Getting pretty excited. Packing up to start heading down to Baja on Wednesday. What was originally planned as a quick fly in and out of Loreto has morphed into a 2 1/2 week meandering road trip with 5 days trying for striped marlin on the fly. Packing an 14wt, two 12 wts, two 10 wts. Three...

Thanks all for the input! Being about 2 weeks out from leaving for a trip that includes 5 days fishing in the ocean, I went ahead and got one. Five days of dramamine is pretty ugh. Will let you all know if it works for me.

Seems like a bad idea to have a "public' private forum. Hard not to be divisive in some way - people can see they are excluded. Just have a public forum, and posters can be a little vague on details. Specifics can be via DM. Works for ifish. Besides, isn't there already a private forum for...

I get seasick on any sort of rolling water. Dramamine works pretty well for me but makes me feel kind of drowsy and just not great. Bonine doesn't work for me. Thinking about giving Reliefband a try. But the cost is holding me back - $200+ is a lot to spend if it doesn't work. Anyone have...

Really enjoyed your post. Made me miss my grandpa. Thank you!

5 1/2 drive from Portland. Great long weekend trip.

Thanks for the report, pig of a brown! Thinking about fishing that gem of a lake on Friday.

Selling my backup waders for $200 plus shipping. Bought these about 3 years ago as a back up pair, have never been used. Foot size is 9-11. These now retail for $380. Found a pair of G3s at a local resale store, and don't need a second set of backup waders.

Anyone have a good quality small or medium women's waders they'd like to sell? My wife's waders have reached the end of the road. Thanks!

Not sure if either of these will work, but you're welcome to them if you want to give them a try. Pretty sure the first one is from an old blue fishcat 4.

Plus now we know how much that fish weighs. Up in BC everybody talks about the size of trout in pounds, so now I have at least one point of data to use to convert the measurements if I'm ever fishing up in BC again.

Googled converting rod holders to fly rod holders. These might work for the rocket launchers: https://www.amazon.com/Fishing-Holder-Insert-Protector-Slotted/dp/B09XHKQ7DY https://www.amazon.com/SEADEAR-Protectors-Protector-Accessories-Diameter/dp/B0B5HCMQX5?th=1 Might work for the troll...

Have been in pangas down in Mexico that have fly rod holders similar to this...

It would be nice to be able to easily switch between 2-3 rods while on a trip. I could see using a rod with a Leviathan line for trolling, switching to a rod with an intermediate sink tip for bait stops, and if the tuna are really aggressive, switching to a rod with a floating line at a bait...

There is a gummy minnow fly. I think it's from Umaqua. Not sure about floating though. And I guess at that point you might as well just stick a dead anchovy on the end of your fly line...

That is great info. Now I need to remember to re- read this before going out again next year. And work on getting practice casting a 12 wt in a small boat with people everywhere :). One of the best parts of my trip this year was watching Nick get a couple of visible eats! It's awesome seeing a...

I think @PhilR was looking for another trip.

Oh, and if you do get blown to Guaymas at least you'll have some good yellowtail fishing there :).

I was sure our third guy was going to flake, but he did send in the deposit money after a few reminders. But I'll check again. It seems like a fourth person should be possible also, will check on that.
