From what I can tell the Simms G-3's are a good bet. The price tag at $425 seems expensive, but I figure if I can wear them for a number of years the initial expense will be well worth it. I think I'm going to match these waders with the Simms guide boot. With this pair, I should be set. I can't wait to get out on the water this weekend and try them out.

I'm a little embarassed to say this but I have never caught a steelhead despite many attempts this season. I hope that my trip with Bob this weekend will change all of that.

I appreciate all of your feedback and recommendations. I'll let you know how the weekend turns out and my impressions of the Simms.
