Great story!
A couple of recommendtions that will help.
1. 1 pair polypropaline and 1 pair of good wool socks
2. Polypropaline long underwear (They are the best thing out there for wicking moisture away from your body
3. polarfleece pants over the top of the long underwear
4. waders that fit correctly. I can stay warm in a 3 mil pair of neoprenes if they fit right. 5 mil is nice but only good for 1 season unless you like sauna rooms. When I say fit right I mean that they are plenty big to allow for lots of clothes under them without being tight. Especially in the foot area if using stockingfoot waders. If they are tight it restricts bloodflow. Tight fitting boots and tight fins do the same thing. Make sure your waders are completely dry inside from the last fishing adventure (I always dry out the inside first cause 3 day old sweat really is not pleasant). Also don't chance it with old or patched waders this time of year. Its just toooooo cold. My waders are too tight in the feet and so my toes always get cold. The rest of me does just fine. Just my 2 cents to help keep my cannon balls warm, dry, and rust free!
