Hey All, I just sent a letter to the Chilean Embassy in support of the thousands of Chileans who have been protesting for weeks, calling on their government to cancel the destructive and unnecessary HidroAysén dams in Patagonia.

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 …

For much of the season, we’ve had the pleasure of having the very talented photographer Isaiah from Argentina on staff here at Ryabaga camp. He’s captured some absolutely stunning images of life here on the Ponoi. This is but a brief sampling of some pics from earlier this season. There will be more to come soon!
THE FLIES!!
For better or worse, the best fishing in the world is usually found in the far-flung corners of the globe, and often takes considerable effort to get there, let alone endure the various discomforts that come with a true wilderness environment. Lucky for us, Ryabaga camp on the Ponoi has worked hard to provide us with all the luxuries of …
