of year here in the north is always wet and still over a foot of snow so I was wondering if any one has ever tried the neoprene fishing waders to keep your self dry

Never tried the fishing waders - seems like it would make me sweat way too much (since I'm not standing in cold water to cool things off).  I down own a pair of Muck Arctic boots which are probably about 16" tall. Keeps me warm and dry (not much in the way of foot protection, however).

One of the most popular style of boots in my area is an oversized rubber boot with a full height liner in it and a material top with a drawstring. People start wearing them as soon as it gets cold and wear them until the snow and runoff is gone. As waterproof and tall as the average rubber boot but good to 40 below. This is all I have worn in the last 25 years. Great in the winter if you end up in slush on a lake.

I was thinking chest high so pants did not get wet  I thought about it being to hot but may be with a thin pair of something it may work im going to try it wish me luck :D :D

Try those leg things skiers wear. They are held up with some elastic type thing. And it's like wind breaker material. Just around ankles from foot to knee high.

They are called Gaiters.
