Argentina. Fishing here is like being awake within a dream. Ten times the size of New Zealand and all but unexplored compared places like the United States.. the opportunities for any angler in this unknown Argentina are more than endless and almost overwhelming.. Millions of years of wind and water have cut the towering peaks of the Andean expanse into a visual splendor unlike any I’ve ever seen.
Mendoza.. A city, a region, a bridge between worlds? In this rugged landscape, both familiar and foreign. The Gauchos still herd their stock wild and free.. Titanic Condors cast their ominous shadows across the endless glacial grey.. and the braids of Silver house some of the best fly fishing the world has yet to see.
From tranquil spring creeks tucked away on top of the world, to intimidating opaque torrents cutting through desolate desert, the FLY ALL SZN crew will be embarking on a once in a lifetime adventure in the southern hemisphere. A myriad of New sights, New sounds, and hey even new friends. Learning about the culture and cuisine all through the lens of a fly rod.. Deep in the heart of the Andes mountains and far away from anything we’ve ever known, this is the set and setting for an unforgettable trip..
~Kyle Bakko~ (He tied the hoppers for the trip) IG: @bigskybum Not only is he an Umpqua signature tyer, but he’s also just an all around great dude. He was willing to spend his very valuable time whipping up some of his killer hoppers for these hungry Argentinian Trout! Can’t thank you enough! Go give all of his stuff a look and don’t be afraid to pick up a couple bugs too!
