SUGGESTED GEAR LIST We understand that many anglers prefer to fish with their own gear. Here are some suggestions and recommendations on what to bring.
RODS
We recommend medium fast to fast action rods. Patagonia is known for being windy so good to be prepared with a rod that can deliver all sizes of flies on target. If you only bring one all-around trout rod we suggest a 9’ 6-weight 4-piece travel rod. A 5-weight is a good choice for dry fly fishing, and a 7-weight for larger streamers.
REELS
Large arbor reels are best for quick retrieve and less line memory. 75 to 100 yards of 20lb backing.
LINES
Fly lines can get complicated if you let them, so keep it simple. WF floating line for dries and most nymphs. Fast sinking sinktip 12’ to 15’ sinking head. We have a good selection of specialty lines in all appropriate weights.
LEADERS/TIPPET
Your guides will have all the leaders and tippets you need. Stiff butt sections are important to turn over large dries and streamers. 1X – 4X for dries and nymphs. 0X – 3X for streamers.
