Leland on the Simms Freestone Foldover Mitts


Some anglers have a strange relationship with reason. For those who are adamant about getting reasonable prices, but equally bent on fishing in unreasonable weather, Simms makes the Freestone Foldover Mitt. It's the answer for anglers seeking sensibly priced, super-warm mitts that enable them to stay at it, even in ridiculously cold weather. In fact, at this price, you can pick up two pair and keep spares in your wading jacket. This way, if you get lucky and have to get your first pair soaked, you'll have a toasty dry pair in reserve.



Leland on Specifications:

Hand protection like the Freestone Foldover Mitt is 100% essential in cold weather. The Freestone's elasticized straps keep foldover components safely clear of line, and don't lose this ability when they get wet (like some velcros can). Winter is when we remember that few sports demand the consistent dexterity that fly fishing does - it's finger-intensive, there's no doubt. And if winter fishing is characterized by short days and cold weather, it's also known for long odds and hot fish. For these reasons, you've got to be at the top of your game -- this next cast or drift could be the one that counts. No numb fingers, no longing for the woodstove at home - pick up the Windstopper Foldover Mitts and get out there.



Specifications:

  • 200 Series fleece is soft and warm
  • Fleece keeps insulative value even when wet
  • Simple elasticized strap keeps fold-down mitt and thumb cap out of the way
  • When wet, elastic strap works better than most velcros


Leland on Simms Fly Fishing Gloves:

BRRRRRRRRR! Salmonids live in cold enough water during the summer, but it’s the rest of the year that makes you confront the fact that you need to use your exposed fingers to cast and strip, even in December! Winter steelheaders may pride themselves on suffering, but you don’t have to. Just slip your hands into the cozy luxury of Simms Windstopper Foldover Mitts. Quick drying, lightweight, windproof fleece blocks the cold while casting. When you’re ready to move, a mitt and thumb cover fold over to give your hands complete protection. AHHHH! Simms Mitts and Half Finger Gloves have a great anatomical fit with less bulk between the fingers, durable palms, and extended cuffs for full wrist protection that can be tucked under a rain shell or insulated jacket. At only 4 ounces, with minimal volume, you’ll be glad you stuck a pair of Simms gloves into the back of your vest when that next cold snap rolls in. Oh, and don't forget the Sun Gloves for your next bonefishing adventure.

It’s funny how childhood memories can influence one's life! Just ask K.C. Walsh of Simms Fishing Products about the underlying theme of his company and its location. He'll tell you it was because his grandfather took him fly fishing in Bozeman, MT as a young man. Funny how what started as a desire by K.C. to work in the flyfishing industry, turned into the design of the world's best fishing waders. Funny how that vision of wader design transformed a company into one that now manufacturers what is considered by many to be the finest collection of fly fishing –outdoor wear in the entire industry.Funny? Not really. Just great concepts and a lot of hard work: Welcome to Simms Fishing Products! 

At Leland Fly Fishing Outfitters,we carry and use only the best fly fishing gear. There’s not enough time in our hurried world to worry about whether our chest waders or rain jackets are going to leak. We talk with K.C. quite frequently and love to listen about his passion for developing the most useful and highest quality fly fishing gear. We at Leland have toured the Simms factory, attended their numerous product seminars, and vigorously used and field tested their equipment and we can tell you flat out; K.C. is doing it right!

Simms on Simms Fishing 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”

Simms 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, driftboats, 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.”
