FISHING REVIEW

Two are the possibilities of Tucumán as far as sport fishing. The one of docks, rivers and streams of the mountainous zone and the one of rivers of the level part, that integrate the river basin of the Dulce river after the frontal dock of Hondo river, in combination with the account santiagueña.

 

The mountain fishing includes, as well, two aspects. The fishing of salmónidos in the rivers and streams and the pejerreyes and the carps, catfishes and tarariras in the lakes of the dams.
The equipment therefore differs enough, since in the rivers and streams of mountain the use of light pack light field equipment, spinning and fly is recommended, these last conditional to the characteristics of each course, many of which are bordered by so dense vegetation that it makes difficult the free action of “fly-cast”, launching of artificial flies. In those cases the use of the alternative equipment is recommended , of spinning with canes that do not exceed the 1.80 M. of frontal length, reel and nylon number 20 to 30.
In most of the cases, for those excursions of fishing the use of guides or baqueanos will become indispensable that will facilitate the access to the most recommendable zones and will assure the return to the vehicles. Several are the places of fishing of that type and depends on the opinion of the connoisseurs, thus is made very useful consult to the organizations of sport fishing.
Fishing of rivers: The fishing with varied equipment of of river that takes place in the river basin of the dam of the Cadillal includes the equipment of trolling for gilded. It must be indicated that in that zone the clarity of the water facilitates the action of decoys and artificial baits of all type, thus is recommended very specially to add to the equipment of medium fishing of delay one of spinning that debera to be used in the zones of concentration that indicates the banqueano.

Commentaries of Fishing
by: Jorge A. Gettas

Loved fisherman:

It will deal with hacerte a generalized review of the fishing in my province so that little by little ponerte to as much can of the fishing activity.

Here in Tucumán we have several dams distributed throughout the province in which the fishing of the pejerrey is important (mainly the dock the narrowness, located in Tafi of the Valley a distant place 100 km of the tucumana capital where the fishing of the pejerrey is most important in quality and amount.

For the fishing of the pejerrey, we used canes of 2 here.10 mts of length of action of end (like for spinning light) reel frontral with nailon 0.25 (100mts) and the fishing is made as much of bottom 10 to 15 meters with bottom balance beam as line of two hooks or balance beam of average water with buoy Cordovan or similar type.

The flotation fishing we shortly after made it in the summer that finishes the prohibition

As soon as the pejerrey lays eggs, the fishing with canes of 4 occurs to much afloat.00mts and elements of flotation of two and three hooks...reel loaded with multifilament.

The bait that we used is traditional mojarra, done filet, colored of red, yellow or blue, prepared with the oil of sardine and oil of codfish...also we used colored pejerrey and filet of toothy (this in measured minor).
The fishing of perca which abounds in this dam makes with revolving spoons, mainly or with white worm that grows up in the crust of the trees of the place.

The fishing with fly of perca every time has more followers. Equipment is used n° 5 or 6 (according to the preference) because in the zone there is much wind and this it makes difficult to much the launching. In days of little wind I advise an equipment 3 or 4.

Other dams apt for the fishing of the pejerrey are the dock the Cadillal, to 15 minutes of the tucumana capital, where there is an overpopulation of pejerrey and tarariras, but the quality of the pejerrey is very poor.

We have the Dock of Escaba and we limited with Catamarca where we have several dams with abundant pejerreyes (sumampa, collagasta, pirquitas, etc)

This it is a small summary of the fishing of the pejerrey in the province:

Fishing of the gilded one: the fishing of the gilded one is made, in the dam of laughed deep, distant 80 km of the city of Tucumán, or in the rivers of the province at the time of rains (summer) and where it governs an average prohibition.

The fishing of the gilded one in the dam is good and with unit of very good quality (where they removed gilded from up to 18 kilos)

The modalities that practice are trolling, spinning and fishes with bait.

Separate paragraph for the fishing with fly, with 9 equipment 8 and the fishing of the gilded one in the mouth of the rivers is than interesting more.
