Gonzaga Fly Fishing help

[domtesta27]

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to pick the brain of the Flyfishing anglers out there who have gone to Makobob's place down in Gonzaga. I'm going down for the end of October trip and I want to make sure I'm not caught with my pants down.

I'm bringing down my 8wt setup with a full sinking line, but I realize that I'll probably be a little overpowered by the fish down there. Granted I have caught small yellowfin and skipjacks on this rod, but it was always a crazy battle and they were only in the 10 to 15 lb class.

I'm going to pull the trigger and buy a larger setup for mexico through Allen fly fishing. The question is would it be better to go with a 10wt or 12 wt?

Also been tying like a fiend, but mostly just clousers and deceivers in various colors, any other flies that are must haves before I head down?

Thanks and tight lines everyone!
