I did a little wilderness brookie expedition a few weeks ago one one of those really cold February days. Well it was 16 degrees and my hands got wet. My fingers i realized had zero feeling. They were yellow with slight a purple tinge. A minor case of frost bite. Lemme tell you something when they begin to thaw again, the pain is extremely strong.
Anyways it was not as severe like the pictures on the discovery channel, but i decided im not letting that happen again. I bought a pair of neoprene gloves at LLBean for 20 bucks.
They are well worth it, although you have to take them off to tie on flies. My pair comes up the wrist about 6 inches so I can reach into the water to pick up a fish or pull a fly out from under a rock. They are great! I would definitely recommend a pair.
