As for winter 40 deg and below I have a pair of breathable waders with neoprene booties, and wear wading boots. I layer with fleece under that. I can layer comfortably until the temps get down into the low to mid 20's, and I just won't go out when it hits the teens, but fourtanately we don't see many of those days.

The 1st year I bought a pair of neoprene waders and even in the low 30's you start to sweat after paddling for a few minutes, and like bfish said once you stop, it gets really cold.
+1 for everything Jeremy said...except that I love the days when the high is in the teens. I would also add a balaclava to keep your head covered/warm. You lose a lot of body heat thru your head. I also like to keep the head opening of my shirt covered with either a balaclava or by using a thick headband around my neck.
