Since I know how to get back on my kayak if I get dumped, I don't plan on swimming around for an hour or two figuring out what to do. The hardest thing to keep warm are my hands. Not many gloves that keep your hands warm and are flexible enough for fishing. If you are fishing in any type of marginal conditions, better be wearing that PFD.

We stop fishing when the rod guides ice up, so we do a fair bit of dressing for the conditions.
Thanks, that is an excellent website. I am saving the link for ideas when I make my kayak fishing trip to Canada.

Thanks. I recommend coming during the salmon season, they are pretty predictable. You may not feel the need to continue on to Canada, which also has a great deal of untapped kayak fishing.

Spending an unplanned night bobbing around like a cork with board shorts and a windbreaker sounds like a possible death sentence.
If that's in the plan, get the drysuit. And a flare gun, personal location device, radio and flashing light. Also, tell somebody where you are going and when you will be expected back.
