Futaleufú river
Trevelin - Pcia. of the Chubut - Rep. Argentina

In the fishing sometimes one gains and others it is lost

The excessive volume of the river and an enormous moon affected our luck in the fishing

By: Hugo Gallo

Our last exit of fishing in Trevelin was one crossed by the Futaleufú River, this one is a beautiful river that normally is enough barren, but in those days the of great volume one was enormous, and ran with too much speed, which made difficult so much the floated one as the fishing, in the photos of down they can appreciate the level of the river.

We left the well-known slope like the “last Pylon” the noon, and to few meters we began the attempts of fishing, we took the heavy equipment to fish in the channel and equipment # 6 to make attempts with droughts in the backwaters.

When we began the fishing was a smooth breeze and sky a little storm cloud, but as it advanced the wind afternoon became but intense, passing the La Paz camping I had the first resentment that was single in that since the trout loosen the hook, we followed water down trying some capture but there was no luck.

Jose Luis decided to make attempts with lines of floatation and dry flies, for which we sailed a good short while down water, until a backwater where we threw our flies, Patricia had the second there itches of the day, but we in the backwater did not have the luck either to make specific it in capture, the force of the water did impossible to have left, in addition the wind already was too strong to throw with droughts, so we raised until a sector with a little repairs.

There we had a pair of resentments more, Patricia managed to raise a trout for the photos, and I lost my second (and last) resentment of the day, we did you send them towards the flanks and when the fly did drag we had the resentments.

Our fishing was poor, perhaps by the conditions of the river, or by the Full Moon, or lack of luck, but the question is that single we could afternoon capture a trout in everything, in spite of it we enjoyed a beautiful landscape, the river winds between coasts populated with vegetation and like bottom drop curtain the made snow-white tips of the mountain range, Jose Luis esteem that stops 8/10 of January the river will be in his normal channel.

Finally, in spite of knowledge that the conditions were not best the equal one we made the attempt, and he happened what tapeworm that to pass, the fishing was not what we waited for, but being there it is very difficult to accept to remain in the cabin, the passion by the fishing is stronger, I hope that those that go find the river standardized and the results are like which has offered this one river us in our previous visits.
