bites Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Does anyone wear gloves while fly fishing in the winter? I've been trying out some gloves I've had lying around at home but nothing seems to work very well. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHasFish Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 No glove, no love I use neoprene usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I put the simms gloves on my Christmas wish list...but having said that not tried gloves with the fly rod. Cant see where it would be any harder than using gloves float fishing. Being a spey caster both hands are on the rod so i dont see it being an obstackle....maybe single hand might be different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lund-SS Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I have simms windstopper fingerless gloves and the fold over ones, I really like them, but they aren't water proof. The fingerless wool gloves are also nice and still warm went they get damp, also liner gloves can be alright like under armour or marks warehouse has their brand as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanl Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Although this is a fly sub-forum. I have been wondering about gloves in the colder months that I can use for my center pin, iv been using mechanic gloves and they get the job done, but ineed a warmer pair that still allows me to feel the pin letting line out, reccomendations?

jackz905 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 i just go to canadian tire and grab a pair of 5 dallor fingerless gloves with grip to hold the fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Ive used those cheap white wool gloves with the black nibs on them and find your line gets stuck to the rubber grip or those nibs. I also tried a thin pair of hunters bow gloves that worked great but never kept my hands warm enough. Was doing some reading about placing those hand warmers inside the gloves on top of your wrist....supposed to keep the blood flowing better and help keep your finger tips warm. Im going to give the simms fingerless gloves with the fold over mit a shot next. I have a problem holding onto gloves cant count all the ones ive lost. Just picked up some really thin ladies gloves all wool at CT for 89 cents....they fit nice and tight and feel not bad....keep the chill off at least. The simms are not cheap $59 put the name simms on anything and the price doubles...lol. if anyone finds the answer to gloves let me know too..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_b Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Those simms gloves absorb water like crazy Dave...So if you're gonna get em avoid dipping your hands in water and avoid rain (yes it gets in with rain). Not worth the price to me...its good for wind though... I'm still searching for a good winter fishing glove as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I guess thats half the problem is its almost a givin your hands are getting wet when fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeman4 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYktDCP-IWU make yourself one of these, and bring along some tea or coffee, rest your pool, get warm and then resume fishing a very small amount of rubbing alcohol actually goes a very long way, so just bring a small bottle with you.

I was also looking at a pair of neoprene gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackz905 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 im interested in trying to kast steelheading gloves they look like they would work great to get your hands dry dont know about warmth tho http://kastgear.com/gloves.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Those look good Jackz....buy the time you factor in tax and shipping $100 gloves plus you cant even try them on to see if you like them. Seems fishing, driving to go fishing....smoking and drinking and any other addictions all cost TOO MUCH MONEY !!!! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasin_musky Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I own the Simms windstoppers as well. They are awesome gloves for cold days, they have a pocket in the wrist for hand warmers which I find nice. As for them getting wet that is true. I hate the neoprene gloves for fly fishing or float fishing as the line tends to stick to the gloves to much not allowing you control your line as well.
