Limay - February 1st, 2010
supplied by: West Yellowstone Fly Shop RECORDED:86 °FISHING: Good
Big attractor dries are the ticket. Streamer fishing has been fair. Most fish have been in the 18-22 inch class. Caddis and mayfly activity has been good on calm days.
Malleo - February 1st, 2010
supplied by: West Yellowstone Fly Shop RECORDED:88 °FISHING: Great
The Malleo is in excellent shape. Good mid morning insect activity has fish looking up. Keep an eye out for inch worms!!!
Chimehuin - February 1st, 2010
supplied by: West Yellowstone Fly Shop RECORDED:86 °FISHING: Good
The flows on the Chimehuin have been high this season. Dry fly fishing is starting to turn on and will improve as weather warms and insects become more active. River will be in prime shape all month. A variety of mayfly and caddis patterns will bring fish to the surface; attractor patterns, beetles/ants, work too.
Argentina - March 4th, 2009
supplied by: Andes Outfitters RECORDED:71 °FISHING: Excellent
Dorado fly fishing season is now open and the first fly fishing report of the season is very promising. We floated 3 veryproductive stretches of the Juramento River and waded the banks of Dorado River withexcellent results. We had a strange season last year with lots of rain (a 30 yr event) that changed the course of the river,altered banks and destroyed islands andbridges and the fishing really didn't start until the last two weeks of December.
Where a Wild on the Fly magazine hosted group caught and released many fish including a very strong 12.3 kg Dorado caught by Steve Duckett using his unique Bouncer fly.
Fish seemed to be very productive with small "machitos" or little male Dorado up to 10 lbs being the most active and very large females getting ready to spawn and very aggressive.
The tributaires are crystal clear due to the lack of rain for the past 5 weeks and small Dorado (average 20") are caught in every single pocket of water. Some large fish up to 11 lbs were also caught. It is really challenging to land a 10 lb bar of gold while using a 5 or 6 wt rod on fast current! We have only fished the cosest stretch of the tributary to town and fishing was superb, we are looking forward to taste what the upper stretches have to offer.
The sight of Toucans, Pecaris, Tapirs, storks, wild orchids and knowing that a Jaguar is hidden in the jungle high in this tributaries is truly amazing.
Lago Tromen - November 24th, 2008
supplied by: Andes Outfitters RECORDED:58 °FISHING: Excellent
We fished Lake Tromen a few days since opening season. Fishing was spectacular. We found rainbow trout still spawning on the mouth of Malleo River for a mile or so downstream. There fish were doing their thing and not really interested on our flies, except of course, to small egg patterns that were followed and sometimes attacked viciously.
The outlet of the spring creek was our top producer. Deep swinging a large streamer produced several large rainbow and brook trout. Biggest brookie was a 6 lb beauty. The spring creek itself full of tiny brookies and all the easter shore had rising fish to BWO's. Fishing was fun to say the least. We either floated casting to the dropp off, or waded the beach sight fishing for cruisers or risers. I had an 18" brookie that rose to my# 16 Parachute Royal Wulff.
Lago Verde - November 24th, 2008
supplied by: Andes Outfitters RECORDED:42 °FISHING: Good
Fishing Lake Verde was TOUGH. We cast for hours and there was no response to our flies, until....
Steve Jansen (again), caught a very large brown trout after probably 1000 casts. It was worth all the effort. This large, fat, 9 lb brown was a tough fighter and a beauty. After a little while Steve caught another brown trout around 20"
As for myself, I was hopeless until we were almost at the take out and hooked a 16" rainbow that I didn't land.
We cast to an XL brown on the Rio Verde without much success, but trying to full this "log" was lots of fun.
Alumine - November 24th, 2008
supplied by: Andes Outfitters RECORDED:41 °FISHING: Excellent
First day of the season: We floated the Alumine and the fishing was incredible. Lots, lots and lots of fish on streamers and dries. AMAZING. We fished the Alumine and Collon Cura rivers until it rained and was blown out with heavy rains for 5 days.
I can write a book on the Alumine and Collon Cura rivers and will always write the same. This is one of the best rivers in the world.
Collón-Cura - December 14th, 2007
supplied by: Andes Outfitters RECORDED:63 °FISHING: Excellent
The Collon Cura is one of the most beautiful and productive rivers in the world. It has a lot of different options, from swinging large streamers to dead drifting a # 16 BWO under the willows. We float this river at least twice a week with our customers and it produces lots of trout. During these past weeks and since its still early season, the water was higher than in the summer months but nevertheless it was really easy to fish from a raft and wadeable in most of its runs. We caught lots of fish from 12" to 6 lbs. and fished mostly with a Stimulator and a dropper while drifting until a specific hatch occured. Then we switched to the dry fly de jour. There are some pools that we know are best fished with a heavy sink tip and a streamer. These pools are home to large trout. Biggest trout we caught was a stunning 6 lb brown that fell for a # 16 Parachute Adams. I lost a larger brown while trying to row and reel in.....
Rio Alumine - April 2nd, 2007
supplied by: Andes Outfitters RECORDED:63 °FISHING: Excellent
We floated the Alumine from Pilo Lil to the confluence with the Malleo river during 3 days. The weather was Ok, but it was very windy the first day of the float. We fished mostly with a Stimulator/dropper combo with great success. We caught many rainbow and brown trout from10" to 22" . the highlight however was matching the hatch during mayfly hatches. During one of these hatches I caught an Atlantic Landlocked salmon, my first on the Alumine, it was about 18" but I loved it. He took the stimulator. One client hooked a 5 lb Perca and two really large but skinny rainbows, they were 28" long. We don't see rainbows in this shape until December, but they seemed like they just spawned, strange. Joe Stipe, from VA hooked and released a brown trout estimated at 9 1/2 lbs. he hooked this beauty on a white zonker.
Rio Corcovado - March 21st, 2007
supplied by: Andes Outfitters RECORDED:60 °FISHING: Good
We fished the Corcovado River for 4 consecutive days. Here is a short report of each day and stretch of water:
Day 1: We fished the Mouth (headwaters) of the Corcovado River at Vintter Lake. There were large Brook trout in the first 1/4 of a mile of river, particularly at the bucket right down the Lake. Ed Redman, from NC hooked an estimated 6 lb brookie on a redfish fly fished deep on a Teeny 200 line. This was the only large fished hooked (and lost at the net). Jim Melton, also from NC hooked and released 4 or 5 16" rainbows caught on a # 10 stimulator, fishing on the riffle below the bucket. We moved downstream 1/2 mile and we caught more 10" to 14" rainbows. No brook trout at all. A fellow angler who fished further downstream, where the fiver is deeper and with lots of underwater vegetation hooked and released a few brookies in the 16" to 20 " range.
Day 2: Today we fished a stretch of water right below the last bridge that crosses the river on the road to Chile. We floated aprox. 10 km of river. One angler caught 20 + fish between 16" to 24", mostly rainbows on dry flies and nymphs. We saw a bunch of Chinook salmon that were almost black in color and didn't seem to bother with our offerings. This stretch of water, inaccesible to most anglers (we have the keys to the Ranch) is unbelievable beautiful and productive. Other anglers in our party hooked and released a few brown trout, all caught on sink tip lines and streamers.
Day 3: After a long ride to the mouth of the Corcovado we found it unfishable due to high winds and large waves. We drove back to Poncho Moro som 20 km upstream from the town of Corcovado and hooked and released rainbow and brown trout from 14" to 20". Still no monsters in sight (fish over 5 lbs.)
Day 4: Today we floated from Poncho Moro to El Palenque (10 km float). The fishing was good but we had to walk the rafts a lot due to low water and overgrown vegetation. Fishing was tough with a few small rainbow and brown trout from 12" to 20".
