The equipment
Rods #3 with sinking tip line and another #5 with fast sinking line.
The flies
We began at the morning using a big variety of flies and the we put the classic olive and black woolly buggers.
The fishing
We began fishing at ten a.m, the day was cold with a little of sun, the firsts casts were goods because we caught some rainbows of one pound and some browns of 1.5 pounds, then we stopped to make fire because we were really cold and to have lunch. After of that we drank coffee with cookies and continuo with the cold but great day. When we pass the “barranca de los loros” pool we decided to stop to see the trouts that this pool has, who were eating a lot of may flies and emergins. Then we continuo with the fishing casting under the trees, where we had a lot of strikes with a black woolly bugger with blue flashabou, tied by the guide Matías Grippo. Under the trees Javier caught a beautiful brown with the same fly and in that moment began a big fighting between Javier and the big brown. After the tired fighting the guide put the really big brown into the hand net and he took a great photo. Javier, Helga y Matías were were arriving to the Manzano pool where was waiting them to bring them to the town.
-----------------------------
Today we fish in the Chimehuin river, it was the classic float from the town to the Manzano pool, this is s great chance to fish for many hours in amazing places and in worldwide famous pools.
The Place: From the town to the Manzano pool.
The Equipment: Rods N° 6 and 8 with fast sinking lines that worked very well because the water is high and they take the flies right to the bottom.
The Flies: the classic streamers worked very well and even better if the were olive green and combinations with black.
The Fishing: it was great, we caught some very good browns and some fighting rainbows, we had all day long strikes so we tried in every good looking place that this beautiful river has. We were surprised by the fight of the rainbows because they are finishing the spawn but they looked like they were and really good shape, this is going to be a great season.
The Weather: really nice for November, the sun is up and warming the water by mid day and it feels like spring, there is almost no wind that helps a lot with the casts. They were just a few clouds, so it was an excellent fishing day on the great Chimehuin.
