FISHING
PROGRAM:
The
fishing area called Comarca de los Alerces, is internationally
known as one of the most important Salmonidal fishing
places in the world. It is characterized by a big
number of original glaciar lakes and hundreds of rivers
and streams, with a variety of truots as well as salmons,
wich were introduced in this territory 100 years ago.
Laguna Larga Lodge is placed at the shore of the Laguna
Larga.
The trout of Patagonia (brown, rainbow, and brook trout)
averages 12-20 inch. Intermediate fly fishermen can
expect to land trouts of over 20 inches and experienced
anglers have a good chance of landing 5-15 pund trouts.
Many rivers also contain landlocked salmo, which can
exceed 10 pounds. Laguna Larga and Patagonia offers
a first class "off-season" fishing (November thru mid
April), in a scenery very similar to the western states
in the US, particularly Montana and Wyoming some 50
or more years ago.
Good fishing in crystalline waters, surrounded by glacial
lakes, millenarian trees, and magnificent landscapes
is combined in Laguna Larga Lodge with the elegance
and comfort that could make such experience unique.

Fly Fishing tackle and
Equipment:
Wading
All of our fishing is in rivers and streams, wading
from the coast and sometimes on floating trips and float-tubing.
One pair of fly weight chest waders and one pair of
neoprene chest waders is recommended. The new waders
"non-condensation" is the best for walking. The comfort
of your wading shoes is very important also.
Rods
Bring 2-3 rods. A good combination is:
-- 8-91/2; 4/5 weight for dry flies and nymphs.
-- 9-91/2; 6/7 weight for Boca or streamer fishing.
-- 8-9; 3-4 weight for spring creeks and small flies.
Lines
We
suggest:
--Floating lines for each rod.
--Sink tip lines 5-8. (like Scientific Angler Ultra
2 wet tip IV 10 or Tenny Nymph Tip)
--Shooting head sink tip line 7-8 weight (like Teeny
T200 or T300 or shooting line sink V).
--Optional: Intermediate sinking line. Baking 75 - 100
yards is sufficient.
Leaders
From 4 to 12 feet long. Tippet material is extremely
important in Argentina. The trout are very strong and
powerful. Your tippet material should be sheer resistant
as well as have the maximum breaking strength in small
daymeters.
Flies
Bring
plenty of flies. You can lose 6-10 flies a day on snags,
in trees, by breaking off fish or on stones.
