3° “light” Pesca in Currents
Paso de la Patria
Current-Argentina

Por: Oscar Dono

A few years ago it did not visit this classic Correntino fishing boat, and from which we began the trip with Hugo and Patricia me towards water the mouth to think about fishing again in this place, although is not the Passage Of the Mother country of long ago, the effort of many to end the resource has given some results, from very many guides which they kill of indiscriminate way, cabañeros that with so filling their lodging allows their clients to make true disasters, terrible policies of conservation, the dams, the wastebaskets that there are on Parana with obsolete technology and very polluting, the commercial fishing, in aim thousands of factors that they involve not only to this one fishing boat, if not to all Coast, but in spite of all that, the Step still conserves that mystic who I take it to devote himself like one of the great fishing boats of the country.

It has a conformation very different from the one from average Parana, here they appear enormous stones in means of the river as if one was twin or pozón of the count in the Limay, also we found the confluence of the rivers Parana and Paraguay, an extremely productive place, waters down ends and stones until arriving at Currents Capital, waters above the same stone conformation until passing Itatí.

We did not have hardship and we counted with the amount of days that we wanted to fish, to make a good relevamiento and to pass it very well.
The chosen place to lodge us was the tourist complex Garden Parana, a site dreamed, with all the imaginable comforts from sauna, gymnasium, comfortable rooms and prusianos suites, restaurant with meals to the letter, sink , cleaning and order, but by on all the things customized attention all along, this complex occupies a single apple to five blocks of the river, in the heart of the district chaqueño, one of the places but exclusive from the Step, we arrived noon last and they presented/displayed to me with the owner of the place, the Turkish querible Aquere, “the king of the litoraleños personages” immediately served an own table to us of kings and we had lunch between char them of fishing, anecdotes, histories, and the habitual thing in these situations.

The day sun appeared superb, heat, without wind, learned the Pavement lesson, and with one of my favorite proverbs in mind “Never you leave for morning, which you can fish today” as soon as they timidly passed the fly to me with _ If this behind schedule wants to go to fish we lowered a boat. Tome right away with _ If we go, was 14:30 hs and to 15:00 hs already we were above of the boat with all the ready artillery, Garden of Parana has new a 15 fleet of truckers, with motors of 50 HP 4 times, a luxury for the zone, we made the first shots in front of the city, when by radio I arrive the data to us that was passing a shoal of fish of mojarras and that the gilded ones were leaking panzada single 10 minutes underneath where we were, in followed we raised everything and we went towards there, indeed we found the shoal of fish and what followed it was what I would like to describe like, behind schedule of glory!

From the exact edge of the coast, to two meters river inside, the water black era of color, product of million of mojarras that were raising by Parana, the gilded ones in certain sites as dammed stone ends or ran over to the poor women mojarras and these in a desperate attempt to be saved jumped outside the water to fall on the coast, where they were devoured by the birds, the nature was giving us one of those spectacles that we can observe when we have the luck to be in the indicated place and moment, is interesting to see as the Gilded ones attack in group, rare time one sees single units, always of to four or five at the same time and flower of water causing but the exciting one of the noises, the few hairs that I have left in the made bristle head the tapeworm like cornered cat, breathe deep and I said to my mismo_ Ok, pains a little, is difficult not to be hopeless thus in a situation, I began fishing with cane 7 and white fly, Patricia with dark fly, to the second shot I caught my first gilded pretty one one 3.5 kg, to the ratito another one, Patricia nothing, Hugo filmed and towards some shots with spinning when I nontapeworm no gilded caught that it had to film, after my gilded second, leaves the cane of fly, venia but that satisfied, had begun the trip fishing in Corner, soon Beautiful Vista and Empedrado, always with good fishing, I gave one of my flies type him mojarra to Patri and takes hold the cane of bait casting, can seem rare, but tapeworm desire to fish with bait, meanwhile Hugo already had removed a pair with spinning, as soon as my decoy I touch the water nails another one, Patricia with the white fly of black back coat two in less than ten minutes, all were even between 3 and 4 kg, when the fishing was cut, the guide raised the head and located gilded the 200 meters again waters it arrives or down, immediately we went to the place, and before the poor man finished accommodating the boat decoys and fly already was in

Hugo did not give supply to film, we did not let loosen it the camera to fish, that some of us tapeworm nailed gilding, my part was enjoying very many that fishing bait light pack light field equipment, uses a cane of 15 pounds, rearmed with 12 pasahilos, reel daiwa advantaje and multifilament taira of 20 pounds, the decoys but rendidores they were Alfer' s and on them she stood out mojarra small, long trowel type cardinal white body and red head.

Afternoon step flying, watched the horizon saw fall the sun and requested a little please but of time, in a while I had a really violent resentment, I felt as they wanted to remove the cane to me from the hand and the multifilament I explode in dry, did not give time me to anything, we watched ourselves with the guide and with that wise correntina parsimony sentencio_ great Surubí, hurts. I leave myself regulating short, while as much the gilded ones did not let eat, until the moment we had not punctured no enormous one, but a pair went up to around the 5 kg.

When it found finishing me tying a new cable of steel to the multifilament after the cut, gilding that by the noise seemed but great that the average which we came removing revolcó to water flower, but enough far from the boat, the shot was not impossible, but tapeworm which to be long, in a second I crossed the box of decoys looking for but the heavy one and found minow with which it had removed the great one in the ends from Beautiful Vista, I put it to the moment, watches the place, aims well and towards it was Alfer' s with all the faith of the world there, I touch the water and automatically cabezón took it, in fact was not as great as what we hoped, but he was the best one gilded of afternoon, weight almost 6 kg. and I fight like a worthy rival, to that height already we were to average light, was hour to return to port with a smile of ear ear and a good education, if they have few hours to fish and the conditions are the propitious ones that is to say, climate, state of the river, etc. “They never leave for morning the one that can fish today”.

As the trip were my routine throughout, at night towards the duties, it cleaned the lines so that they slid well, is impressive the dirt that we can remove to him using them in waters from the coast, changes completely once clean and lubricated, also it tied new leaders and it changed steel cables , in a word reacondicionaba everything to be ready.

In the morning the guide suggested to us to sail waters above, in agreement with his logic the shoal of fish of mojarras continued raising and really it seemed but the reasonable thing, we began to fish by the zone of the island Toledo, but without same the results that afternoon previous, Hugo with spinning gilded coat a beautiful one of 5 kg. and I with fly punctured several in different stones, but we did not find as much activity, to noon we returned to the complex to have lunch and we found out that mojarras was in the environs of the city.

During afternoon I consider that we spent about 3 liters of gasoline, the first one gilded exactly nails it to 20 meters of the wharf, to the few shots I caught one good one, the resentment he was hardest, it ran, jump and coat the fly of the mouth ( the history of my life) chews quarrel during awhile, thus is the fishing, while as much mojarras passed in front of the municipal beach pegadito good to the coast, saving the differences and to be a little exaggerated the gilded ones were united in the beach like the Orcas when they attack the marine wolves, again that magical spectacle, all the nutritional chain working before our glances, but the great one eating to but the small one, the secondary actors like the birds taking advantage of the pieces mojarras crushed that were floating or those that directly jumped to the coast, in the middle of all this we continued enjoying the excellent fishing, but already but relaxed, it dedicates to me to observe the behavior of the fish, to prove different colors from flies, decoys and also each as much it watched upwards and it thanked for being there that day and with those conditions, very many times in the fishing this is the key of the success.

That night was tempered, after leaving my equipment of fishing in conditions and ready for the next day, it found me in shorts and hojotas watching the TV, in Bariloche was covered of snow and in Bs.As the cold one was terrible, Hugo said that in Bragado, its payments, water was falling snow, I to me I thought mmm… at the most these conditions would last here.

Although the fishing on the Correntina coast was excellent, we had desire to prove something different, for that reason the next exit we decided to cross towards the Paraguayan side, and to fish the openings of black water brooks good surrounds of the confluence of Parana and Paraguay, the idea exactly was to prove in that difference of color that takes place between the totally clean water and filtered that comes from the island and the brown one that comes from Paraguay, when beginning to fish Hugo immediately, with spinning, I remove several gilded to us from advantage, arrived down enough but that we, the fish were not active in the surface, but when deepening the thing changed, for that reason it decides on my Shooting Vll with amnesia, and fishing to the best patagónico style throwing waters above, letting lower to a very voluminous fly of green color chartreuse and in died drift, I began to have the first resentments, to Patricia the line not him profunzidaba the necessary thing for that reason it did not have many resentments that morning, before the golden lunch I tapeworm about ten, always fishing in he himself site, we decided before returning to the complex, crossing Parana and to prove luck in the coast Correntina , this time in the opening of the San Juan stream again, bright Patri with a beautiful Pyre Toots here of about 4 kg, that I fight hardest and was a deserved prize to the certainty with which always it fishes.

The very good continuous fishing during a day but, until the cold front with winds of the south I less arrive and the temperature under fifteen degrees in than eight hours, although I am sure that after passing days without too much activity, the gilded ones they would begin to itch again, was no time to hope, my labor obligations said to me that tapeworm that to return to Corner, Hugo and Patri waited for them in Bragado, so little by little, very slowly we were taking leave of Passage of the Mother country, a place to which doubtlessly we will return by but.
