on Simms Products:
"Why
do professional guides choose Simms? Because we take pride in what we make, and
products have been designed to go the distance. Our in-house design team has a
combined 50 years of experience in making durable technical outerwear. We work
closely with top material suppliers from around the globe, and continually test
both our new and old products in the lab and out in the field to make sure we
meet or exceed your expectations.
Nothing pleases us more than to see our products, like those on the guides
featured in out catalog and on our website, go the distance.”
“The thrill of discovering a pristine stream after a long hike into the
backcountry, the exhilarations of being on the flats on one of those incredibly
clear days, the rush of a crisp morning on a British Columbia river when the
steelies are running, these are the memories that keep us tying through the
dark winter months, and always find us plotting our next angling season or
weekend.
At Simms, we never forget that the goal of every committed angler is to stay on
the water as long and has often as possible-regardless of the weather. That’s
why we never stop looking for new ways to keep you dry and comfortable. Whether
you’re waist deep in a drizzling snow on the Missouri or scouting the Keys in
the sweltering heat of a June afternoon.
For 2007, we’re delighted to present the new zippered G4 Guide wader, the most
technical wader we’ve ever created. We’re also proud to introduce the two most
competitive waders under two hundred dollars, the first GORE-TEX wader for kids
and a full arsenal of new clothing.
So for all those who will be out there earlier, longer and later, we’ve got
just one thing to say: Your Gear is Ready”

on Conservation:
“IF
YOU COULD PASS JUST ONE THING DOWN TO YOUR KIDS, WHAT WOULD IT BE?”
“Fishing is dependent on clean water, healthy ecosystems and just as important,
people who care about conservation and resource preservation. It is the
responsibility of everyone who enjoys angling to help protect and enhance our
fresh and saltwater fisheries. After all, what greater inheritance would we
leave future generations?
Supporting local, regional, and national conservation organizations is
certainly an important role that angles can play in caring for our fishing
resources. However, one area of vital concern, and one that all anglers can
easily help do something about, is the spread of aquatic invasive species.
These “hitchhikers”, including New Zealand mud snails, Didymo and whirling
disease are having an enormous effect on rivers across the United States and
are directly linked to reduced trout populations. Unfortunately, anglers are
part of the problem, given that invasive species are spread by “hitchhiking” on
waders, wading boots, drift boats, trailers and other gear.
YOU CAN HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF INVASIVE SPECIES IN THREE EASY STEPS:
1) Thoroughly rinse all fishing gear -including waders, boots, boats, and boat
trailers- in clean freshwater upon leaving a water source. Never travel from
one river to another without clean gear.
2) Air-dry gear before moving to another body of water.
3) Tell other anglers about this problem and what they can do to help.”
