That chair/ladder combo looks dope. Did you buy that or make it yourself?

Id love one for surf fishing the bay in Baja.

Been way too long since my last trip. (Even with the size of those fish, I find it hard to find the motivation to make the extra time to drive that far). Those fish are legendary.
Everything it’s advertised as...no bull.
What was the lightest rod you used?
Thank for the post.

What type flies do you use for 16# trout? Big streamers?

standard pyramid lake flies, ended up catching the big one on a black/red boobie fly behind a larger streamer.

Its well worth the drive especially if you can really spend a few quality days up there. I brought a 6 wt with floating line, 8 wt with a sink tip setup, and a 10wt with a full sink 500 grain line.

ended up using the 10wt the entire trip just because it got down fast and i could really cut into the wind on my casts.

the ladder/chairs were made by a buddy up there who lets us use them when we come to town. they would probably work great anywhere with a hard or sandy bottom, really lets you get up out of the water and you can cast a lot farther. I know the reno fly shop sells them for a few hundred bucks up there as well.
