Santa Cruz River, Patagonia
Photo of the Day
Here’s a picture of Rodrigo Amadeo battling an Atlantic Steelhead on the Santa Cruz river. FYI: two dams are now in the beginning stages of construction, so this incredibly unique river & run of fish will likely be short-lived.

BC road trip

I could go …

This is yet another instance of wild rivers been tamed in the name of “progress”. What makes it especially painful for …

Amazingly, they are …
