Inside Simms

The Fly Fishing Shop in Oregon recently toured the Simms Factory to see how Simms Waders are made, Check it out.  Amazing how many people it takes to make one pair of waders.  I'm a big Simms fan and they are worth every penny.

What's ahead

Quiet, peaceful Salmon River in the summer.

Big Water Swinging

                    Nothing beats swinging from a boat during high water.

Swinging flies from a boat is a great way to fish high water, Why??
You can position yourself to work water effectively. 
Greater line control.
Set yourself up for a great hang down.
Greater casting distance since your standing higher off the water.
