Sea Trout Fishing report from “el Fin del Mundo”

For the last couple weeks I’ve been touring around Tierra del Fuego. The fishing had been excellent, but last week it did a complete about face, as unseasonably hot & dry weather has conspired to put down the fish. It often seems like the better the weather is, the worse the fishing is, and vice versa. I suppose you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Nonethless, everyone got fish & Jim and Henrik provided more than enough comic relief at the lodge to make up for the slow fishing. Copious amounts of fernet even lead to a rather prolonged (right word usage?) nude fishing competition. At least it was warm..Unfortunately those pictures aren’t family appropriate, so these will have to do:

Far end Rivers fishing report – week 5-

F I S H I N G R E P O R T

W E E K 5 JAN 30th – FEB 6th, 2010

O V E R A L L C O N D I T I O N S: After the big floods that we had the past week the water got lower, clear and fishable again. No rain during the whole week. Good overall weather during the week.

The air temperature rounded from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius.

We used the helicopter to go to the higher beats due they were unreachable by land. We also fished the Leticia River without success.

R I V E R C O N D I T I O N S: The water level was over the normal at the beginning of the week. The water dropped continuously thought out the week

F I S H I N G : In terms of catches was the best week so far. We had lot of action almost every session. The first three days we only caught fish less than 12 pounds and most of them between 4 to 8 pounds. The second half of the week was superb; a good number of large fish was landed.

The lines we used ranged from Floating lines to slow sink-tips. Small rubber legs nymphs such as wonder bugs and large flies such as string leeches (at dusk) were used.

The fish caught ranged from 4 to 22 pounds. We lost some very large fish.

T O T A L C A T C H E S : Three rods fishing six days caught 45 sea trout averaging 7,5 pounds and the biggest of the week was a 22 pounder. Over 30 fish under 4 pounds caught as well.

E X T R A S: We also did some Robalo fishing. More than 30 sea-trout under 4 pounds were caught as well.

After 5 years of fishing all over Argentina, we’ve amassed a collection of thousands of photos. Our goal is to start sharing some of these photos by randomly posting one everyday (or at least everyday that we’re on the computer). Fish porn can get boring, so we’ll try to change it up. Hope you enjoy them!

Today’s photo is one I got on the Irigoyen River at Far End Rivers Lodge 3 weeks ago. Sunset photos are pretty cliché, but I think they’re amazing nonetheless.
