    *****SPRING FLY FISHING / RAFTING TRIPS ON THE UPPER SACRAMENTO RIVER START NOW!! TRIPS BEGIN APRIL 1ST*****



    Isla Molita is a special place in our ever expanding world, these are truly some of the most untouched places on Earth and are in danger of being covered by dams and lost forever as well as many Patagonian rivers. Is it really worth it I ask? Can some places remain sacred and undeveloped? Can we learn from the past and realize that dams and the Earth’s temperatures are being accelerated by man’s need to develop since the start of the Industrial Revolution. In last 30 years the changes have become more evident even to the Human eye and now the changes are coming faster that we ever thought possible. Dams are something we can control though, but the Earth’s temperatures are something we can only hope can be curved by a world commitment towards the future through education. With this knowledge can only then, many generations ahead of us benefit and see a normal world like we have seen in the past. I’m seeing temperatures in Chile and Argentina this season that are not normal for these regions in Patagonia, preceded by dryer colder winter temperatures. Places that are normally 20 degrees lower in average temps and ice glaciers, the true Earth health indicators, that in the past carved the mighty fiords known only in three other places in the world, now are melting faster than ever. We are faced now with the possibility of the disastrous 6 degree ocean climate change, that will change our world as we know it, making the oceans rise as much as 30 meters also affecting areas we rely on for water by becoming high desert dilemmas. Man’s quest for development is a good one, one in which we have all benefited from up to now, but there’s a bigger picture from which we all can learn from and it’s up to everyone us to make change in the way we live, how we dispose of things, how we use products that effect our atmosphere, etc. Our world is becoming smaller than we think, in more ways than one. I’m up for the task and have made a commitment, have you? Sure you can say Mt Shasta , California has had a good snow year, a normal winter, as we say. But I am talking about our world, the big picture, your kids, their kids and our future Mother Earth, she’s been good to us, wouldn’t you agree? Now take care of her. Make a commitment like I have to change something that you do normally that will benefit global warming.

    Jack Trout from Chaiten, Patagonia Chile.





    We use two 2006 Cessna airplanes to fly our customers into Chaiten, Chile. This one in the photograph I took is a 2006 Grand Caravan Turbo and the other aircraft we use is a 2006 Cessna Bi Motor 402 model. Both can land in the water, not that this has happened, but it’s a fact that we’d like to acknowledge. So on this day I was invited for a flight from Puerto Montt into Central Patagonia Chaiten.



    Pilot Pablo Dia ready for action on very sunny day, perfect for flying!



    They sat me up front in the cock-pit with all the controls right at hand! Though I only handled my camera and let the pilot Paublo Dia, do his job like he has done so many times before. The plane accelerated in speed and took off in flight bound for a place not too far by air about 40 minutes.



    We flew over the city of Puerto Montt and I could see the bay where the artesian marketers sold their hand made products, as well as the places in the past I had taken in-coming customers out for lunch. All those great seafood lunches like congrio, merluza and mariscos just below me in birds-eye-view!



    This area is kind of like Sausalito, California but in the 1950’s. It was great it was such a fantastic weather day to shoot pictures and share them with you.



    Views of little islands complimented my travels and this one was really interesting with a natural lake and river that flowed from one side into the ocean. I wondered if salmon or trout ran up it in the winter…? Probably so!



    On the left-hand side I could see the dormant Volcano Michinmahuida, the center of Douglas Topkins preserved national park. A great place for trekking, hot spring lovers and awesome views in every direction headed.



    That just looked like a nice place to be!



    Off in the distance I could see some fiords and more volcanos. It was amazing to see all this by air and I was confident with my pilot Pablo Dia.



    We then were very close to the Volcano Corcovado, said to have had a very minor eruption in the past few years.



    We turned a corner and we headed into the Golf of Corcovado with Chaiten close in view.



    We circled Chaiten and flew over the Rio Negro as we got ready for a smooth landing.



    There it was good ole Chaiten Central Patagonia and the entrance to some of the best places to fish anywhere in the world.



    The day was great for flying and the landing was perfect! Got my bags and drove into Chaiten a few minutes later.



    From Chaiten Cerro La Cruz was an awesome site. I sat there looking at the towering mountain and wondered how our customer Rob Siegel must be doing with Guide Nico Gonzales….? And then it all came to me like in a day dream.



    Rob fish on!



    Way to go! Nico and Rob with a very respectable trout on the Rio Futaleufu.



    The perfect release man!



    Another cast, another hook-up and what incredible scenic beauty!



    Is there anything better than hard fighting trout on dry flies?



    Followed up with a nice brown trout.



    The Andes Mountains are so massive and inimitably gorgeous, the water color is like out of ones wildest dreams and the experience is once in a lifetime!



    Lunch is so divine, complimented with a fine bottle of chilean wine always!



    You can smell your lunch while casting a line in the Patagonia sunshine.



    And do we cook it right? Just how you like it!



    The crags are so incredible, like none you might have ever seen before….



    Rob with another trout on and George Espinoza at the oars! Rob’s a happy camper again!



    Dry fly fishing on the Rio Futaleufu is awesome, I suggest size 18 and 20 though, these fish are smart but powerful!



    Turbo Charged when fooled, hold on to your hat……



    Mr. Ed’s girlfriend! I think she knows something we don’t…..



    Lagoonas are also a great alternative here in Chile, some of the fish grow to epic proportions!



    I think this fish is full of minnows or damsels in distress….



    great hook-ups with a views, life is great in Patagonia!



    Sweet!



    Over on the Lower Futa, things are starting to heat-up!



    Rob Siegel, YOU’RE MY SIZZLER OF THE WEEK AWARD WINNER, CONGRATULATIONS SIZZLER!!




    Could you ever think of damming any Patagonian River in the future? You might think about getting a saliva test, you’re nuts man! Don’t tread on me or the fish that run these rivers because they are worth protecting. There’s unsurpassed beauty and resources that even Charles Darwin would do back-flips over. Get your heads out of your wine glasses, because this land is fruit forward my friends, cabernet sauvignon, pure filet mignon ~ rare!!! Tiramisu for dessert, Buen appetite! jt



    Looks like a great week Nico, way to go!1 Jack Trout



    Over in Puerto Varas, the Chilean flag sails high with pride in central plaza.



    Empanadas a National Chilean favorite! I love them too, especially with some JB Ahi salsa. No one makes them better than a
    good ole Chilean mother in the kichen!



    When in Puerto Varas be sure to visit Alessandro’s Italian Restaurant, it’s an Italian experience!



    The pizza’s get thrown high before baked!



    Pizza’s are always served with a great Chilean smile.



    Beer me please with Kuntsman Toyo Bayo and the slice is right, Bob Barker!



    The pasta is so yummy and freshly made daily.



    Alessandro always hires the babes! What fun place to visit the next time you’re in Puerto Varas, Chile.



    Pisco Sour, the Chilean National Drink! Just drink two though, three and you’re history man! These little concoctions are so delicious, but have the power of a martini and rocket fuel in diguise.



    So I finally met up with Nico and Patricio (Nicknamed ~ Pato) to head down the Carretera Austral on an adventure into some of Chile’s most remote areas. Some parts of this road were built as recent as 1994!



    Mount Pico Morro 2006 Meters. Stay tuned as we continue down the Carretera Austral in future web logs!



    The three amigos having fun, living large!



    Look out, pisco sours unders our belts…. We’re going to party a little as you head off into another land to check in with guide Lloyd and see what’s happening in Belize, Central America. Customers Aaron and Mandy Martin just got married and booked a trip for their honey moon! Yea!



    Nice bone fish Mandy! Looks like you’re getting lots of nice sun down there…



    Aaron’s snapper was quite the catch, and quite the meal afterwards I was told!



    A spotted Eagle Ray right by the boat!



    Lloyd guiding up front looking for bones and fish near the service, while young veteran guide Robbie Nunez steers (10 years old) the flats boat, showing us what the next generation of Belizean guides look like! This kid is amazing, the most well behaved, well-mannered and intelligent kid I have EVER met for his age or even under 14. This kid should be doing seminars in Marin County at the private schools on how to respect everything in life, including adults!



    Bone fish flats never looked so good.



    One day Mandy and Aaron did a reef dive into another world!



    Just call me angel of the morning!



    I had a girlfriend once with those same lips, she used Covergirl!



    Lloyd Nunez, the legend, “The Man!”. Hey let’s go check what’s happening in Northern California!



    It’s snowing and the Trinity River is red hot! Ed Mathews caught many on his two day outing with my guide Aaron Grabiel!



    Johnathan Mathews thought he was Johnathon Winters on this day, but with a million dollar smile on his face.



    Guide Aaron Grabiel, I’ve been there man! It’s snowing hard and life couldn’t better! Aaron enjoys his schooling at Humbolt State University in Northen California, and we wanted to thank all you out there that hire Jack Trout Guide Service in our California winter, because you are paying for his education and putting him through school! Feels good man, youdaman! Thank you so much Grabi for all your great guiding, the customers love you! I hear it all the time!!!! jt



    More happy customers on the Trinity River make life great!



    Thanks for watching our adventures, stay tuned from Patagonia Chile, Belize, Northen California and of course a surprise!
    MANY RIVERS TO YOU, JACK TROUT ~~~ info@jacktrout.com


    EMAILS FROM YOU:
    I spoke with you earlier this year about hiring you for a trip in
    June. That is still in the works. As a reminder, it will be me and
    the two others. This is part of our school district foundation
    fundraiser.
    The fundraiser will occur March 1 and I will schedule right after that.
    My question is, can we use pictures off your web site for our
    fundraiser. Free advertising!

    Hi,
    I am a graphic designer working with California Trout, a non profit organization working to protect rivers in California. Today, I am looking for photos of the McCloud River for a project California Trout is doing to protect that river. I found lovely photos of the McCloud River on your websites (both at jacktrout.com and mtshasta.com) and I was wondering if we could any of them on fundraising mailers. We are always on a short budget and cannot pay for photos so we look for people with an interest in the rivers who will be willing to contribute photos.

    We CAN and will give you photo credit with any printing of the photo!

    For more information on the group see: <http://www.caltrout.org/>

    Of course, when a job gets to me, I am always on a deadline for production. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Sincerely,
    Caroline Tollefson


    Mr. Trout,
    We have an all day tour scheduled for August 16th. If we ordered a box
    lunch from your company, what would be included & what would the cost be?
    This is a senior group, not really big eaters, & they will have had a
    breakfast buffet that morning at the hotel. We usually order something
    like 1/2 sandwich, small salad, fruit, cookie & drink.

    Thank you,
    Sandy

    Hey Jack,

    Got all the info, called jason and dick, they haven’t called back yet…
    Kevin from AAA pools wants a check, I’ll probably be able to get him one on Wednesday…

    I’ll leave an email when I get the card info in for those guys.

    Aaron Greener


    Hello Jack,

    I know it’s aways off, but was wondering what flies we should have with us for the 1/2 day raft trip.

    Hope all is well.

    Thank you.
    Gary Lipking


    Perfect! A mailing address would be great. I don’t trust these dern fax
    machines, especially internationally. I can fedex something to you if you’re
    going to be in one spot in Chile/Arg for a while, or else drop something to
    California and you can sign when you get back (if that’s going to be
    relatively soon).

    So what do you think, what are the top 5 spots for each of the two countries?
    Right now it’s all about wrapping my mind about how to set this up– and
    getting the art department on board too with the layout. Also the main themes
    of the article will most likely be: What to Bring, How to Choose A Guide,
    Where to Go, and What to Expect. If you like those let me know, or if you
    think there might be other topics to touch on let me know that too.

    Best,

    Patagonia?

    Could you go ahead and put us down for May 20th? I haven’t exactly fished that area much, I live in Red Bluff and spend a LOT of time drifting for trout down here. Could you reccommend flies etc. to bring as well as any camping possibilities close by? Thanks much,

    Cool photos..
    Keep up the good work. Looks like chick-heaven down there.

    Great pics on the blog! Parker has lacrosse through April on Saturdays, so if we came in April we would come on a Saturday and fish Sunday. Where would we meet you, somewhere near Redding or farther from SF? The alternative would be to come in May for a weekend if that is not too late.

    Hi Jack,
    It was a great Super Bowl game. I don’t really have a team, so I just enjoy good football, and that was good football. Two Mannings in two years. Archie must be a proud father, as he always played for a lousy team! Since I live in Southeast Florida, all I’ll hear for the next week is how the ’72 team is still the only undefeated team in pro sport history!

    As always, i must point out that you are as good a photographer/story-teller as I have ever met. You seem to enjoy every moment of your life, while still being totally aware of man’s danger to his environment.

    I’ve been married to the same woman for 42 years, but I can still appreciate beauty, and the Chilean girls reming me of the Costa Rican girls, dark hair, dark eyes, and happy beauty!.

    Attached is my wife with a south Florida peacock bass in a little pond where I have a jon boat.

    The California pictures looked cold! I’ll wait for 50’s and 60’s!!

    Continue your Chilean adventures and I look forward to your next EMail.

    Tight lines, Ron Beck


    Awesome, my friend. The volcano and all of what you are seeing is fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Taylor and I are at Mt. Bachelor for 4 days of snowboarding. Lots of great dry snow.

    How≠s the computer? Did you get it under control?

    Have a fucking fantastic time. I know you are.

    Later,

    MW Barrett


    Nice photos Jack.
    Chile looks like a lot of fun!

    Duh Jack….I’m with you on global warming – it’s
    essential that we do something about it. But
    obtaining hydroelectric power from dams is exactly the
    kind of thing that helps us maintain a high standard
    of living without spewing greenhouse gases into the
    atmosphere.

    And you know (probably better than me) that some of
    the most important and highly developed trout
    fisheries in America are the direct result of dams.
    Let’s spend 2 minutes thinking about it, and you and I
    could rattle off a list of at least a dozen such
    fisheries. Hey, don’t forget: even the Futaleufu
    where you fish is a tailwater!

    Many of the rivers in Chile that have been dammed (Bio
    Bio, Maule, Rappel) have not resulted in the loss of
    anything that Chileans consider significant. The
    minimal trade-off for them has been worthwhile. What
    the dams have done, however, is allow Chileans to move
    toward affordable energy independance, and away from
    burning fossil fuels.

    Right now, the most serious effort for a major dam is
    on the lower Baker River. I ask you this: who
    benefits, and who loses with such a structure?

    Literally tens of thousands of Chileans will gain
    access to cheaper, cleaner electrical power. But a
    few dozen gringo fly fishermen will lose a fishing
    spot; they’ll have to fish somewhere else if they
    don’t want to fish the Rio Baker tailwater – which
    will probably develop into a fantastic fishery.

    We have to be careful: denying Chileans an opportunity
    to advance economically, to wean themselves off
    imported oil, comes off as elitist and self-serving.

    ******************************************

    MY RESPONSE TO BILL LEITCH’S LETTER TO ME:

    Bill

    The duh Jack, is really un-necessary and shows your true enlightment in this matter and lack of maturity as well as your empathy towards others who live here (including myself) who will be effected by your so-called economic advancements and global warming benefactors. I assure you when I walk down the streets of every small town and village here in Patagonia and see the “NO DAMS” signs and books in EVERY store, phone center and business as well as full sized billboards, while you sit on your ass in a central heated office, driving to work on a bustling freeway littered with folks with no culture and both parents working to stay afloat. With this in mind, this further assures me that keeping Chile under developed and natural is a cause worth talking about and protecting. Most of the power generated from the Rio Bio Bio, Futaleufu and other rivers you have mentioned is exported to outside countries thus really not supporting the statements you have tried to make just. May I remind you that the Klamath Dam has used up all it’s useful life, what happens when the dam becomes un-fuctional, contaminate and starts spewing out harmful diseases thus effecting habitat such as salmon, steelhead and trout populations. You call Aaron Martin a fisheries biologist for the Klamath River, he’ll tell you that if these dams are not takin out in the next 30 years we are not going to have salmon runs on the Klamath River. 1-707-834-2595.

    Why are all the salmon populations decreasing so rapidly on an annual basis? I have talked about health indicators like the decreasing glaciers are for global warming. Salmon runs are the health indicators for our waterways and something is critically wrong.

    You are mis-informed my friend, the Rio Baker and the Chaiten areas don’t need major development, they need to be left natural and as-is with the culture and live-styles of the people intact. These are absolutely the most precious resources left in our world and are some the lowest density in populations of people per square acre. The natural hardwood forests are also the largest and most un-molested forest left in the world today.

    I know that dams actually benefit fishing making tail-water fisheries more consistant, especially for fly fishing. So your comment once again about coming off as elitist and self-serving is without warrant and flat-out rude. You might want to consider staying out of Patagonia, People like you are not welcomed here by locals, respectfully.

    People like you need to have your heads examined, why do think people travel here to see developments and hydro-electric power lines? Many people around the Baker and all over the country use wind for power or go without power at all. I love taking cold showers on some mornings, the occasional loss of power or internet outages makes me remember the good old days and I go happily without.

    The driving force behind these dam developments are countries outside of Chile.

    I bet you’d love to see a McDonalds in Patagonia, or a Coke Cola bottling plant… Or the way it looks off every exit driving up and down Interstate 5 … Gringo!

    Best Rivers, Jack Trout * From Chaiten, Patagonia Chile.


    Jack,

    Oh I dont bother with the captions, just the pix.
    Do you do any actual reading when you look at Playboy ???

    Today we have bigger houses and smaller families.

    JACK! You’re killing me! We’ve got to find a way to get with you down there soon. Looks too good to be true. See you on the upper Sac this spring in the meantime.

    Dear Jack — I don’t think you’re going to have any problems at all. Your book sounds great — I’ll definitely read it. As for the Fodor’s stuff, I don’t really know how they do what they do, but the basic rule is just tell and good story with anecdotes and make it sound conversational — I know you can do that! Congrats on the new woman — the right one makes it all good.

    Best, John Lescroart


    Jack,

    I kind of remember I dove deep into the Crown bottle!!!!!!!

    If I were to book a trip would you be the guide? What will I need to bring? I
    do not own a fishing rod!!!!
    Would I book a Hotel or you?

    I know…lots of stupid questions!

    Let me know.

    Best,

    Mike Connolly


    Jack, Thanks for the update and beautiful pictures. Planning a trip
    mid July to visit Jason. Hope to get up your way.
