Where were you in the spring, we had a heck of a time selling Deb's old waders!! Patagonia used to make a womens set (Deb's new waders). Check online there might be a few places that still have some - I remember that foot size was an issue, as we had to send one pair back (but they covered the return shipping)!
A girl in Canmore was selling a ladies set of simms waders on Kijiji http://alberta.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-sp...QAdIdZ282595397
Look at the Redington women's boots (now discontinued) we got Deb's for $60!! I think we got FTs last pair but Whole Sale might have some or look online! Size one size up from her street shoe!

Ok, so I add this thread since I don't see anything around on this topic. So from a beginner to other beginners DO IT! It honestly makes a huge impact on your fishing. If your fingers touch that fly it needs to be cleaned!!!
I carry a little baggie in my pocket with a handful of soil. I will drop my fly in the bag and pinch and roll the fly from the outside of the bag. It's best to use the soil around the lake/river bed as it should be the most neutral scent in that body of water. I wouldn't use the bed soil if it had the consistency of pudding though. It would be best to find something close on the shoreline. In my mind the abrasion in the soil helps the process.
I have to like your ingenuity...hey if it seems to work for ya, sounds like a great idea, cheers.

When throwing a two hook set up lets say bend to eye, have many of you used two dries at the same time? approx 18 inches apart or so? I have used the Stimmy to a copper john or something in the #16 range...

Both of those fish are nice, the whitey is a fat one for sure, the brown is a true specimen in health...congrats

Amen
I try to pick up at least a couple of pieces every time I leave the River. I am of the mindset leave it better than you found it.
Good on ya for collecting some losers trash when you are out, i do the same when i fish the Bow', try and pick up a piece or three before heading back to camp for disposal....It DOES slowly make a difference...
cheers

Good looking worm pattern, simple but effective...I have had decent luck with black ones as well tied the same way, sometimes with a floss red tail.. cheers,
