A fishing day

 

We provide full and half day trips.
On a typical fishing day, your local English speaking guide will pick you up at your hotel at the time arranged the night before, usually between 8:30 and 9am.
It´s a half hour drive to the Limay River, here we gear up, put in and float, fishing all morning untill lunch time. The lunch spot is under willow shade since it´s usuully pretty hot in summer (80-90´s F), we set up a table and chairs viewing the river.
Lunch consists of typical argentine food, for instance ¨milanesa¨ (breaded veal) with different salads. Whenever possible we cook an ¨asado¨ or barbecue with thick steakes, other options are roasted chicken, ¨empanadas¨ (tipical argentine pie).
To accompany this we take a good bottle of argentine malbec red wine.
We always provide dessert, fruit, ground coffee and ¨mate¨ (southamerican hot drink in form of tea).
On the raft at all times we have cold beer, sodas and water.
We fish all afternoon and then take you back to the hotel with enough time for a shower so you may dine at any of the many fancy restaurants down town.
On the float trips we provide a comfortable fishing frame on a 14 foot raft, with swivel seats and an anchor system, we do get off and wade wherever possible.
On some hot summer days we don´t use waders, and just wet wade with tevas and shorts.

 

What gear to bring:

 

We always use two rigged rods per angler at all times, this way we can change back and forth according to fishing situations.

One 6 weight with a sink tip e.i. Teeny 200 grain, one 5 weight with floating line.

We use streamers, nymphs and dries.

 

It´s important to bring strong sun screen, polarized dark glasses, wide rim hat or cap, fleece jacket and rain coat.

 

For those who prefer to travel light, we can provide waders, boots, rods and reels for a little extra. This way you don´t have to lug the bulcky and heavy weight of wet waders and boots.

Nevertheless, please bring new or sanitized waders and boots due to the whirling disease in the US.
There is no real need for boots with cleets or studs.
