Along the river there are only a few trees, sowe were able to drive with our rods ready for action.
Guanacos are very common, and they are not afraid of people. Stefan during his sleep was almost stepped on by a careless animal.
Sea-trout is strong fish; for landing it you spend at least a minute per pound. Most of the holding areas were hard to cover with single-handed rods, especially in strong wind. I was using 15' 2-handed rod.
This fish weights about 3 kg; it could be a good trophy for Northern Europe; in Rio Grande this is an average catch. Sea-run trout are biting mostly rather small flies. Rubber-leg nymphs are among the best patterns.
The flies selection for fishing Rio Grande could be limited to small wet flies and nymphs on #12-8 hooks. In low water conditions the sea-run trout is biting mostly little flies. Bigger flies (Wooly Buggers, String Leeches, Intruders) are used in periods with high water, and in limited light conditions. They are also catching the majority of resident trout.
This 70 cm silver fish was caught with a #10 Red Tag.
Puff-balls near the river
In summer and fall the ibis is quite common in the open pampa
