SALAD BAR SIMMS – G3 WADERS 17 years ago, as the youngest guide on the Ponoi, when a shipment of waders arrived from Simms, Keith RoseInnes of Alphonse Island Fishing Company got last pick. He says, “that meant I got a pair of waders two sizes too big so I look like the Michelin Man in them.” He has had that pair of Simms G3 waders for 17 years now and save for some minor running repairs from time to time they have served him extremely well from fishing for salmon in Russia to Taimen in Mongolia and everywhere else in between. The G3s have been tweaked and upgraded over the years and now come in camo, sport a removable flip‐ out Tippet Tender™ pocket with dual‐entry zippers and retractor docking station and feature the vital 4-layer GORE-TEX Pro Shell in the seat and legs and 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro Shell in the upper. Despite Simms trying multiple times to replace his original pair over the years, Rose-Innes is still loyal to his original G3s. The lesson? Buy quality because it lasts. www.simmsfishing.com, www.frontierflyfishing.co.za
