Gloves in Freezing Conditions 101

Assumption: you fish without gloves whenever you can. So,

carry three sets of gloves:

1) Running Gloves
2) Warm Yer Hands Gloves
3) Release Gloves

Running Gloves are insulated, waterproof 5 finger deals worn when you are putting in or out, and running the boat from one spot to another. Store these anywhere, doesn't matter if you put them on cold, you'll be wearing them a while.

Warming Gloves are big mittens (Choppers) loaded with handwarmers. Pop the handwarmers as you hit the landing and store mittens in your parka hand pockets. Sorta like holsters. Reday to dry and warm you hands anytime, just poke your hands in.

Release Gloves (Lindy's or whatever) are always 5 finger and once wet must be wrung out and stored in a gallon ziplock bag along with a popped handwarmer. It is impossible to put a set of wet > frozen Lindy gloves on your hands.

Class over, hope it was helpful.
