About Simms
Simms Fishing Products designs and manufactures premium waders and fly fishing gear in Bozeman, Montana, producing the waders trusted by professional guides and serious anglers in rivers across North America.
Heritage & History
Simms Fishing Products was founded in Bozeman, Montana in 1980, in the heart of some of the finest trout water in the world. The Gallatin Valley location was not coincidental — the company was founded by anglers for anglers, with access to the testing environment of world-class Montana rivers just outside the factory door. This proximity to serious fishing shaped every product decision Simms made.
The company built its reputation with professional fishing guides who subjected gear to extraordinary abuse — full fishing days every day of the season, in cold water, in remote locations where failure is not an option. Guide endorsement became Simms's most valuable marketing asset, because guides don't care about branding, they care about what keeps them dry and working. Earning guide trust required making gear that genuinely outperformed alternatives.
Made in Bozeman, Montana
Simms manufactures its flagship waders and key fishing gear at their Bozeman, Montana facility, where proximity to Montana's legendary rivers provides ongoing real-world testing opportunities. The Gore-Tex waders that Simms produces domestically represent the highest level of the product line — technical garments built to withstand the conditions that serious anglers regularly encounter.
The Montana manufacturing base gives Simms both a quality and a credibility advantage with its core customer. When a guide on the Madison River recommends Simms waders, that recommendation carries the weight of someone who has tested the product in the same conditions where customers will use it. American manufacturing allows Simms to maintain the quality control that guide-level use demands.
