Getting Ready for Steelhead?

I know it seems a little early to think about it but Steelhead season is coming fast. In the last week or so I've been thinking more and more about the upcoming Fall and Steelheading.
For those of you who are going for the first time, or just replacing worn out stuff, here's a selection of stuff (inside to out) that I've found to be absolutely bulletproof for the conditions of Fall Steelheading.

Simms ExStream Socks-Haven't ever found anything warmer.

Rivertek Midweight Bottoms - Comfortable, warm, easy to wash.
Simms Guide Fleece Pant - Wear a pair. We won't need to say more. Great for cool days here too! Simms Rivertek Top-Just like the bottoms, really warm, breathe great, can was them in the sink. Guide Fleece Top-Great breathability so you stay comfortable, even when it warms up in the afternoon. Simms guide Windstopper Jacket-The perfect layer before your Storm Jacket. And the look really good! Simms G4 Pro Jacket-If there's a better fishing storm jacket out there, we don't know about it.Simms G4Z Wader-Been using this wader for 4 seasons now (flawless). After the morning 4 cups of coffee the zipper rocks! Means you don't have to strip off your top layers. Awfully nice when it's raining or snowing. Simms G3 Guide Wader-If you want to save the expense of the zippered wader the G3 is for you. Basically, in the wader market, there's the G3, and there's everybody else who wishes they could be the G3.Simms G4 Boot- Very stable, very comfortable, very warm!Hardbite Boot Studs-A must on the Bulkley, Babine, Kispiox, you get the point! And you can take 'em out in minutes so your buddy with the drift boat doesn't kill you!
Like always, the stuff we recommend is the stuff we use. All of these items have been tried, and proved to be excellent, in the field.

Have fun, stay warm, get yanked!
