Have you ever frozen your feet out there while on the water fishing?

Ever had to quit fishing because your feet were so bad, so cold, they hurt so bad.

You definitely don't want to worry about that while fishing, and today I'm going to share a few tips that I learned while out up in New York this year.

We're going to get into it, and this is going to help you keep your feet warm and cozy this season.

Hey, I'm Dave, host of the Wet Fly Swing podcast, and I've interviewed probably about as many fly anglers as anybody else out there.

I've heard from the best, and I've been on the water with some of the best guides around the

world, definitely around North America, some cold water, and I'm a winter steelheader.

So I know a little about being in cold water.

In fact, I was on a trip this winter just a couple weeks ago in New York, and the temperature

was about 33 degrees.

And so I've got a little story to share there. So today I'm going to give you the five biggest

tips to keep your feet warm this winter and to avoid that frigid cold and to avoid you having to get out and miss a fish on your next

trip. But let me tell you about that story before I get into these tips. So we just did this,

And we're sitting out there in these runs, and it wasn't like we

were waiting up to our belt buckle, but you know, you're waiting in, you know, water up to your

knees or whatever it was. And my feet started to get cold. And as I sat there, I just kind of kept going.

And I hadn't hooked the fish yet. And eventually, I slowly tried to get out. I was trying to do some things to move around. But eventually I had to get out of the water. And I just kind of sat in the bank and went down and talked to Rick. And it was because my feet were so cold, they were like feeling almost numb. They were painful. And I didn't have the right gear on even though I know in the past I've

done some things I'm going to talk about that here in a little bit some things some tips that

came up recently on a podcast one of our podcast and so I'm going to I'm going to talk about that

and how you can avoid doing exactly what I did which was a miss an opportunity. In fact, that day, I was skunked.

I didn't get a steelhead that day, and I was fishing with Rick and our client there,
