Guessing Big Tippets & Big Flies in Argentina 17 Years, 8 Months ago  
Phil----I hear you on all the gear; and am guessing you'll use not much of it. My relative experience in Chilean Patagonia has been using a 6 WT 75% of time (5 & 7 WTS the balance)...and very few flies. The Esquel area is one I've wanted to visit; but haven't. My three trips have been further south; around the Couhaique area.

I'm guessing you will not be using 5X & 6X tippets/leaders; predominately 3X; and 2X and 4X on balance. I'm also guessing you use just a few dries and streamers. The dries being foam-bodies such as Fat Alberts and Chenobyl Hoppers and streamers such as Black Krystal-Flash Buggers...all in sizes 4-12. I did not have spring creeks available; you may...so it may discount my guessing.

There may be an occasion when you use a 5X tippet and a smaller fly. I did such on the upper Rio Manuhaules when I felt a need to use a #18 Parachute Adams on a rising Brown. We had great success using dries; so much so we used them 90% of the time.

I'd be curious if I'm close to guessing correctly. I'll look forward to your report.

Good Luck and have an incredible trip.

I love talking fly-fishing. So, if you want some info on fly angling my "home waters" in the Truckee area, do not hesitate to contact me off the board; whether by phone (530-587-7333) or e-mail (cyberfly@cyberfly.com). Please be patient relative to a quick reply; most especially during May-October.

My latest crusade is limiting undo fly fishing guide impact on the Little Truckee River. This small venue is being abused my commericial guiding interests. Consequently the fishery is being abused, IMO, most especially by guides to the detriment of the fishery. Moderation is the key in usage.

During the last two seasons I've diplomatically mentioned to many guides that they should coordinate with others guides so that they minimize impact...it has been to no avail. Some entities are more guilty than others; weather independent or "stabled" (outfitter or fly shop). So I've just started taking this public. Any civil suggestions/comments on limiting guide impact would be appreciated.

For my complete bio go to www.cyberlfy.com; then click-on my photo.



NOW FOR THE SPAM!!

Simply, I'm a fly fishing junkie. In 1984, in order to justify my addiction, I started Thy Rod & Staff in Truckee; the longest existing, fly fishing guide service in the Tahoe area and possibly one of the longest in California. I'm an independent; so the "buck stops with me". I tailor trips to the specific desires and skill levels of the client; no "my way or the highway" guiding.

Simply, experience counts folks! 2009 will be my 26th year exclusively as a professional fly fishing guide in Truckee. As long as I enjoying the interaction with other passionate fly anglers and/or those new to the sport; my service will continue into the future. I also "host" fly fishing club outings.

Encouraged by clients & family I started the Reel School of Fly Fishing in 1996. There are scheduled one & two-day clinics through-out the "general" season; entailing a maximum 3-to-1 attendee-to-instructor ratio. Now, since the season if open year-round; I have a scheduled snow-shoe/fly fishing group-outing during March.

Again in 2010 I will be "hosting" two groups at a private lodge in Chilean Patagonia; located 2+hours from Coyhaique, Chile. The lodge accommodates six (6) fly anglers only. It is located in an isolated river valley (40 minute jet-boat ride down river...no roads). From my past experience in this area, I'm guessing it is like Montana was 50-60 years ago....far-far-away from the "real world". Inquire for specifics, I will be going there every year. I've arranged with the lodge for some incredible pricing for two "hosted" weeks in 2010. Also I can arrange other stays and special pricing...contact me.
