DIY Fly Fishing Argentina: Testimonial

 Today's Blog Post

Welcome to the 2023/24 Argentina Fly Fishing Season

November 1st to May 31st


Our time with Gus got off to a great start - we rented an Airbnb which ended up being just a few houses from his in Junin! 

It's hard to capture all the benefits of fishing with Gus for 2 days but here are a few of the highlights:

- He provided great instruction in casting which we both needed

- He knew the places along the river each day which were the best place to locate fish

- He frequently got out of the boat in the shallows to hold us in place as we casted and also to net the fish

- He provided plenty of details about the geography and history of the areas where we floated 

- After the first float day he recommended we float a different part of the river vs wading/walking - turned out ot be a great decision as we caught more and bigger fish the second day

- He provided great lunches both days

- Needless to say his proficiency in English was invaluable

It was a great experience in many ways. We greatly appreciate the professional and personal service you both provided.

Many thanks and best regards.

Welcome to the 2023/24 Argentina Fly Fishing Season

Both Mark (in Colorado) and Gus (in Argentina) are highly professional with solid communication skills. We floated for 2 days with Gus and he provided great instruction in casting, reading the river, and information about the geography and history of the areas in which we floated. We hoped to catch fish and did just that! Gus frequently got out of the boat to hold it in places where the fishing was hot. He'd also get out to net and release the fish. His proficiency with English was invaluable. Prior to leaving for Argentina Mark provided us with thorough details of everything we needed and recommendations of places to stay in Junin. We strongly recommend you book with First Cast Fly Fishing - they are a first class outfit!
