I have a pair of neoprene gloves with slits cut at the base of the index
finger, ring finger and thumb. I wear them as regular gloves when
fishing and stick my fingers out when tying knots. The slits will let
water in, but it allows my to tye knots. The extra neoprene fingers
occasionally get in the way, but its not too bad. I've seen neoprene
fishing gloves that are pre-built like this, with velcro on the back of
the fingers and back of the hand, so when you have your fingers out of
the glove, they can be stuck back out of the way.

fingerless polarfleece also works, (still provides warmth when wet).

The real fun is when you start worrying on how to keep your guides from
icing up. Usually a plunge into the river melts the ice.
