Leland on the Simms Dry Creek Tech Pouch
Dude, a phone on the river!? Heaven forbid! Okay, your
wife is expecting, you’re supposed to be at work and your report is
late, and you need to complete that rare bamboo rod transaction on
EBay. Enough with the excuses. But if you are going to bring it, you
might as well protect it! The Simms Dry Creek™ Tech Pouch protects any
small electronic instrument or other valuables you might happen to need
or want around water, be it a cell phone, camera, or GPS. Simms Dry
Creek™ bags are known for their
toughness and
weatherproofing, so it
only stands to reason that the Tech Pouch, with its double seal closure
and electronically welded seams, would be the logical choice.
Waterproofing is a wonderful thing when it comes to electronics; Simms
Dry Creek™ Tech Pouch lets you carry them into the storm.
Leland on Specifications
We know it just ain’t right to have a phone on the
river, but at times we all have our reasons. For boaters and remote
users it really can be a safety issue. And you know, sometimes it is
hard to find your way back home. Although not designed for full
submersion, Dry Creek technology will protect your property against an
occasional dunking and the foulest of weather. So when weather
protection is needed for small electronics, be it the evil
cell phone
or important
GPS, protect it with the Simms Dry Creek™ Tech Pouch.
Weatherproofing is provided by the RF welded PVC fabric, as well as the
locking roll top double seal closure. The neck strap is adjustable and
the approximate total weight is only 5 ounces. With dimensions of 6.5”
x 11”, the Simms Dry Creek™ Tech Pouch will easily hold a larger
point-and-shoot digital or 35mm film camera.
Specifications:
- Fabric Tech: RF welded PVC fabric

Leland on Simms Dry Creek Bags and Luggage
Most of us have to do some traveling when we fly
fish, whether it’s a half hour run to a local river or a
once-in-a-lifetime journey to the other side of the world. Regardless,
you want to end up at your destination with the all of the gear that
you need, intact, to fish as you planned. It’s funny how a missing pair
of wading shoes can ruin your whole day..uh, whole week. Maybe they
don’t have your shoe size in Slovenia?
Simms Dry Creek Boat Bags, Wader Bags, and Duffels are
a unique set of lightweight, weatherproof, highly abrasion and tear
resistant luggage specifically designed to organize and protect your
equipment for all your fishing trips. The rugged 420 Denier, double
coated polyurethane nylon shell material is die cut and welded with
radio frequency to create bomb-proof waterproof seams and the bags seal
with laminated weatherproof zippers, so no worries in a rainy drift
boat or on a wet airport runway. The Simms Dry Creek Boat Bags and
Duffels are each available in three sizes to suit your individual
equipment needs, so that you’ll never leave a piece of gear behind
again.
Simms on Dry Creek Tech Pouch
“Waterproof pouch provides excellent storage for a cell phone, GPS or other valuable gear.”
Simms on Simms Vest, Packs and Dry Creek Packs
“We understand that every angler gets organized differently:
its part of the obsession that comes with fishing. We continue to offer
a range of vests to meet the unique and diverse preferences of
vest-lovers – from our ultra-tech G3 Guide™ Vest to our minimalist
Freestone® Mesh Vest. We’ve also freshened up our Dry Creek™ Series of
packs and bags with a strong new color.
Simms on Dry Creek Packs
“Our innovative Dry Creek™ series of packs and bags feature
a 420 Denier, double-coated polyurethane nylon shell for the ideal
combination of durability and lightweight performance. 420D is
extremely durable – highly abrasion and tear-resistant. The
polyurethane coat provides incredible UV protection. A 70 Denier,
single-coated polyurethane nylon interior coat minimizes weight where
durability and UV protection are less crucial.
The materials
used in our Dry Creek™ packs and bags are die cut, placed on the
welding machine, and then welded with radio frequency to create bomber
waterproof seams. We use laminated zippers, which are weather-tight and
corrosion-resistant with proper care.”
Simms 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 closey 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. The Choice of Professional Guides Worldwide”.
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, 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.”
