Average Limay river
Stone of the Eagle - Pcia. of Neuquén - Rep. Argentina

An exit of shared fishing

By: Hugo Gallo

Following with our trip of return we took Stone break of the Eagle, in our outward journey was impossible to fish in the Limay River, but at this moment he was a little but amiable and we programmed an exit of fishing with Daniel Ortega, guides authorized of the Province of Neuquén.
We shared the day of fishing with neighbors of Chile, very good people, with those who we passed very pretty moments.
 

The place from entrance to the river was Bunker Nogueira, this one field receives a toll of $ 15 by fisherman, and has one pretty coast and good woods.
When arriving already they were the patrol boats controlling that all the fishermen had the corresponding license, and all the guides the necessary rating
As they can see in the previous photo, the boat of Daniel Ortega is a Carolina Skiff of 17 feet, ideal for this type of fishing, ample and safe.

Many of you you know that the Limay is not a river easy to fish, therefore we asked to him Daniel who accompanied to us in the fishing, because perhaps we were not to the height of the circumstances and our readers can be taken a mistaken image of the fishing.
To few meters to sail we made the first attempt, Daniel explained to us as we had to present/display the fly and to make the drift but were not simple, so the first resentment was of him.
A beautiful trout, very brave, and in addition with the force to the water cost much to raise it the boat for the photo.

In the short while I had a resentment, but as she could not bring closer I wanted it to prepear it and what I obtained was a cut and a frustration, they saw that when one escapes to us it seems that the resentment is cut….it was cut just, so we returned to sail in search of another site of fishing.
We approached an island, we lowered of the boat and we began to fish to the fording, the corented one was very strong and we did not have life-guard, Daniel has a life-guard who throwing of a knob inflates itself automatically, this causes that it does not bother when fishing and activates in case of being necessary.

There Daniel captured two trouts more, two rainbow of more of a kilo than they required much skill to him to extract them, after this we dedicated ourselves to take you kill a good short while, soon to continue crossing the river in search of other opportunities of fishing.
As of that moment we decided to try the fishing since the material who we had was sufficient for the note, so we put hands to the work, but the luck did not accompany to us, already was enough past the noon and we approached a coast to share roasted with the other two guides and Chilean fishermen, they had fished several pieces, which indicated that the one that knows….it knows.

Something to consider very in this one zone is that because is waters underneath the dam when they listen to the siren of this one not they are in the water overcoming, since in few minutes the water grows much and can be isolated without being able to return to mainland.
When we began the lunch sounded the siren, and in twenty minutes the water raised almost thirty centimeters in spite of the grown thing that was the river, if the river were normal the ascent would be still greater, commented to us that in opportunities it gets to grow a meter almost.
After the lunch we continued fishing, we had some I touch that they did not take shape, the wind already was very strong and it made difficult to much the casteo to us, to that was added that by the stream force we could not anchor, but we followed with the attempt, which gave its fruits in a sector near the place where we began the fishing, I had a good resentment which I could make specific in capture of a beautiful brown trout.

About the nine we left the fishing, still with sun, but already we had made a good note, when arriving at the coast continued being the patrol boats controlling.
Finally, to obtain good results it has to castear either, to present/display or the flies and to have a little luck with the climate, in addition it is necessary to consider that being several days one adapts and is improving little by little, I believe that a single day is difficult to obtain a good result fishing.

The used equipment was 8 canes # - Orvis (Patricia) and I throw (I), lines sinking-tip of fast collapse, reels STH, streamers several and some ballast nymph.

Separate paragraph for Daniel Ortega, excellent boat, good fisherman and better fishing adviser, puts all its effort so that the fishermen obtain good results, is really a constant in the Patagonia the level of Guías de Pesca.
Perhaps in April we return to try the fishing in this one zone, at that time usually they prick the great brown trouts of up to 6 kilos or more.
