Blue-winged Olives
Baetis

Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

I'm looking for cheaper fly fishing gloves (preferably fold over mitts) for under $60. This are gloves that are meant for -10 temps not 30 degrees. I'm looking for some high quality and warm mitts. Would be of big help to share your ideas below, thanks.

I have a pair of these gloves. I like them. When it is really cold I keep a hand warmer in my outer wader pocket and when my fingers get really cold I take the gloves off for a few minutes and warm them up.

Sweet gloves! They look like they excellent for gripping but are they warm enough?

Adirman,

They look like they excellent for gripping but are they warm enough?

To tell you the truth it has been so long since I have worn them in cold weather that I just don't remember if they kept me warm enough or not. I'll put them on one cold day and see if they keep my hands warm and report back to you.
