Spot on! Yeah, flies definitely not needed. Maybe a few prince nymphs and such if you want to fish for grayling or lennok during lunch. 6 weight with floating line for that. 8 and/or 9weight with 280-300 grain sinking line for the streamers and a floating line in case you want to try skating mice in the sloughs for pike.
Thank You for taking the time to share this information. I do many Cali backpack fish/hunt adventures but so far have not attempted anything as exotic or out of country as you. Good for leading by example. This looked like a tremendous adventure in a beautiful land with beautiful people.
What brand / model are the awesome technical base layers with reflective and moisture-wicking properties? I hope you get brand deals soon, I already want to spend money because of you 😂
Ha! They are Columbia. DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE. Check on Steep and Cheap and the on-line outlets. If you are in the Bay Area there's a Mountain Hardware (Columbia owns Mountain Hardware, Sorel, and Prana) Employee Store in Richmond that you can get in to if you are a AAA member or know someone or are active military--fantastic discounts (I'm talking 50% to 80% sometimes). I wear those pants almost every time I fish either under waders or even quick drying pants when I wet wade for a bit of warmth and protection. They are great.
@@abushinthewoods Thank you for all the money-saving tips!! I have Columbia's omniheat vest (ha!) and jacket, so I was def wondering if it was the same tech on a lighter layer.
@@Christinchong Oh, you're a vest person. So weird (my spouse and oldest child are both huge vesties--I just don't get it). The head of material research at Mountain Hardware is a friend of mine, so I heard all about that omniheat stuff (I call them my disco pants/shirt since they look like disco balls). It's a wonderful material, but oh boy is it expensive!
