Thanks to you all!foreignmuck wrote:Hardcore! What sort of temperature is the water you're fishing?
Its around 2-4 degrees, so not to bad. The fish is really in a good condition, perhaps due to lots of the small scrimp (Krill). The cold is really not a problem except for fingers.

We've found that for flyfishing in very cold conditions, the best solution is a pair of thin merino wool gloves inside a pair of nitrile gloves (the kind you use in a lab). Allows you to feel the line and keep dry/warm at the same time. Way better than neoprene gloves (or no gloves at all).FlyAlf wrote:The cold is really not a problem except for fingers.

Thanks for info. Havent tried that. Neoprene are no good. They dont get wet inside during a day? I have used Zealskin since they breathe, but their really not durable.JanMan wrote:We've found that for flyfishing in very cold conditions, the best solution is a pair of thin merino wool gloves inside a pair of nitrile gloves (the kind you use in a lab).

I must have stared at your pic for minutes at a time, many times over - just cannot grasp the conditions you fish in. WOW actually. For me this is an amazing picture - you sitting on an iceblock with a fly rod in hand, snow falling, and to top it off, right next to the sea :ninja . (Contrasted with shorts, warm sunshine, sea spray and a warm ocean of 24-28 Deg C :p )
Great going Alf. Hope the fish keep biting. BTW, what fly are you using to imitate the Krill?
Stay Warm
