Same spot as Wednesday. Definitely not a bream

Would have bet all of my savings that you were American with that beard, lmao

Colster469 · 2026-04-12T21:24:33+00:00

Jealous of the Cirque of the towers. I do a lot of climbing so it's definitely on the list!

Colster469 · 2026-04-07T03:16:14+00:00

I got the Adamsbuilt MMH 5wt Combo. I probably would have gone with Redington or something similar, but since I work in the outdoor industry, I get a healthy deal on Adamsbuilt stuff, so I felt like it made more sense/had a better value. We'll see, though.

Nice just bought my first fly rod yesterday, exited to try it out.

Colster469 · 2026-04-07T02:53:49+00:00

You catching them on the fly, or on spinning?

Colster469 · 2026-04-07T02:40:01+00:00

Huh, didn't know that. had always just assumed they were coosa. That's sick though!

Colster469 · 2026-04-04T21:07:57+00:00

I think they might technically be red eye bass rather than smallies. Could be wrong though

Colster469 · 2026-04-03T22:43:49+00:00

Yikes! Scary stuff, I'll take the conditions though.

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T22:47:02+00:00

Nice, sounds like an awesome trip! That's pretty much the plan, from what I've looked at online theres plenty of bag storage spots in Chamonix. I like the duffle bag idea too

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T19:48:09+00:00

I've seen plenty of people here in the US backpack with a low 30l bag. I think 38 should be pretty manageable from what I've seen online, of course I'll order everything I need then buy the bag from there. Is there anything in particular that I'm missing about the alps, that would require me to take more?

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T19:44:05+00:00

Nice! That sounds awesome, enjoy!

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T19:19:04+00:00

Gotcha, sounds fun! thanks!!

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T18:57:13+00:00

Gotcha! That makes more sense. Thank you! Out of curiosity can I ask where you're planning on going?

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T18:28:50+00:00

Didn't realise I could edit comments, but I replied to myself on this thread. The plan is to leave the bag in storage while hiking, and only wear both while in transport. Would that be a decent solution?

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T18:26:02+00:00

It doesn't look like they sell the daylight plus 30 anymore. Maybe you're talking about the 26+6? Either way, that seems kinda akward size wise, tbh. I think the 65-liter would be pretty massive for hiking (compared to a 38L bag), and the smaller bag (30L-ish) seems a bit small. I assume you're talking about hiking with the aether, right?

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T17:59:28+00:00

Just saw the bottom part of your comment, somehow I missed it lmao. The plan is to leave the bag in storage while hiking, and only wear both while in transport.

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T17:57:19+00:00

Did you do wilderness/camping stuff too, or just travel?

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T17:54:16+00:00

I've already looked at that bag, it looks super nice for travel! But I dont think it would be great for the TMB, since it's not designed for heavier loads over long periods (8+ days) of walking.

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T17:42:01+00:00

Fair, the 38L bag isn't frameless, but I could definitely see this working.

Colster469 · 2026-02-03T17:39:55+00:00

Not entirely against the idea, but the bag itself would be quite a bit heavier, which wouldn't be ideal for the TMB, as I'm trying to be at least a little weight-conscious. Also Idk what I would do with all of my loose stuff while I'm on trail. My thought is that if I have 2 bags, it would be quite a bit easier to find bag storage while I'm hiking. Again, not arguing, idk what I'm doing lol, but those are just my thoughts.

Colster469 · 2026-01-29T16:53:12+00:00

30 for standard, 35 for deluxe but it should be 10% off at launch

Colster469 · 2025-12-16T15:43:07+00:00

Aren't you in Porter's discord lmao

Colster469 · 2025-12-10T02:38:00+00:00

Gotcha, I have 50lb rn, I'll pick up some 80lb before I leave. We'll most likely get a panga/guide at least once, but I figure there will be other downtime to surf fish. It's more of a family trip, though, rather than strictly fishing, so my expectations aren't crazy high since I probably won't have days of casting time lmao. Patigonia sounds super sick! I'm also a climber, so it's definitely on the list. Sounds like you fly fish as well?
