Our last two days at Casa de Campo found us fly fishing the Rio Alumine with SET Fly Fishing. This is a float section where SET provides a wonderful camping experience for their guests. But first, I wanted to share links to the last couple of posts for my subscribers. It turns out my Mailchimp…
A couple of weeks ago was a milestone for me. Know why? RiverKeeper Flies turned 11 years old on March 5! That’s right, I’ve been at the keyboard writing these posts for 11 years. It’s hard for me to believe where my journey has taken me. It may be difficult to see, but this is an image…
We spent our next 2 days in Argentina fly fishing the Rio Malalco with SET Fly Fishing, another river in Lanin National Park. This was a very different river than the previous two, as we continued our fish hunting experience. The river flowed through a narrow and steep canyon and walking the trail was more…
Our second day at Casa de Campo Lodge found us fly fishing the Rio Calfiquitra with SET Fly Fishing. I hope you were able to read last week’s Fish Hunting at Casa de Campo post and our first day fishing in Argentina. Our destination today was Lanin National Park. On the way to Rio Calfiquitra,…
March is finally here and for the fly fisher it’s probably the first major hatch of the season. Are you ready for March Brown mayflies to begin hatching on your local river? For me, this is the first hatch I really look forward to. Give me a Sparkle Dun March Brown and Pheasant Tail Soft…
Did you notice the word “fishing” wasn’t included in the title? Our second week of in Patagonia found us fish hunting at Casa de Campo with SET Fly Fishing. It was our third year with SET Fly Fishing and we were looking for options where we could mainly walk and wade fish. SET has several…
We have been back from our Patagonia fly fishing trip for a week and a half and thought I’d share a few odds and ends as I’m slowly getting back into a normal routine. We returned home to a snowy driveway and temperatures in the 30’s, a vast departure from summer weather in Argentina. I…
Our last day of fishing Patagonia in Chile found us fly fishing the Upper Rio Simpson with Coyhaique River Lodge. We weren’t sure what the upper river might have in store for us, because we enjoy the walk/wade experience. Our only other time fly fishing the Rio Simpson was 18 years ago when we waded…
We had a wonderful time fly fishing at Lago Pascua with Coyhaique River Lodge. This is the one and only day we fished a lake in Chile and the fishing gods smiled down upon us. A we crested the hill, a beautiful, picturesque lake came into view. Our drive continued to the far side of…
We are still in Patagonia, but I’d like to share a few images from Chile. An image of our guide, Enzo from Coyhaique River Lodge. Here is Chester, who does an excellent job hunting rabbit around the lodge. Blocking the Patagonia wind after a streamside lunch. Ibis in the field. We found these everywhere driving…
