Anyone have any recommendations on gloves for use while collecting? Dragging a seine in 40 degree water doesn't sound pleasing to me. I think with some waterproof gloves I will be ok. Of course I have the waders and boots I use for trout fishing in mountain streams so I'm good there. And I have my waterproof jacket as well.

We use these fly fishing:

I'd like to get some that are all neoprene, though.

I love dive gloves for this. I end up frustrated with neoprene and take them off, ultimately ending up with cold hands and gloves, and I've yet to see the use for fingerless when seining when I could have the same warmth from the dive gloves. If you do put your hand in the water, you can just squeeze your hand and wring out the water.
So maintaining a moist temperature in the dive gloves is ultimately warmer than any other application.
Let's put it this way... The seine is frozen stick straight before my hands get cold.

You can get them at any dive shop, will cost $20 or less. You're looking for a warm water glove with a leather or synthetic grip.
You can hunt online too, but I did a quick search at leisurepro and I'm still in the dark about what you're buying. Most everything you'll run into will be neoprene, and that's useless as far as I'm concerned.
Honestly, a pair of nylon work gloves (like the mechanic kind) are the same thing. Might even be better because you can squeeze the water out of the nylon better.
I just have leather grips for a little more padding when I'm hanging from a rock trying to film a high discharge species of darter.

Doesn't the wetness make your hands cold? This is confusing to me, I was taught warm = dry and wet=cold so wouldnt wet gloves be the same or worse than no gloves?

No Gloves = Cold. (Or wet, and now cold neoprene gloves going back on your hand = cold)
That's what happens when I have on neoprene gloves. I get so frustrated because I can't use my fingers that I take them off and they get cold and then there's no warming them back up.
I'm cost averaging my heat, so to speak, with more functional fingers in the meantime. There's a lesser change in temp to deal with. With the infrequency of full immersion when it's cold like that, I find that I'm better off this way. As I said... The seine will be frozen solid before my hands are cold

We'll be out in 4 feet of snow barefoot walking 5 miles up hill both ways to and from the streams, where we'll then catch fish with our bare hands. Then we can enjoy the beercicles.Wus
We'll be out so long as the streams are not frozen over. Right, Tom? We'll have our beer afterwards!
Yeah, I'll be out any day I can. Thats why I want to find some sort of glove to keep my hands from becoming frost bitten.

So... something like this?

I'd love to find a glove that stays warm when wet that doesn't have fingertips (so I can use it fly fishing as well).

nativeplanter, maybe these from simms : http://www.flyfishus...mms-gloves.html
The "Polartec® Thermal Pro Half-finger Fleece Gloves specifically.
I used cheap $3 ones from Wal-Mart and they've already fallen apart. They are made for single use it appears.

I was a BPS last night and bought these:

Since I have a fly fishing trip in north Georgia this Saturday. They were nice and toasty in the store. We'll see how long the neoprene holds up. They only cost $13, so when (not if) I lose them, it won't be too bad. The thumb and index finger have a slit that folds and velcroes the tip back. What I really wanted were these:

But they didn't have any in my size. They would have only been $10.
