Patagonia - Deux

Patty and I will be traveling through Argentina starting next week for two weeks and planning on fishing 4 days in the Patagonia. Junin de los Andes to be specific.  We will be doing two days of camping trip then a wade trip followed by a float trip.

We will not be fishing for the rest of the trip but will have a chance to see different areas of the Patagonia. I will be sure to post some pictures.  Can't wait to get out this cold we are having and fishing in warm weather!

2014 -1

I couldn’t resist the recent warm front of weather and went out to my favorite creek this Sunday. I was hoping to see snow covered creek but recent heavy rain along with the warm temperature melted all the snow we’ve had and created an angry condition.  I’ve never seen this creek with the water level so high which is exact opposite condition from my last visit.
With raging water flow, it was hard to find spots to fish let alone wade through it. Only banks and eddies were targeted but because of so many submerged tree branches, I must have went through dozen flies. 
Every spot had to be identified from a distance as I couldn't hike along the bank which was difficult but gave me different view of the creek I’m so fond of.
I lost more fish than the ones I brought in to take a snapshot due to gentle hook set as I was afraid to apply my normal pressure after losing so many flies.  However, those ones I was lucky enough to take a picture was rewarding enough to be out on a beautiful warm winter day.

Winter Creeks

During the Christmas week, Patty and  I went up to the Adirondack and decided to explore a few winter creeks around the cabin.  We sat there for awhile and admired what winter had to offer for our enjoyment...
