Kit For Cold Mornings

Predator fishing often means moving between swims, so you want clothing that’s warm without leaving you sweating after a walk with the gear. Layers you can shed, a genuinely waterproof outer and a decent pair of boots for muddy banks and frosted grass. Gloves that let you handle a trace and a pair of forceps matter more here than anywhere, since fumbling with cold hands around a pike’s mouth is how accidents happen. A spare dry hat in the bag has saved many a session.
