Nicolas Trochinebrown trout, Trout

More than five hundred years have passed since Fly Fishing got popular as a fishing method and one of the first detailed reports of this art was written by Dame Juliana Barnes in the late fourteen hundreds. British fly-fishing continued to develop in the 19th Century, with the emergence of fly fishing clubs, along with the appearance of several books …

Steelhead montage – Canon D10

BarrettSteelhead

Before coming up to Alaska this summer, I picked up Canon’s new point and shoot waterproof & shockproof camera, the Powershot D10.  It’s 12.1 mega pixels, takes fairly decent shots, and I especially like it for the rainy weather common to Southeast AK. It’s also a lot of fun to play around with the underwater video capabilities. I could go …

Here’s some video that I took this May while fishing a small Southeast AK steelhead stream. It’s a bit shaky, but if you pay attention you’ll see a nice steelhead that was swimming just a couple feet in front of me. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4aw6_k7SpU]

Barrettbrown trout, Patagonia

A couple months ago, after returning from Argentina, Nico and I found ourselves in Washington state and he wanted to sample some trout fishing –  North American style.

Days after coming back  from my fishing trip in the northern provinces of Argentina -Dorados in the cold I and II- I found myself  talking with my very good friend Marcelo Widmann from Bariloche about how where the last days of the season from his point of view.

Nicolas Trochinebrown trout, Patagonia, Sea trout, tierra del fuego

Once again the exploration group was becoming restless. After listening  to Alex and Luca’s overland adventure to the remote rivers of southern Tierra del Fuego , we decided that it wasn’t sufficient and we wanted to know ALL about the rivers till the end of the island. For all intents and purposes,  that probably meant that we were going to …

Dorados in the cold II – Upper Parana river

AlexanderArgentina, Dorado

After two days fishing at La Zona, I took a 10 hour bus ride to Corrientes, and then jumped into a taxi to reach a little town further north. There, I met two good friends who are expert guides in the Parana river, Peto and Mariano. Almost immediately after the arrival they showed me a photo of a beautiful catfish that …

Dorados in the cold.

The weather was balmy and expert Dorado fisherman say that fishing for them …
