Bringing hooks on a flight could be a problem.

Most airlines do not allow you to bring your flies with hooks on board. Do instead as we do: use tube flies and get them on board in your hand luggage (alongside your favourite fly reels); this way, you won’t be without flies when you arrive at your fishing destination.

Southern sea trout

The sea trout’s elusive nature and the thrill of the catch of a monster-size trout make Argentina and the Rio Grande River in Tierra del Fuego a dream destination for sea trout enthusiasts.

Anglers often use a variety of streamer patterns and nymphs to mimic the prey that sea trout feed on in both freshwater and marine environments. Still, anglers visiting Argentina have also learned that sea trout are eager surface feeders who will go to great lengths to intercept wake, riffling hitch, and dry flies.

For many years, we have made such surface flies for people fishing for sea trout in Argentina, but for this season, we also sell some of the most favoured nymph and streamer patterns.

The climate is changing 

The climate is changing, and so is fishing for salmon. The last decade has been unusual with radical weather changes, and dry and hot summer weather has been dominant in large parts of the north – 2022 was no exception and rivers in the north saw weeks without rain – and again, the season brought new challenges – or opportunities.

Det kan være et problem at medbringe kroge på en flyvning. 

De fleste flyselskaber tillader ikke, at du medbringer dine fluer med kroge om bord. Gør i stedet som vi gør: brug rørfluer og tag dem med ombord i din håndbagage (sammen med dine yndlingsfluehjul). På denne måde vil du ikke være uden fluer, når du ankommer til din fiskedestination.

Sydlige havørreder

Havørredens spændende adfærd og tanken om at fange en monste ørred gør Argentina og Rio Grande-elven i Tierra del Fuego til en drømmedestination for havørredentusiaster.

Fluefiskere i Argentina bruger ofte en række streamermønstre og nymfer til at efterligne byttet, som havørreden lever af både i ferskvand og havet. Fluefiskere, der besøger Argentina, har også erfaret, at havørreder er ivrige overfladejægere, som vil svømme langt for at, fange wake, hitch og tørfluer.

I mange år har vi lavet sådanne overfladefluer til folk, der fisker efter havørreder i Argentina, men fra sæson 2023 sælger vi også nogle af de mest foretrukne nymfe- og streamermønstre.

Se om der er nogle, der passer til dit hjemmelige vandsystem.

Klimaet ændre sig

Klimaet ændrer sig, og det samme gør fiskeriet efter laks. Det sidste årti har været usædvanligt med radikale vejrændringer, og tørt og varmt sommervejr har været dominerende i nogle dele af Norden – 2022 var ingen undtagelse, og elve i nord oplevede uger uden regn – og igen bragte sæsonen nye udfordringer – eller muligheder.

Fighting big fish on small hooks doesn’t have to be so dramatic – it can be – but if you are careful and take it easy, the fish will often be compliant and finally come to you. You will need to prepare a bit for this kind of fishing, and here are some things you can do to make things work.

Use a fly reel that has a light ratchet or an adjustable brake that will allow you to control a decisive run where you have to admit line out quickly.

Use (as we do) a soft tippet material on your leader…We prefer soft nylon-like: Maxima Chameleon or Original Streen. These nylon brands will stretch when under strain…something quite valuable when the fish jumps or shakes its head.
