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.

My friend does that sort of trip to Baja a couple times a year, and tries to keep it in balance between reasonable cost and quality fishing, and arranges it all on his own. I'll check in with him on recommendations for guides and spots and DM you back. A few other thoughts - the biggest...

Second Wetswinger's advice, you will want to strip in most fish, instead of putting them on the reel - gives you way better control over most fish. The big fish will tell you when you need to use the reel. Okuma SLV is a solid reel for under $60. That's all I used for years on my 5wts. Never...

I'm in. Sounds like fun!
