More Information
Patagonia is a land of awe-inspiring immensity as vast as it is varied, and offers every conceivable type of fly water and scenery. It is one of the last remaining fly-fishing frontiers on earth, and in its more remote areas is still a sparsely inhabited frontier land as trackless and wild as it was centuries ago, where many lakes and rivers remain relatively unknown and unexplored by fishermen. Mattison and Jones traveled the entire length of Argentine Patagonia, fishing and camping, from Aluminé to Ushuaia, and most places in-between. In Fly-Fishing in Patagonia, Mattison and Jones have done much to help fill the large gap in information that hangs over Patagonia. Flyfishermen will find: a description and history of Patagonia; the trout in the region, past and present; basic logistics for travel to this immense and varied land, including advantages and disadvantages for each season; what to bring; tackle; flies; regulations; transportation; the people; the waters in Neuqen, Río Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz, and Tierra del Fuego provinces; and so much more.
