We have great offers for this season on daily trips or packages in the Lake district area. Please contact us if you have any questions! Enjoy the pics!

Lake Fonk, remembering old memories.

Nicolas Trochine — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 00:20:48 +0000

Many years passed since we started fishing around Bariloche. We were 14 years old when a very good friend and a guide at that moment, took us fishing to an incredible place called the Lake Fonk. Our friend, Nico Murua, was born in Buenos Aires and after finishing university he thought about moving to Bariloche. Resisting to the idea of staying in Buenos Aires and work inside an office he decided that Bariloche would be his new home, and fly fishing his job and joy. A year went by until I met him, he rented a cabin very close to my home and right after we became really good friends.

Right after that, Nico, Alex and I became fishing addicts! We used to go fishing when ever we had the chance, to different lakes and rivers. That’s how we end up going to this beautiful lake called Fonk, a pretty small lake in the middle of a cold rain forest and inside the Nahuel Huapi National Park. When conditions were suitable for fishing dries, we found Caddis, Mayflies and Dragon imitations very effective, It was the prefect place to catch lots of trout on dries, we really enjoyed it!

After eight years we finally went back, and find the lake exactly the same way, thanks to Carlos (the fishing ranger) that takes care of the place since 1999. We spent two days fishing and enjoying the scenery, it was a blast!. This time we didn’t have the chance to fish with dries due the bad weather, the temperature dropped form 20 C to almost 1 C, but hey, that’s fishing!

This time Nico Murua couldn’t go but a new fishing buddy join us, Edu. We really had a great time fishing, and eating asado!

Check out some pics of these moments!

Far end Rivers fishing report- Week 6-

Nicolas Trochine — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 22:20:48 +0000

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

W E E K 6 – FEB 6th – FEB 13th, 2010

O V E R A L L C O N D I T I O N S: The week started with southern wind which brought rain all week. The river rose about a meter and a half the first day, we haven’t seen the river so high ever before, there were trees floating down the river!

The air temperature was low during the week, from 2 to 12 degrees celcius.

Thanks to the helicopter we could do some trips to lagoons close to Tolhuin and the Malenguena later in the week.

R I V E R C O N D I T I O N S : Irigoyen river was unfishable for the whole week, we could start fishing the Malenguena river the third day when it got clearer.

F I S H I N G : We didn’t catch any single fish on the Irigoyen, the river was extremely high and muddy. We caught some fish on the Malenguena. At least we should do some fishing regarding the bad weather conditions.

Sinking tips ranging from 3 to 6 inches per second used with mid sized flies. The size of the fish landed ranged from 3 to 14 pounds.

T O T A L C A T C H E S : Three rods fishing 6 days caught 10 sea trout averaging 6 pounds and the biggest of the week was a 14 pounder.

More Dorado Fishing from Corrientes

Barrett — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:00:35 +0000

A couple weeks ago I made a repeat trip up to the upper Rio Parana (which happens to have the best dorado fishing in Argentina imho) with Tom McMurray & Brandon White from Marine Ventures Foundation, a non-profit fisheries conservation foundation. They were interested in investigating Argentina’s native fish species, namely the golden dorado, in order to document what issues surround the fishery and what, if any, conservation measures are being taken. After talking w/ the locals and various stake holders in the area, we discovered that fisheries “management” or “conservation” or whatever you want to call it, is actually rather progressive in this part of Argentina. Despite the utter lack of scientific knowledge on dorado populations, officials largely realize the economic value dorado provide in the form of sport fishing and tourism, and want to preserve the resource. In fact, killing a dorado is now illegal in both the Corrientes province of Argentina and across the river in Paraguay. Nonetheless, the region is acutely impoverished and many locals break the rules and poach fish just to make ends meat. But at least the attitudes of the decision makers at the top of the pyramid seem to be oriented in the right direction. Perhaps our fisheries stakeholders could learn a thing or to from them.. But enough of fishing politics. We did manage to fit some actual fishing too!

Big Fish Patagonia video – Fishing Limay Medio

Nicolas Trochine — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:02:57 +0000

One’s again the “Big Fish team” went for trophy fish, more exactly to catch big brownies to the middle Limay section.

The water level was high making the fishing pretty tuff, long distance cast and sinking lines were required but the guys knew how to catch them.

Big fish team also supports all efforts to preserve the wild fish and is one of the reasons why they fished this area, all the fish caught was kept for further studies that scientist are doing to preserve wild fish in Patagonia. Well done guys!

Check out the action!

Fishing report @ Far end Rivers

Nicolas Trochine — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:09:57 +0000

W E E K 3 – JAN 17 – JAN 24

W E A T H E R C O N D I T I O N S : Rainy the first two days and after that the weather got better. We had temperatures between 8 and 16 deegres. Some days with wind but fishable.

R I V E R C O N D I T I O N S: Water level was very high and mudy starting the week. The river was unfishable for two days, logs and all kind of things were floating down the river, trough out the days the river got lower and slightly clearer.

F I S H I N G: Unfishable the first two days. That made us go to Malenguena river again and we had the fortune to catch few fish there.
The fishing got better in Irigoyen after the river started flowing slower and the water was clearer. Excellent catching in the lower and middle section, we also caught some fish in the upper section. The fish was really spread and on the move so we could catch a lot of them.
Multi tip lines, from floating to type 3 where used, depending on the temperature of the water and water level. We got almost 20 fish on dries! It was really amazing to see huge fish coming up for the Titanic.
Fish from 4 to 24 pounds were landed.
ONE STEELHEAD WAS CAUGHT IN IRIGOYEN RIVER.

T O T A L C A T C H E S : seven rods fishing 6 days caught 64 sea trouts averaging 9,5 pounds and two of them over 20 pounds. The biggest of the week was an incredible 23 pounds.

Sea Trout fishing report at Far end rivers.

Nicolas Trochine — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 21:06:02 +0000

Nico and a super fresh sea trout

W E E K 1 - JAN3rd – JAN10th, 2009

W E A T H E R C O N D I T I O N : Most of the days had rain followed by overcast weather. The air temperature rounded from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius.

R I V E R C O N D I T I O N S : The water level was normal on the first two days before the rain came. After the rain, the water level rose about 15 cm for a short time and then started to drop again at the end of the week.

F I S H I N G : The season started pretty well, the fish were running up the river and not stopping much in the main big pools. Most of the catches were in pools that had a lot of logs into the water, making the catches more difficult and resulting in a good quantity of fish being lost. All of the fish were bright and silver. Sinking tips were used this week, ranging from 2 to 5 inches per second. Mid sized and small flies were used.

Most of the fish were caught during daylight and we did not see a lot of fish moving at the end of the day.

The size of the fish landed ranged from 5 to 17 pounds.

T O T A L C A T C H E S : Six rods fishing 6 days caught 25 sea trout averaging 8 pounds and 1 of them 17 pounds, which was the biggest of the week.

EXTRAS : Robalo fishing was very successful during this week. A couple of hundred fish were caught, ranging from 3 to 9 pounds.

Huge Golden Dorado!

Barrett — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 01:19:59 +0000

One of the most respected and knowledgeable fly fishing guides in Argentina is Guillermo Ricigliano, who graciously helped us with some of the research for Fly Fishing in Patagonia: A Trout Bum’s Guide to Argentina. He seems to have a supernatural talent for always catching the biggest fish. Be it huge brown trout in Patagonia or a trophy dorado in northern Argentina, he never fails to impress. On a trip to a relatively new destination called the Rio Juramento in northwest Argentina last October, he landed what is the record fly-caught Dorado for the river. It weighted 17.5 kilos!! (38.6 lbs)
