I have a W20 and have also dealt w/ all of the aforementioned problems.

I’ve never gone after walleye on the fly personally, but I guide I know back home (WI) swears by simple rabbit-strip leech patterns.  He would probably know since he holds the line class WR for the species.  I don’t know about MI, but wild leeches in WI tend to be brownish, so I would recommend a grizzly-tan colored leech pattern.  I would definitely go w/ a pretty heavy sink-tip line.  Let it get down in the water and slowly strip it in.  They are almost always light biters so you’ll have to keep the line slack free to feel the take.  Good luck.

If you call Simms, they are more than happy to explain the process to you.

i don’t have much to compare them to other than old hodgemen neoprene and leaky orvis bootfoots, but my simms “classic guide” waders have been through more gorge-type river rock sliding (both intentional and not), rododhendron whacking, casual wear & tear than a pair of waders should ever be subjected to in a short amount of time.
