Our trip to Estancia las Buitreras in late March with a big success. We filled the lodge and what a great group. Lots of people who were pretty new to two handed fishing, landed some good sea trout. We fished a variety of two handed 7-8 weight rods, with Rage or Scandi heads and intermediate poly leaders. Flies were a variety of girdle bugs and nymphs. Largest sea run brown of the week was 21 pounds. The Solid Adventures crew at the lodge was outstanding.
Back from two great trips to Estancia Las Buitreras and Los Plateatos in Santa Cruz province in Argentina. I really enjoyed my time with both groups and look forward to traveling with them again.
We were fishing for sea run brown.
Below are few pictures of Los Plateados. We were fishing for Atlantic steelhead.
Conditions were tough this year because a glacial dam rupture up river shortly before we arrived on. Water levels on the Santa Cruz were high and the silty. That said, I really enjoyed the company and will be back on the Santa Cruz next April.
It is a fabulous river to fish a with a two handed rod, a skagit head, sink tip and big intruder flies.
