Opening two week report for Jurassic Lake Lodge

It is estimated that over 6,000 trophy rainbow trout where landed in the first two weeks of Jurassic Lake Lodge's 2017 season.  The Barrancosco River is in excellent shape  with good water levels and an abundance of snow on the mountains ready to melt. 
Numerous chromers have been landed up to 20 lbs and many of the fly guys have been catching them on dry flies in mouse patterns.
All three beats, the river mouth, Bay of Pigs, and first pool in the River have been productive.
The new client lodge is just about ready and should be ready to go in a couple of weeks.

SIMMS MEN'S GUIDE FLEECE BIBS

On my recent trip to Jurassic Lake Lodge in Patagonia Argentina, I knew the morning temperatures would be frigid.  So, I bought a pair of Simms Fleece Bibs to wear under my waders.  They were just what the doctor ordered.  Super warm and they stretch to give full range of motion.  The bibs are constructed of breathable material and have zipper front entry.  There are 2 pockets in the chest and stretch woven stirrups to prevent them from slipping off under your waders.  I wish I have purchased these years ago for my numerous trips to Alaska and the Arctic Circle, N.W. T. Canada.   I highly recommend these bibs also for ice fishing. 

JURASSIC LAKE LODGE, PATAGONIA ARGENTINA OCTOBER 23-27 2017

Recently had the opportunity to return to the world's best rainbow trout fishing which is located in Jurassic Lake in Argentina Patagonia.  Our group of nine arrived in the remote town of El Calafate and took a 6 hr ride to the lodge which sits on the banks of the Barrancoso River.  The fishing was beyond belief.  We averaged an amazing 100 TROPHY RAINBOWS PER PERSON PER DAY, for a total of over 4,000 bows for 4 1/2 days of fishing with the majority topping the 10 lbs mark and a few in the upper teens with the largest 2 in at 20 lbs.Best Rainbow Fishery on Earth!

  About 20 years ago the Argentine government stocked McLeod strain rainbows into these waters with the hope of commercial use.  The program was aborted and the rainbows grew to tremenedous sizes due to the abundance of scuds to feed on.   We fished at the lower stretch of the Barrancoso River that runs into the lake as well as right at the mouth as it runs into the Lake.  Also, the Bay of Pigs was fished which is known for monster sized rainbows.
All spots are about a 5 minute walk from the lodge for fishing can be done all day if desired.  The weather was cold as he had a few snow flurries one morning and noticed flows of ice coming down the river.  On our departure we took the lodges charter flight which is about 1 hour 15 minutes to the town of Comodoro Rivadavia then about a 2 hr flight to Buenos Aires on Aerolingus Argentinas.  This was my third trip to the lodge.  Owner, Carlos Casanello is doing of wonderful job with the lodge.  He currently has a new guest building just about completed which has spacious rooms facing the river/lake with large bay windows.  Each room hold 2 guests.  Also a wader drying room is under construction.  Jurassic is know for forceful winds so boats are not used or needed.  All fishing is either done from the bank or wading.  Cannot wait until next October to return to the Best Rainbow Trout Fishing on Earth!
