I have gloves which are great for sitting in the bivvy in the depths of winter, but they are too cumbersome for playing fish or casting.
Any suggestions for gloves suitable for playing fish or casting.
Would obviously have a casting glove on right hand when spodding or markering with braid.
T.I.A.

Merino liner?
I have a pair I bought from decathlon as I have vibration white finger and it really hurts in the winter.
They make it bearable

Good suggestion. I have ordered some from EDZ, I've had stuff from them before. Top quality, not the cheapest, but worth the money.

Like you say gloves are cumbersome and for playing fish you loose all the feel. I would invest more in pocket hand warmers.
I use a centre pin reel in winter for long trotting and all the holding back, touch control - gloves would just be impossible to do.

One of my other passions used to be golf, although hardly play these days.
But, I do actually use some all-weather gloves I bought for golf, especially when using braid or spombing etc. They come as a set of left and right gloves (usually you only have one glove for golf) as they're intended to give you more grip with your clubs are wet in the rain. You will loose a bit of feel - but to be fair, if your hands are that cold you'll loose it anyway. They won't keep your hands warm, but will take the edge off whilst using the rod etc, and when you're done you can take them off and put some warm gloves on.
I cant find the exact ones I have but there are loads available - just look for wet weather synthetic golf gloves that come as a pair - stick with a decent brand like Footjoy, Callaway, etc.
I would suggest though perhaps going to a decent golf shop as they need to be a snug fit so you'll need to try on a few sizes - not so tight they stop the circulation, but definitely not baggy either.

I've got bad circulation in my hands due to many broken fingers (joys of being a wicket keeper!) and use these. Never had a problem with them
