Waders and Wading Boots For Winter

OK, it is important to stay as warm as possible while fishing in the winter.  Waders are an essential part of that.  I’ve found you can still get away with wearing breathable waders vs. neoprene if you where fleece pants underneathe.  The very most important part of your attire in the winter is your wading boots.  Make sure you go one, or two sizes larger than you do in the summer for your boots.  This allows good circulation, and also makes it easy to get your boots on and off when they are cold, or frozen.  You might also consider a boot-foot wader.  With a boot-foot wader you don’t have to mess with bending over and fighting frozen laces etc., just make sure you go a size big. Follow this advice and you will have a more pleasant experience fishing in the winter.
