Big Sallow - Like Always

By: Patricio "El Pato" Morelli

In a season in the one that the pejerrey means walked I avoid in the main ones fishing of the Pcia. of Buenos Aires, we decide to make a visit to the lagoon Big Sallow, lindera with the city balnearia of Beautiful Mount, there in the southeast of the county, where the estribaciones of the Sierra of the Window allows to see a landscape of soft waves and a sinnúmero of courses of water that they run for the narrow canyons that cross the route 3 looking for their outlet in the imposing Ocean Atlantic.

One of these courses of water, the stream Big Sallow, some kilometers before the end of their trip from the dike Step of the Stones, it forms the lagoon of their same name in a place of inigualable beauty. Already from the one on the way to entrance the magnificence of the lagoon is guessed that possesses an inmensa  pejerreyes population intermingled with dientudos, mojarras and bagres (in this lagoon there are not carps neither tarariras, what makes it an excellent option to also look for silver arrows in summer).

Next to the friend José María Tallon, we go out one Friday at night with the intention of arriving in the morning, to fish, to rest in Beautiful Mount and to return the day Sunday to our houses. We take the route 3 (with very little traffic) and among chats, music and stopped strategic (for GNC and some stretching of legs), we arrive at 7 in the morning to the fishing regenteado for Mr. Caesar Uriarte who next to their collaborators, they were preparing the whole infrastructure of the fishing one for the attention of a recently arrived contingent of fishermen of Buenos Aires.

The fishing bill with two jetties, complete sanitariums, table of I and fish cleaning, area of it camps tree-lined, grills, area of coast fishing, aid boat and rescue, and a spectacular natural environment.

At 9:30 o'clock we were already clever for the adventure, we load the teams in the boat that was assigned us, and with the experience of Walter to the command, we go toward the right of the fishing one, in a juncales area near the outlet of the stream Big Sallow where that day the wind died.

Once anchored, the apparels went to the water, canes of 4 meters, multifilamento in the reeles, buoys green lemon, oranges or white of medium size to boy and fishhooks red Nº 1 or 1/0 with an or two medium mojarras, of line to head.

After ten minutes, first itch; good cañazo and first pejerrey up!. A healthy copy of about 35 cm. vigorous and peleador. To the while, other, and other, and another. giving us the rule that the lagoon is very well populated by pejerreyes of good size.

After some two hours of being fishing, the wind began to blow stronger still, what forced us to change place looking for something of repair. We go to the opposed bank, where the wind was born, and after looking for we find an undoubtedly we liked it. We anchor turned to the rushes for the tolete, and we dedicate the while that was us to continue the kilo monster that we wanted to fish looking for. For this moment we had already fished some dientudos that we and we embody generously in some cases, a mojarra and the fillet hanging, and in other only filet. The answers were satisfactory giving us a pejerreyes seguidilla all from measure superior to the 35 cm.

As advice to those who visit the lagoon: when they find a fishing place that they like it, if they don't have it itches immediately, have patience. The fish are, it is only necessary to wait about 30 minutes until the one begins it itches. If this is not, to move about 200 meters and attempt it again. We have done fishermen with excellent crops that made what I advise them, and others that moved to the fifteen minutes of wait for impatient were not able to take out many pieces.

We take out many females with spawns about to spawn, which were returned to the water, were only in the boat the copies that  came swallowed (about 20 pejerreyes), in total we fish in some four and a half hours of effective fishing (without counting the displacements) between 50 and 60 pieces of excellent size.

Already in the pier, and being 16:30 o'clock, we are devoted to see how Caesar and their collaborators worked in the work of towing the boats of the trip that were disseminated by the lagoon, all with acceptable crops in spite of the intensity of the wind with which was fishing. To the I tweeted of the pier, several copies of 40 to 45 cm. and one of 48 was the outstanding pieces of the day.

And at the end of the day, and after a brown repairman, we go toward the city of Beautiful Mount where we have dinner and after the infaltable  talks after-dinner we went to fall asleep to face the 600 Kms. that they separated us of our homes.

Subtracts to thank Caesar's attention and their team infinitely, to helpful people of Beautiful Mount and the good wave of those responsible for the trip of Laboratories Andrómaco that were that day in the place.

Greetings, until the next one.
