cold weather boots?

Might be a little overkill, but I like my 2000 gram Irish Setters. Snow Claws I think they are. I wear them ice fishing too and feet never get cold.

muck woody max are what I have and have not had a cold foot in the past 5 years owning them. Use for sitting in deer stand, shoveling, ice fishing and walking late season grouse hunting! A good sock goes a long ways also

Just ordered the Cabelas 'Inferno' 2000 g boots. Should arrive any day. Plan to hunt next weekend in Wisco with them. I will report back

Hey Ozzie,

What are you wearing for socks, and what size boots are you wearing? I am in need of a new pair of rubber boots next fall and was looking at the Muck Woody Max. I was told to get one size bigger than what you wear to give your feet room to breathe??

I have a pair of lighter weight boots. Easy for walking, and not overly warm when walking. They are slightly larger, and I stick a heat pack in the nose of the boot. Keeps the toes warm while not overheating the rest of the foot. Works for me anyway.

I bought the inferno' s at cabelas a couple years ago. I really like them. They worked great this last week in frigid temps. My feet always get cold. I really like that they are warm, but are still very comfortable to walk on. Good combination of a pack boot with good ankle support like a hiker. Much needed for hiking up, down, and along the bluffs.

Ive test out my new Muck arctic pro, i think they preformed pretty well, I had a pair of smart wool sock of heavy weight on, the boots are a sizebigger than usual to accomidate thicker socks. my toes did get chilled from sitting along time but my circulation has never been good and have froze myself alot over the years and am at that point of getting older, still an awsome boot tho.

      I must be real lucky, caught another healthy one, 30"  in the shallows tonight less than 6 FOW.

      Dude, I already trolled that spot, nothing but slimmers!  😄 Glad I saved money by stopping smoking a while ago. It's free most of the summer now! Been calm and yellow out for days! 🤧

      Bet you would enjoy a nice paddle down the Cahulawassee River, too then. 😏

      Talked to my neighbor is getting ready for a trip via fall lake.    They use small boats with like 10 to 25 hp outboards and portage wheels.   There are two portages to get into pipestone bay, with the second one being over a hill.   From pipestone they can go around to Jackfish? bay,   There is a big sign to warn about where the no motors area is.

      Seems like a long way to climb, to sight in a gun! 😐

      On the South End... The walleye and sauger bite continues to be very good with anglers enjoying consistent action.  As we transition into fall, fish are being found at various depths, but 25 - 32 feet of water has been consistent. Jigging continues to pick up as the waters cool.  Water temps this week are down to 64.  Top jig colors this week include gold, orange, chartreuse, and pink.  For some anglers, big numbers caught this week jigging with frozen emerald shiners on the lake.   Some anglers are jigging on or adjacent to structure.  Others are finding schools of walleyes and saugers out over deep mud.  Using sonar to find fish is helpful.     Spinners and trolling crankbaits continue to produce fish as well.  This is a transition time where multiple presentations are working.  As the season progresses, jigging will take over as the top technique.     For those pulling spinners, gold, pink, orange, glow red, or glow white has been successful. Adjust your weights to 2 - 3 ounces to match the depth and speed you are drifting / trolling. Trolling crankbaits is still producing nice walleyes.  Some goto colors are gold, chrome / blue, pink UV firetiger, and chartreuse.     More and more walleyes are showing up along the south shore.  It seems things are gravitating towards fall patterns where good numbers of the fish are both chasing shiners and moving closer to shorelines.  The bite has been excellent and is really shaping up nicely for the fall jig bite both on the lake and in the Rainy River. On the Rainy River... A variety of species continue to be caught on the Rainy River.  Nice current flow is providing fall anglers some optimism for this year's fall shiner and walleye run being a banner year.  Some reports of nice walleyes being caught in the river already this week.   There are reports of shiners in the river all the way up to Birchdale.  Things seem to be setting up nice for a great fall on the river.  Mother Nature will have the final say of course. Sturgeon fishing is picking up with cooling waters.  Anglers anchor up and use a combination of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig with a flat no roll sinker.     Find a hole in the river or simply mark these big fish in an area, anchor up and soak some crawlers! Up at the NW Angle... Walleye fishing up at the NW Angle remains really good. Fish are being found in many areas.  Structure, neck down areas as well as on the flats.   Some good fish are still holding in the deep mud east and northeast of Little Oak Island in the mud.  Areas around Four Blocks, and north of Garden Island producing fish as well.    As on the south end, jigging, spinners / crawlers and trolling crankbaits are all producing walleyes.   Smallmouth bass, pike and muskies are also being caught, both by unsuspecting walleye anglers and when targeted.  As the waters cool, crappies and jumbo perch are also showing up nicely for anglers.
