With a bit of help from the microscope, this specimen keys clearly and unsurprisingly to Hydropsyche.

Hey everybody. Simple question—-Simms G3 or Patagonia Swiftcurrent? Need some waders that I can use all year long—-hot and cold weather. Durable and breathable. I am a Simms guy, but am looking at the Patagonia’s. Any opinions or experience would be GREAT! Thanks...

You might want to take a look at the Orvis Pro waders. They've been reviewed favorably, and I'm liking mine over my Simms waders. They are extremely durable, made of Cordura, and they come off a lot easier than Simms at the end of the day. I fished some on my knees this summer in low clear conditions, and they have built in knee pads (removable). I've heard good things about Patagonia, but haven't tried them.
