Avoiding Frozen Fingers and Keeping Your Hands Warm(er) on the Winter Water

from The Backcountry Fly Fishing Podcast · host Ross Izard

Very few things will ruin a day of fishing like frozen, achy fingers that won't work when you need them to. In this episode, Ross walks you through how to keep your hands as warm as possible on the winter water without limiting your ability to manage the line, tie the knots, and do the other stuff you've got to do to fly fish effectively. Disclaimer: It's the winter, and there's no way around the fact that your fingers are going to get cold if you're crazy enough to fly fish through the frigid depths of winter. They just are. But with the right gear and a few simple tricks, you can manage the cold in a way that will let you stay on the water long after others have headed back to hold their frozen hands in front of their car vents. If you're enjoying the show, don't forget to follow us and (if you're feeling gracious) leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.Have questions or suggestions for the podcast?
