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.

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:

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.

The third day we flew out to try the Policarpo river but we did’t have much success, no fish caught. After the river got high and dirty we did’t have any more catches. We tried the Malenguena river but it was muddy as well.

Sinking tips ranging from 3 to 6 inches per second used with small rubber legs nymphs such as wonder bugs. After the river got high we used flies such as leeches and big tube flies. The fish was not active after dusk, most of the action was during sun light.
