Itá Ibaté - Corrientes

====================================================================================================================================

Itá Ibaté
Corrientes Province - Rep. Argentina
Great debut of our fishing buddy Lucas Teitelman

In mid-January we visited the traditional fishing Itá Ibaté, we are pleasantly surprised with the paving being made and that will improve the traffic and the view of the town.
The river was less than a meter below its normal level, I think you exaggerate a bit with the descendant, and now that no one went better informed.

As for over ten years we installed in the cabins "Port Paradise ", which are in continuous remodeling and increasingly more services to fishermen, we thank Daniel for his consistency over the years for us. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and arranged to catch the Sunday, we decided to invite Lucas, the youngest son of Daniel and the eleven years which we know since he was born, and that although he had made his first catch of vogue and had not yet Doradillo tried fishing for the large.

On Sunday at dawn, after a hearty breakfast, we entered the river, "Luque" (fishing guide), Patricia, Lucas and I were going to do fishing and trolling by being pretty good, went up to water near the island "ball" a little above the mouth of "the German Picada" and then began to do in the past, is an area of sandy bottom in about six or seven meters deep, a few minutes Lucas has a pique , Luque accelerates the boat to assist in the key and thereafter he managed alone, leaning a little bit nice dorado of about six pounds to the boat for photos.

Great festival, Lucas proud with his first gold "large" and a little tired by the struggle with the fish, I have to continue monitoring and capturing another gold, this some five kilos masomenos a short fight and the boat for photos again to fishing and Lucas has another pique, this time it was one of the truly great, a good time it cost him to the boat, but finally he did it himself, this time the gold around the eight kilos of weight and note that it is leading.

Imagine what that is for an eleven-year-old rookie, did not stop the celebration, and most important is the joy with which they returned to the water, that gives me hope for the future, as new generations of fishermen are aware of conservationism hope that new generations of political leaders also aware, because I think today no longer have choice.

It can be used for fishing rods half action 10/20 Lbs. because the fish is hooked only to bite the bait and do not need too much force stuck with bait, and because it is not very deep, we can use the 0.40 Tanza that we like to fund, should the deepest places multifilament.

Near about our visitors from Brazil caught a couple of surubí, one measure.

Also a family of Salta province had very good fishing, comprising Chucho (14) France (11) and Javier (44) very nice people and very fishermen kindly shared their images of fishing with us, and, of course, you all, very encouraging is that all the pieces back absolutely caught, would have a lot of tourists like them.

After noon we returned to the compound for lunch with the intention to resume fishing in the afternoon, but the three are off to a very violent tropical storm, lightning, thunder and a deluge that lasted into the afternoon and postponed until the fishery the next day.

On Monday we decided to make fly fishing Baitcast and therefore did not want to wake up so early Lucas and let it sleep (something that we blamed much), this time Oscar was our guide, was quite windy so we decided to get into the "Chopped from the German" where there was some hesitation and a good fishing for these modalities, we fish with engine stopped, "falling" and making the sets (such as fishing the coup), Peak and several had enough catches in bait as in fly, we use for bait rods 8 / 16 Lbs. reel and rotary guy multifilament 0.15 to # 8 fly rod four sections, and online QD "(sinking tip) of 175 grains, after noon we returned to prepare things and Yahapé move to our next fishing destination.

The bait and fly fishing is very participatory, and that the fisherman chooses the type of deception used and the site launch, as well as light equipment to make us small fish have a lot of fighting, try to do it if fishing have some half days available.

Finally,

Those missing centimeters of water allowed us to see which is the largest river of predation, rather than the Mayon and reeds, and this is making mouths water for the rice, pipes up to a meter in diameter without any filter with huge turbine powered engines with Scania and Iveco, and "suck" the fish fry and young of all species that roam along the coast in a few days we will discuss this topic more extensively.

Finally, the fishing was very good, the debut of Lucas fishing unbeatable and the service of "Paradise" better every day, if you can take this time to go fishing in this zone, because the results can be equal to or better than ours.
