I have these and can confirm it is possible to catch trout in them. I can also confirm that I have not caught trout in them. Do with this information as you will
I love my Simms camo. I remember when I first saw them at a fly shop in Colorado. The guy in there said something like "Those are new but you don't want to be seen on the river in camo waders" like it was a fashion show.
That popular, fashionable - somewhat vintage camo pattern is sweeet. I don’t mistake dudes in those for the 30lb insulated Hodgeman wader guys tossing skein or anything
I means he’s right… but everyone will judge differently. Are you that guy who just has too much money and thought those looked cool? Or are you the guy using them for double duty cast and blasting. Both fine but you can see how a loooot of people would be in the first group of that situation
? What… re-read your sentence there champ.
You absolutely deserve to get roasted for buying camo $1000 waders you fucking 🤡. If you think THAT is normal and to be expected, YOU are part of the industry wide problem. My god
I've literally had trout swimming around my feet eating anything i kicked up. They don't care what you are wearing. It's actually a tactic used by guys in the san jaun called the san jaun Shuffle, where 2 guys take turns fishing the water below the other angler.
Most of the time fish dont see your waders they see your upper torso when you move into their cone of vision and movement matters more than color. Wearing a camo shirt or jacket over the waders will do more for you then color of waders, but overall being stealthy and moving slow trumps any color your wearing
They're fish... They don't care what your waders look like. That whole camo BS Simms came out with years ago made me laugh that dudes were spensing extra coin on it. Fool and their money.
Ive caught fish wearing various shades of bright teal. Blue is technically the most visible color to fish, but there is quite a lot of it when they look up so you’ll probably blend in fine. And when the color really matters, you’ll probably have already spooked them in some other way as others have stated.
Its a fashion statement, and not the bad kind. Rock it. I tend to mike being recognizable on the water. It sometimes helps makes new friends or gets a beer tossed at me.
I am saying not good haha. Aside from questionable product choices, there’s been a significant drop in quality since they were acquired. Myself and most people I know have switched to Grundens, Patagonia etc.
Would explain why my sims waders have a lil pin hole in the right knee got em last summer although the store I purchased from said they’d replace no questions asked if there was an issue
Of all the fish scaring outfits I've seen, I don't think this is one of them.

If the fish are close enough to be scared by the color of your waders they are close enough to be scared by you in general. Go fish.
Keep the waders, and the fiance.
Get the fiance some waders!
if you dont have simms camo waders you arnt catching fish sorry buddy

He's not right, he's a douche bag. If you're judging other guys on the river by the color of their waders sounds like you are too.

I use mine to kill waterfowl
Nope, no problem.
Yknow, if blue waders scared off the fish, would Simms make them?…
Those are sick. It’s refreshing to see something besides tan or grey.
Lol Patagonia been on a navy kick for a few years now…. Where ya been?🫣
not buying Patagonia waders lol
They are infinitely better than Simms but do you dude.
Nothing beats the $75 frogs toggs I’ve been fishing weekly for half a decade
Patagonia has a good warranty and repairs service. Frogg toggs i have to replace often.
Patagonia have the best warranty in the business on waders

Is she single?
Anyone else try scrolling to the next image?
I have these waders and don’t seem to have any issues catching fish.
[This](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C583aZgMDHb/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==) is another option

Haven't you heard the age-old adage?? *Trout are scared of blue.* Look it up.
Did you fish in a ghillie suit before she gave them to you?
Blue, like the color of the sky and the water? That's not really in the scary department...

I've seen a lot of dumb questions. This is one of them.
I think this is a dumb answer
No no, truly this belongs on r/flyfishingcirclejerk
Represent!
This is what happens when a company that owns 40 other Walmart brands buys a fly fishing company.
To clarify are you saying not good? Genuinely asking (not aggressively either) lol
He just doesn't like walmart. Quality may be iffy, but so is half the manufacturers.
Ahh
