I'm with you! I flyfish. I own the Fishmobile (aka the Bike Bus) - the drift boats don't go anywhere without me ! I wear women's size 6 shoes. I have a garage full of wading boats that I slopped around in for years until a few companies (LLBean, Orvis and Simms) got their act together. I participated in a clothing focus group with Simms a few years ago. The 3 women in the room nailed the company president and I have to say he took it nicely. They make a very wide variety of women's wader sizes now -- only had to have the feet custom fit for once rather than the whole darn wader. Patagucci keeps touting their "women's" line for fishing (and I haven't checked their line this year), but it really is just men's stuff and not sized small enough. The few clothing items they do make for women and fishing are pastel colors. Yuck!! Now, my problem is I can't find good flats booties in my size and the SIL/BIL moved to Florida (free housing). I can hear those redfish calling my name!
