Nice looking fish. Great scenery. |
||||||||
|

|||||||
Yeah - fat bodied Rainbow rout - lovely. What a blast. Good find, Ripp. Some of those looked to be close to 15 pounds. |
||||||||

I know these guys..actually meeting them up in AK in June for some fishing.. Ripp |

Superb scenery and some ripper fish. Ever since watching the "Trout Bum Diaries" I have wanted to go to Argentina, beautiful place with superb food. Thanks for posting. Waidmannsheil. |

What is the lake actually called? Jurassic Lake or ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Lake Strobel proper name: Lago Strobel |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Just re-watched the video. You'd want at least a 7 wgt. for the lakes and a 9 would not be too big for those huge bows, in the rivers. That gets the old heart muscle pumping. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I have two 8 wts. a 9' and a 10' |

Quote: At the time of the video Katherine Hart was 62, if you see the big wave hit her. She is quite a woman! I am very impressed with her. |

Quote: Missed this video first time through. Hope you have a FANTASTIC time, bstrick. I am jealous. WOW - nice! Good choice as well on the double hander. Nasty wind. That got me pumped! Aerobatics are quite spectacular, but unless you bow to the fish when they are in the air, they can and will spit the hook. My 15' Orvis & 15' Sage 11 & 10 weights would be perfect for this fishing, but the 13/6 10weight Dragonfly would also work well. It's quite a good casting rod. I've caught rainbows EXACTLY like those in the video, but here, we call them steelhead and catch them in the Kitimat and Skeena systems near the West Coast of BC. |

Just got back, if I could get a picture to post from my google shared photos, I would show you a 11 Kilo rainbow. [24 pounds]. Many fish caught. Temps were a bit cold, so fishing was slow. I caught 75-80 fish 8-15#. one 18# male. Lost several BIG wild fish that did not want to be netted. Got broke off on 15# tippet and went to 20#. Super nice people! Guides and staff. Picture |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Great to hear it went well. 24 pounds was my best "steelie". That's a LOT of fish caught/hooked. That's a BIG fish. So deep! The link works now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Here it is. Welcome, Bruce. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Thank You my friend! The second fish is of a 20# BEAUTY caught by Richard. |
||||||||
|

Got time for a story? Another fish is burning into the backing [100 foot line] heading across the lake. I start giving it some brake.........and.........now it has reversed direction and is charging me! As I frantically make huge strips, look for rocks and run out of the water, I hear the Guides laughing! Now the fish cuts to the left......does a 180 and passes in front of me, while speeding off to the right! I don't remember if I landed it or not, but what a fight! Several big and medium sized fish were lost, just because they refused to be netted. Crazy Ass Wild fish......some of them! And, Did I tell you about the food? 5 STARS We ate WELL! |

Sounds just great, Bruce. Fights like that are nor a normal 'thing' in NA, except for some steelies. We do have a lake up here that used to produce up to 13 pound bows, but not any more. What a trip indeed. I've sent some notes to guys in my group along with your pictures and the internet link above, asking if they are interested in this 'jaunt'. Kinda gets the blood pounding, it does. |

Jimmy from Montana Anglers, took the pictures and wrote this. Super nice fellow, they also book trips. https://www.montanaangler.com/montana-fl...019-trip-report I also 'star' in two of these. |

That's cool! |

Would have been an amazing trip! |

Small world is right! Besides the GREAT Fishing, this quote from Jimmy sums up the food: "Aside from my grandmother’s cooking this was the best food week of my life and even my grandmother would have learned a thing or two. The only downside was my pants weren’t as comfortable for the return flights." |

Ripp, have you stopped by and chatted with Jimmy? I am sure he will be glad to talk to you about Jurassic Lake! |

Just saw this post. I have a friend in Missoula that took his Grandson there for graduation gift. Had nothing but praise for the entire trip. Sure sounds like fun. Bob |
