Here are a few recent photos from our good friend and consummate guide, Tommy Sordelli of San Martin, who consistently slays huge browns on the Limay Medio. And often with dries! The Limay is definitely one of the premier trophy brown trout (these fish aren’t sea-run) destinations on earth for those willing to put the [...]
