Dress Warmly for Winter Fishing

I enjoy trout fishing in the winter and here is how I dress to stay warm and dry.  I like a layering system.

My first shirt layer is a silk or poly undershirt, my second shirt layer is a merino-wool/nylon blend.  My top shirt is a 100 weight Polartec.  My jacket is Permaloft or down.  My rain coat is breathable/water proof style.

My long john pants are medium weight poly or merino-wool/nylon blend.  My slacks are 100 or 200 weight Polartec.

I like medium weight poly socks under medium weight wool socks.  I use Polartec Fingerless Gloves and put a chemical hand warmer in the back of each one.  My basic winter hat is medium weight Polartec with pull down ear flaps.  Occasionally I use a light weight Polartec balaclava and I really do like the light weight Polartec pull on neck protectors.

I use Simms G3 Wader with the above and this system keeps me warm through most of the winter.
