JURASSIC LAKE LODGE/ PATAGONIA SEPTEMBER 21 TO 28, 2024

 

Had the opportunity to fish for monster rainbow trout at Jurassic Lake Lodge during September 21 to 28, 2024.  We were greeted by strong winds and frigid air temperatures.  However, the fishing was outstanding.  The top fly was again the white mop.  The rainbows were concentrated on the far right of the river mouth as the flow as changed in recent years.  The water is exceptionally low.  Then was some snow during the week and wind gusts up to 80 mph.   

The rainbows were not concentrated as much as past years most likely to the frigid air temperature.  Our rod guides constantly froze.  The largest rainbow of the week was 20+lbs weighed.  There were numerous in the 17 to 19 lbs range.  

The meals were the best I experienced at Jurassic Lake Lodge.  The road heading into the lodge from the paved highway was recently grated so easy to drive.  Rumor has it a charter will be available soon from Calafate.  

If your to do list is to catch a monster sized rainbow trout, give Jurassic Lake Lodge a try on Lago Strobel in the Patagonia region of Argentina.  I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
