Kevin- Nice one, now I have next weekends activity for the kidlet and I.

Super nice rig Gearnut. Mind sharing some interior and motor shots?

What areas or resort will you be fishing out of? You might want to check out the thread I have about our Baja trip. It wasn't epic, as it was winter, but I got on fish and had an outstanding time. Most of the flies I posted were tied by a pal that used to guide down there with Jay Murakoshi...

Who doesn't like casting big flies to large, powerful fish?
