Malleo - November 24th, 2008
supplied by: Andes Outfitters
RECORDED: 
36 °
FISHING: Great
We fished the Malleo despite the high water and it was really good. There were lots of fish, as usual, and the best technique was either a dropper/hopper or an indicator nymph combo. We hooked rainbow and brook trout from 14" to 20"
Joe Mc Manus, from GA hooked a very, very large brown on a Double Humpy but the 2X leader didn't hold the weight of the fish nor the strong current.
Even though high water was a nuisance, it will keep good water flows and temperature for a long, healthy season.

Malleo - April 24th, 2008
supplied by: Andes Outfitters
RECORDED: 
69 °
FISHING: Excellent
We fished the lower Malleo River from the bridge on route 23 to the confluence with Alumine River. Escuelita pool and upstream produced several fish over 20" all on dries and sight fished. There was a brown trout of around 10 lbs. feeding actively on the middle of the river but we couldn't catch it, despite perfect drag free presentations.
We caught an 8 lb brown on an Olive wooly bugger fished deep on Alamos Plateados pool and I lost another large trout that took a Gipsy King # 2 dry fly. Another angler in our party caught and released a 6 lb silver brown that looked and fought like a rainbow trout. Biggest fish was a huge perca that took a # 12 Prince nymph.

Malleo - February 28th, 2008
supplied by: Andes Outfitters
RECORDED: 
71 °
FISHING: Excellent
The MALLEO river is one of the best rivers in Patagonia. It is a top producer for novices and experts alike. It has a very healthy population of rainbow and brown trout which average 14" to 18" with some trout caught every day to some 28".
We fished it with streamers, dries and nymphs and it always gave us lots of trout. I like to sight fish the Malleo if conditions are right, just watch for rises or simply for fish, if light is right and got get it... if you can....
There are two trout in Escuelita Pool that we have not been able to catch yet: Jenny and Frank. Jenny is a 28" rainbow trout that you can easily see from the road on the way to were we park our trucks and Frank is a 9lb + brown that lives some 100 yds downstream from Jenny. Jenny always looks at my offerings the way girls from Paris look at an Argentinean fishing guide while Frank just looks up at some of our dries and goes back to do his thing.
I will be there next week and will take my clients to visit them, hope they are cooperative.
Anyways, the Malleo has a lot to offer the visiting angler and hope it remains this way for ever and ever.

Malleo - November 3rd, 2007
supplied by: Andes Outfitters
RECORDED: 
63 °
FISHING: Excellent
A new season started today in Patagonia and the fishing was nothing short of spectacular. The air was partly cloudy in the low 60's. The water was just a little high for our preferences but nevertheless we caught lots of trout on dry flies. The day started as planned, we arrived early just at the break of day and after a few coffees and pastries we went into the cold, early season Patagonian waters. There were no insects hatching but few midges and we started swinging buggers, muddler minnows and dead drifting large nymphs in search of a new world record, eh? My first fish was a 23" brown buck that put me into my backing twice, very strong and healthy fish. My second was a 20" rainbow and my third was a 6" pejerrey!!!! In 40 years of fly fishing the Malleo, this is the 3rd Pejerrey I caught here on a fly. Beautiful little survivor of the predatory trout that conquered this river less than a century ago. Around 10:30 am we had a predictable hatch of mayflies and some small black caddis flies. We immediatly switched to Adams, March Browns and other classic and got hooked right away. It was perfect except for a few lost fish due to barbless hooks and weak knots (....). There was a really nice brown on the mid section of the Escuelita Pool that caught my attention. It was a big brown, sipping mayflies and other morsels, real tight to a bunch of reeds and below a willow tree. It was a long cast, maybe 90' from where I was wading and miraculously I made, the fly was drag free for a miracuolous 2 seconds and the fish took. Everything was perfect, except my knots. WHAT AN IDIOT! I lost a fish over 28" that took my dry fly on an almost impossible cast to loose it because I didn't check my knots!!!!! My friends are still looking at me with smiles on their faces. Regardless of this event, the fishing was excellent. Our logs indicates that during this first day I caught 37 trout from 10" to 23" and one small pejerrey. Gus caught 29 trout from 12" to 20" and Christian caught 38 trout. 70 % of these fish were taken on dry flies.
My fishing buddies Around , all guides, caught many fish that morning from 12" rainbows to 24 "

Malleo - April 27th, 2007
supplied by: Andes Outfitters
RECORDED: 
78 °
FISHING: Fair
The Malleo was surprinsingly moody these past two days. Fishing was not what we expected. We tried dries (mostly midges and some caddis), nymphs and streamers and caught only small fish. It may have been the unusual warm day for late autumn, but the day before under the same conditions we caught nice fish in the Chimehuin.
The highlight was a 32" brown that took a # 10 Royal Wulff but looked like a snake. We released it thinking it was a kelt but it may have had some parasytes as these fish do not spawn until lake May.

Malleo - April 2nd, 2007
supplied by: Andes Outfitters
RECORDED:
60 °
FISHING: Great
We fished the Malleo River downstream from the bridge on the way to Chile. We fished a stimulator/prince combo and caught many rainbow and brown trout from 12" to 24" We switched to a # 14 parachute adams during a mayfly hatch and to a size # 16 caddis during a caddis hatch. The mayfly hatch was phenomenal but the trout were very selective during the caddis hatch. We tried some pupas but they wanted the adult. I hooked a4-5 lb rainbow on the prince nymph while fishing the outlet of the Malleo on the Alumine River and caught a 6 lb brown on a San Fermin fly two pools upstream from this confluence on my last cast. It was very dark. My friend caught and LDR (long distance release) a very large (but unseen) trout on a zonker due to a bad knot, also at night.

Malleo - November 19th, 2003
supplied by: Patagonia Flyfishing
RECORDED:
60 °
FISHING: Poor
Yesterday November 19 , when finally the sun came out after 10 rainy and windy days I went with other 2 guides to scout the Malleo , we went waters down ; to the Painefilú indian reservation .
Unusually high waters ( Lanin vulcano is completely covered by the snows that falled these last days , bad for fishing today but good for the following months of summertime ) didn´t allow our lines to get where the fishes were . We only could fish succesfully the junction with the Alumine where we fished 7 trouts , ( 4 browns and 3 rainbows )
