Winter Fly Fishing Skills #3 -- Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Show Notes

Here's a full podcast dedicated to staying warm, from head to toe. Because sometimes, staying warm and functional in the winter is far more important than the tactics. The cold becomes our biggest challenge.

This episode is about keeping the cold out, the heat in and fishing hard — all day long, in even the roughest weather. More specifically, it's about regulating your body heat while on the river.

In This Episode, We Cover the Following

  • How to regulate heat with layers and zippers
  • Staying mobile with flexible layers that hold in heat and let it go
  • Best materials for each zone, each layer
  • Hats, buffs, balaclavas, hoods
  • Dark colors and UV rays
  • Base layers, insulating layers, outer layers
  • Winters waders, winter boots
  • Socks
  • Heat packs
  • Battery solutions
  • . . . more
