Blue-winged Olives
Baetis

Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Does anyone know if anyone manufactures a women's waist-high waders? I've searched extensively on the web and can't find anyone who makes them. All I can find are women's chest-highs...and I hate those.

Don't know, but could you try on men's at a shop and find a size that fits?

Orvis has Women's Silver Sonic Convertibles. They are chest highs that convert to waist. May not work for you, but I like the men's version. AFAIK, the suspenders are still needed on the waist high.

If those don't work, Orvis and Simms have many sizing combos for waist, length and feet, and Simms will do a custom neoprene boot. When I tried the various Silver Sonics, there was a fair amount of variety, so you may get a decent fit with one of the men's sizes.
