Tips for Cold-Weather Fishing

The cold weather is officially here! We know there's a lot of dedicated fishers out there and this blog's for you! Fishing during the cold weather a great time - with the right preparations. As the best boat dealer at the Lake of the Ozarks, we know a little something about boats - fishing boats included. Here at Iguana Boat Sales, we want to keep all of our dedicated fishers safe and warm this fall and winter with these cold-weather fishing tips!


Layer, Layer, Layer

Layering is one of the best ways to stay warm while fishing. Each piece of clothing traps a layer of insulating air, which helps you stay warm. In addition, as the temperature or activity level changes, you can shed a layer at a time until you're comfy again.

Wear a Hat

Did you know that we lose a majority of our body heat through our heads? Wearing a hat, especially one that covers your ears, can make a huge difference in keeping you warm while out on the Lake. No matter what type you wear, whether it is a wool hat or a baseball cap, having something on your head will keep you toasty longer.

Make your Feet Cozy

Putting on a thick pair of wool socks sounds like a good idea when it's freezing out, however, make sure you're not squeezing your feet into too tight of boots. If you want to wear thick socks while out on your boat, consider going up a size or size and a half to encourage more circulation and trap more air in the layers of socks.

Keep your Fingers Toasty

Although gloves are a great way to keep your hands nice and warm, they tend to keep in the way when boating. While fishing, it is nearly impossible to tie on a lure or hook with big, bulky gloves. Luckily, there are all sorts of lightweight gloves on the market today that make these tasks so much easier.

Block The Wind

Windproof jackets and pants help keep the air from penetrating your layers. The more breathable the fabric, the better, as they let perspiration out, which keeps you warm and dry.

Now that you know how to better prepare for your next trip fishing at the Lake of the Ozarks, you're to plan your next excursion.
