After a long period away from fishing I am planning to return very soon. No not having fished in winter time I am looking for tips with regards keeping warm. Something I though off was a hot water bottle? Does anyone else do this? or am I going to look like a complete sissy :)

 

Also I dont have a winter skin for my Bivvy. Will this cause huge issues?

There's something on the market that is supposed to help aching backs, a sort of large hot poultice thing you stick on. I don't know how much they cost but it sounds to me like a good alternative to the hot water bottle.

Make sure u get some thermols they do wonders! Loads of hot drinks too and dont be affraid to jump into ur sleeping bag for a bit to keep warm!

 

i dont use a ground sheet but a few ppl i go with do and they seem to be warmer then me so i think i will start using a ground sheet as well! have fun, but the weather is startin to turn a bti now so it shudnt be as cold! u missed all the really cold weather well down here in the south any ways!

If you want to batten down the hatches, close the doors etc, then a winter skin helps. I prefer the opposite and fish under a brolley all year round. if you have the right bag (plus a waterproof bedchair cover) then you'll be warm as toast whatever the weather.

A top-notch sleeping bag is well worth the money. I'd also thoroughly recommend getting a pair of these, complete with the top. For less than £25, you can't go wrong. I've had mine for ages and wear them a lot, both for fishing and for dog walking.

 

The Peacock Hand Warmer is also a nice luxury to have on you when it's really cold :)
