Our last two days of fishing in Argentina found us fly fishing the Rio Codihue with SET Fly Fishing. We planned an extra 4 days of fly fishing after the week of fish hunting at Casa de Campo. The new SET lodge is called Rakin (although we know it as Codihue) and was approximately two…

I’m anxious for some good dry fly fishing. How about you? I was on the river the other day waiting for insects to hatch and find a fish or two rising to them. It never happened, but as I changed flies, I looked in my fly box and thought it was time for some fly…

After spending a week at Casa de Campo, our next stop was fly fishing at Trocoman house with SET Fly Fishing. It wasn’t the original plan…we were scheduled to stay at Rakin Lodge (although we know it as Codihue), a new SET lodge approximately two hours away by car. We were looking forward to fly…

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…

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…
