It’s encouraging to see more examples of fat, healthy trout in the aftermath if the volcanic ash fall in the Limay River. It appears as if the fish are no worse for wear. Thanks to Rodrigo Amadeo 🙂
Two Limay Brown Trout after the Eruption
Our good guide friend in Bariloche, Rodrigo Amadeo, sent us these encouraging photos of a couple superb brown trout from the Limay river. Judging by their very healthy condition, they certainly don’t seem to be negatively impacted from the ash deposits. Rodrigo points out that the only noticeable changes in the fish are in their pigmentation, which makes sense, as …
Fishing Report from the Ground: The Aftermath of Puyehue Volcano in Bariloche and Surrounding Area
Even five months after the eruption of the Puyehue Volcano in the Cordón Caulle Mountains in southern Chile, volcanic ash continues to fall on Bariloche. New information and conclusions about the effects of this ash continually emerge, creating confusion and pure conjecture over what the real environmental impact will be in the short, medium and long-run. The future of our …
Effects of the volcanic ash that has fallen on our lakes and rivers?
On a scale of 0 to 14 pH, a value of 0 is the most acidic and 14 the most basic. The rain usually has a pH between 5 and 6.5. It is acidic because it has dissolved carbon dioxide and air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. If the rain water flows over soil containing minerals, the …

Incredible end of season!
We are 7 days away from the end of the season at Limay River, the runs of fish from the Nahuel Huapi lake have been consistant and most of them are good size fish. Myself and many fishing friends have been in the Limay constantly, once you get the timing of this river… you want to fish it every day …
The Eagle Has Landed – Roadtrippin’ in the casa rodante
It’s a curios sensation to be trout fishing in two different hemispheres on opposite ends of the globe, just a few days apart. Immediately upon returning from Patagonia, I grabbed my motor home, infamously known as the “Eagle 6” among those familiar with her exploits, and set off with several friends in search of more rising trout. A few blizzards, …
Limay river – Fishing machines in action!

We had great fishing for good size rainbows and browns. Rainbows were really active, we had several double hookups during the trip. We also caught some incredible brownies, most on sinking lines …
