There’s no such thing as bad weather. Just Bad Equipment
CHOOSINGTHE RIGHT GEAR makes the difference in the outdoors between comfort and catastrophe - between a great day of fishing and a miserable one. For the angler, that begins with underwear and waders. They’re the first things you put on in the morning and are often what determines whether you’re going to be comfortable all day and enjoying yourself, or cold, wet, and miserable. In the fly fishing world, the top name in wading gear is Simms®. They’ve set the bar as our industry’s standard for reliability, breathability, durability, and comfort. In fact. most hard-core anglers wouldn’t be caught dead wearing anything else.
Now, after three decades as the first choice in waders for most serious fly fishermen and professional guides, Simms® is introducing an inexpensive wader built for the casual anglers, women that fish, and their kids! Simms Tributary Stockingfoot Chest Wader for Men, Women, & Kids
The Simms people believe these are as good as the best waders made – that aren’t wearing the Simms label. No, they’re not Gore-Tex®, but neither are anyone else’s. And they’re not made for the fanatic who is going to be on the water every day, for hundreds of days each season. The Simms Tributary is, however, a remarkably durable wader with a bundle of great features. More than that, the Simms Tributary is a great value and a very good, breathable wader that will keep the guy, girl, or the kid who doesn’t fish more than a few weeks a year, completely dry, comfortable, and having fun while they’re on or in the water enjoying or discovering fly fishing.

Get yourself the best damn felt soled wading boots you can afford and rig them with new studs. Second, get yourself a wading staff. And always wear a wading belt or wet wade. With the right boots and a wading staff, you should be able to clean up on the trout on the Pit and live to tell about it.
