Chuck in Chile
While I was in Argentina, my friend,Chuck Furimsky, owner and operator of “The Fly Fishing Shows” was fishing just across the border in Chile. The weather was good for Chuck, and he had good fishing, too. Chile is the wet side of the Andes, and there are more trees and more wet days than on the Argentine side of Patagonia.
One thing that you will notice when you fish in the Patagonia–Food, and plenty of it! It’s more an eating trip with some fishing rather than a fishing trip with some eating.
Big brown number one. The big fish came to big buck tails, streamers, and other long flies.
Big brown number two. The browns found their way to the Patagonia via the ships of the British in the late 1800s.
A nice rainbow whose ancestors made their way south from California. There are also rivers in Chile with good runs of king salmon–they’re in right now.
