I'm just curious what are some good fly fishing gloves too buy. Might end up trying the provo river, weber river, and maybe a few other lakes before they freeze up. I tried to fly fish on the jordan river today but my hand were killing me.

I like Simms or Orvis fingerless. Fleece is nice cause you can dry them out just by wringing the water out.

I wear the cheapo neoprene gloves from sportsmans with knit gloves under with the index and thumbs cut off at the ends. I like to hit the weber in the winter and my feet usually get cold before my hands. Unless you submerse your gloves in the water, then its all over. Im sure if you want to spend the money there are way better options out there.

Have always worn wool up until a couple years ago, found some polar fleece ones at Sportsmans on sale for like 10 bucks...hands never get cold.

How much are they and what store could I find them at [

The Simms and Orvis are going to be pricey. Might wanna check Sportsmans like Remo suggested.
Polar fleece is also a wind blocker.

Ya I shall check out sportsmans whenever I'm down there again.

Glomitts .. Cabelas Mt50 glomitts work great in the cold and gives you ease to tie your flies on your line.

I use the Simms gove/mitt type that have the strap to tuck your finger flap and thumb flap into to hold them out of the way. Best money I ever spent.

lThis time of year I use a Seal Skin glove on my right hand to hold the rod. This glove is not water proof. But very flexible with grippers. Does a good job keeping my hand warm. On my left hand I use a Glacier glove which is waterproof. I pick up the fish with my left hand when needed. I use this combination all day and stay warm and dry and have no problems dealing with my rod or line. Hope this helps.

I have a pair of Cabela's Guidewear Wind Stopper gloves that work well.
If it is really cold where I want to keep my hands completely dry I wear a combination of gloves. A thin pair of latex gloves next to the skin. A middle glove of fleece and an outer covering of rubber dishwashing gloves. They do come in black instead of pink. The inner latex gloves are just enough protection for tying on flies and helps the fleece to slide on and off.

Where can you find black rubber cloves because walmart is pretty sexist with thinking men cant do dishes xD. Might just buy some fleece gloves from work and cut the tips off if that might work.

The best gloves are made by Kast gear but are pricey, but you can put your hand under water and it wont get wet and still able to tie on flies with the gloves on, I think they run around 75 bucks.

I like the Glacier Glove myself. Keeps my hands warm ALMOST all of the time.
These are the ones I mainly use, even in the summer:

The finger slits aren't great - I still remove them when I tie on a new fly. I use these in the winter as well, but when water comes in through the finger slits and it's getting dark, it gets cold. They usually stay warm enough though during the day time.
I used to have a pair without finger slits and they were awesome in the winter. Not a lot of dexteritiy for changing flies or anything, but I always liked them. Kept me bone dry. Put on a pair of cotton gloves underneath and they were toasty.

Nice !!! I just looked at Simms website looks like they got a Freestone Foldover Glove basically a glomitt for 25 bucks ... I may have to give them a try.

I have a pair of Glaciers lying around. They didn't work for me. If I find them, they are up for grab.

Thanks everyone for commenting. I really appreciated it but I end up with remo idea and luckily I went to sports man warehouse and checked the discount rack and found a nice pair of fleece glove with the foldable mittens type for only $10. Really wished they had a medium but can complain if it's a little too big for that kind of price.
