  • NEW YEAR’S FLY FISHING REPORT CHILE 2011

    news years day                   new years picture fish

    OUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION, SPEND MORE TIME ON RIVERS!

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Then one day I was sitting down at our place on the Rio San Pedro and Richard & Diane Collins drove up in their rent a car and asked if we had any openings for the week. Just by luck we had some time right before and after Christmas and took them on the Rio Dios for a nice summer time float for trout & steelhead.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Richard hooked up right away on a nice trout that screamed out line as I rowed the boat aside to the bank and jumped out into what looked to be about 2 feet of water, little did I know it was like 6 feet and my Ipod got dunked and was never heard from again…

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     A nice start to a fine day indeed!

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Not more than 100 yards further down river we hooked into another trout and Richard commented on how strong these trout were.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Way to go Richard this guy was a beauty!

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     The views were fantastic and off in the not so far distance we could see the mountains of Patagonia Argentina.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     We stopped for a break in the day and had one of Carola’s famous gourmet streamside lunches. Folks I am so happy to annouce this was Richard and Diane’s 49th Wedding Anniversary, what a goal for Carola and I!! That would make me 92 years old, hope I’m still rowing doubles, I mean even rowing my boat!

    wedding annivesary   http://www.simmsfishing.com 

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     At lunch we had an awesome chicken dish called Cazuela, infamous in Chile, made legendary by my wife Carola!

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     After that great lunch it was Diane’s turn to start hooking up on trout.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

    What a nice trout she landed indeedy folks!

     

     happy new year 3

     May 2011 be a prosperous one for you and your family. Debarb that hook partner and all is good for the next hook-up.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Ah, the double hook-up ~ Not overated Sizzlers!

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Hefty hangs to the lefty trout!

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Then Diane was socking it to them out of the back. I might also mention Diane was one of the best back seat fishers I’ve seen in a while. On this day she never lost a fly

    (Job Security for me if you do, so don’t worry that’s why I tie all my own flies in Chile).

     That’s a bruiser Diane way to go!!

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Then she hooked up again Sizzlers!

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     That looks like steelhead to me! What a fantastic first day both Diane and Richard commented as they hooked into over 20 trout & steelhead.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Christmas was the next day as we guided them on Christmas Eve and I got home and Carola had this wonderful meal ready for our first Christmas alone in our new B&B in Chile.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     What a fantastic dinner it was as we buy these terrific range fed chickens by a local farmer that are huge, delicious and free of the things the mass merchants add to food that we shouldn’t be eating.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Carola’s dessert was also fantastic and I had kind of a tear in my eye of gratefulness to have found such a great partner in life. I love my wife Carola!

     The next day we opened our gifts in the morning and I scratched my scratcher and won nothing, but felt like I had so much to be happy about. I was there with my wife next to my side with football games on my Dish TV, it was just like being back in California except no snow..

     Next we drove Diane and Richard down to the Lakes District of Chile and fly fished on the Rio Maullin near Puerto Montt & Puerto Varas.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     This river is like fishing on the Amazon with 90% of Chile’s birds living within the flora and this cool Roble tree with this plant growing out of one of its branches that looked to me like Tina Turner’s hair..

    (Better be good to me!)

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     Then Richard hooked up on a total lunker brown trout.

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     The trout was big but Richard hands were even bigger!

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     The we hooked into this prehistoric looking fish that I think was related to a perch…?

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     We took a day off and 2 days later we floated a private section of the Rio Petrohue, it was another great day out ont he river. Except for the tabanos (Horse Flies).

     Enjoy this video from Youtube Sizzlers!

     http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     What a nice brown trout Richard landed, he said this trout hit like a freight train.

     

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     All day we hooked into trout as we made our way down the 10 mile drift.

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     Then we heard the crashing of thunder way off in the distance and thought could it be, rain on a perfect sunny 90 degree day? We could see that clouds were forming on the volcano Osorno in the same way storms are made on Mount Shasta in Northern California.

    http://www.brodin.com   The only net you should buy!

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     Little by little our perfect sunny day was dissapearing fast and we started to see lightning.

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     That’s Southern Chile for ya, bring all clothes you can for the four seasons in one day.

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     The trout were still bitting though…

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     Especially anytime we got near a structure of logs and stumps.

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     Nice spunky monkey Richard landed.

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     We stopped for a another fine meal by my wife and enjoyed a bottle of one of Chile’s finest wines for the price.

     Then Diane went on a tear people as she landed trout after trout, it was like Richard just handed over trout torch!

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     Diane hooked into a smaller sea run brown from the ocean!! That’s a prize anytime we hook and land one of these beauties. Brownie Points Diane!!

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     I can always tell it’s a sea run brown because;

    1. Undammed rivers are most important to keep this trout thriving in Chile.

    2. Hologram silver color.

    3. Less dots usually only on the top section above the lateral line.

    4. Usually a bluish color on the gill plate.

    5. grow to enormous proportions, especially in the far south of Chile.

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     Then Diane hooked into this nice rainbow to complete her day! I know now where they coined the term “Knuckle Head!” Look at this trout closely…

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     Diane & Richard thanks for looking us up in the Fodor’s travel book!

     New Years Eve we hung out with Carola’s family and celebrated the coming of 2011 with great food and spirits!

    (Hey folks, notice the Twin Towers poster that was purchased in 1999. fricking epic! I get a chill in my bones everything time I see this picture and the metaphor behind the scene.)

     http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     Carola’s mom ~ Nilda Paicil & Grandma Celia, two of the sweetest ladies I know that love me and have totally accepted me as their son to Carola. 

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=10371

     New Years came and there we were, celebrating togetherness, something the United States Immigration has made so hard for us.

    PUTZ!

    Armando Paicil

     Carola’s dad Armando Paicil was a great man who lost his life to cancer at 67 years old, exactly one month to the day after my father Raymond passed. (The hardest part was being married yet seperated because the the USA Immigration) We will always honor the 7th of any month as we both lost our fathers on this day. Armando will never be forgotten as he was always so special to me and Carola and supported us through everything we had endured. I thought it was so brilliant of him to have a poster of the Twin Towers in New York with the Statue of Liberty he bought for his house in 1999. He loved America and embraced the idea of his daughter one day living with me in the United States. I am personally grateful to have met him and have his blessing to marry his daughter, I would just want him to know that Carola will always be taken care of by me in his honor and because I am good husband.

    Dear Jack,

    I was wondering if you might have some availability in Chileduring the March 2011. My wife and I are coming down from Sacramento to Peru for a couple days on business and would like to come and spend 4 to 7 days with you if possible.  The plan now is to leave Sacramento on March 5 and come home March 19 or 20. I am somewhat flexible as to dates but wold like to know what you might have available so I can start to firm things up. Also, my wife loves the outdoors but does not fish and would rather not spend days on a drift boat. It appears from your web site that there are other options for a non-fishing wife. Do you have any suggestions I can entice her with?

    Thanks in advance. 

    Yours truly, 

    John Angerer

    Hi Jack,
      I hope you enjoyed the holidays,  It has been quite cold and snowy here so Im even looking more forward to visiting the southern hemisphere for the first time.
      I have a few questions for you regarding our trip or actually the part of our trip when we will be traveling to and from you. 
     1.  Is it possible to fish for seatrout or salmon along the coast the first half of feb?
    2. DO we need to pre-arrange a visa for argentina since we will be crossing a remote boarder.
    3.  Can you tell me a few patterns and sizes that we should tie up before our trip.
      Thanks and Im looking forward to your detailed plan for us for traveling and fishing.
      Ranjit

    Jack,    Another earthquake??  Are you guys OK where you are?  Hopefully it wasn’t close and won’t effect you at all.  It looks like I have a new hip and back surgery in my future….falling apart!!   Anyway, I can sit and tie flies and have been making some to send to you.  What is your mailing address down there?  I’ll pack them up and send them along as soon as I can.  I hope your New Year is your best one yet.  Keep your tip up.   Mike Foster

    Hi Jack

    I got your latest blog posting celebrating the New Year. Hope you and Carola are doing well. Was fortunate to get out fishing with Walter on New Year’s day and the day after so I’m feeling rejuvenated from a long semester with nose-to-the-grind-stone. Sure miss the relaxing time I had with you two in Chile. Once i retire in a couple of years, I’ll make my way back down there.

     

    Attached are a few pictures of some hot fish that we got into about two miles from the Ocean. They were a lot easier to hook that the were to land!

    My best to both of you and have a Kuntsmann for me, Smiley

    Jack and Carola,

     

    Happy New Year, and we hope that the Earthquake yesterday has not bothered the fishing. 

     

    We are planning a trip next Holiday to Argentina and want to head south to do a little fishing on that trip.   We know you are the foremost expert and want to know what you would suggest.  Maybe we can get out the CA this summer and fish with you as Austin has really been hit with the fly fishing bug.
