Argentina over New Years

[Brian Sloss]

I took a long awaited trip to Bariloche, Argentina in the Patagonia region and absolutely loved it.  We spent a week fishing from Dec 28 to Jan 4.  We were there during a time that the biggest fish were in the lakes rather than in the rivers, but we still caught plenty of fish.  Getting there is a long process, but once there it is very affordable if you are more of a do it your-selfer.  We hired guides for a day on the Limay and Manso rivers and then fished on our own on a number of wadeable rivers. The guides are first rate, by the way. www.troutbariloche.com  By the way, the food there is second to none.  If you have ever wanted to go, I would be happy advise you how to do it much cheaper than you might have imagined.  I posted a couple of pictures here, but a lot more can be found on my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/brian.sloss.5

Looks like a great trip and quite an adventure.

Did you get to do any dove or duck hunting?

Man that looks and sounds awesome.  I just got caught up on the History Channels 'Alone' series which is in Patagonia this year.  Looks like a place I could get lost in for a few months!

Any chance you could post some more fish pics for us non facebookers?

Thanks for sharing!

Looks like a great trip.  Terrain reminds me of central Washington.

Wow.  Beautiful wilderness there.  The water looks pristine too.  Someday I will make it there...
