you’re getting your hands wet. Switched out from Simms mitts to fleece fingered with Pearli (cycling) waterproof over those and was toasty. There is a lot of crossover from cycling to fly fishing when it comes to apparel. shannon

I got these a few weeks ago from Cloudveil and I have enjoyed them.

They don’t have those little flaps to cover your fingers when you are not fishing and are comfortable.

Patagonia or Simms polar fleece fingerless…I find the wool gloves get caught on flies too much…just my two cents…

[Cameron Mortenson]

Kevin…you’re right…flies do get caught in wool…but once my Patagonia fleece gloves are wet they no longer keep my hands warm.

I like these from Orvis.

Todd,

I didn’t know Orvis made giant brown trout.
