    At Grandma’s house the kitchen always smells daily of fresh baked Kuchen, cakes and tortas. It’s always a sweet place to be and right now the fruits are in season.



    Carola’s grandma is a warm spirited lady, full of life and love.

    I was too young to know either one of my Grand Mothers, maybe this
    was destiny in many more ways than I once thought.

    Saludos Grandma, and thanks for all you do for us!

    Love, jack & carola



    My first Christmas away from home was wonderful! Chileans celebrate Christmas at midnight on December 24th. The best part was seeing this fine reindeer……



    Another fine wine is available at the Urbano pub in Puerto Varas.



    My first guide trip of the season was a call I received from a person I met on the plane the first time I came to Chile some 16 years ago. His name was Foster Reed and he brought his son Hugh from San Francisco to learn a little more about fly fishing.



    On his first cast he caught a trout!



    It fought hard running into the crystal blue green waters and I instructed Hughey on how to land him.

    Foster was still getting ready when he looked up and said with a smile, “Did he catch that on his first cast?”.




    One of the greatest pleasures as a guide is to witness a novice land his first fish. It wasn’t the first time Hughey landed a trout, but it was a great day for him to turn the corner and really embrace the sport his father honored for so many years.

    It always amazes me how a river and a fly rod can bond a father and son, for its these things we have at our finger tips that are passed on to future generations, and some day Hughey will do the same
    for his boy or girl.



    Job-Security……




    Soon after that Foster hooked up on two trout!




    Two trout on the same line! I have never seen this before, and it’s a brown and a rainbow to boot. These fish are starving from the long Patagonian winter.




    Next, Foster broke out his spey rod and casted literally half way across the river. He got a big bump on his third strip……



    This guy sure could cast his spey rod a mile, the perfect place to swing flies is here!



    Glacier blue green beauty…



    The zorro looking so good and healthy.



    We then headed over to Carola’s cousins ranch to have a holiday asado, enjoy family and eat wonderful food.



    The lamb in Chile is always divine!



    Juan Carlos was getting me excited about the fishing we had planned for the next day in his favorite setting position.



    I sat dreaming about what the river would bring me tomorrow.



    The drift boat was homemade and looked brand spanking new. The corded seats looked wrong but I was mistaken as they were perfect in every way. It was a very comfortable ride from the start to the finish…

    You’ll see why!



    Commander Cody was ready to come along, maybe on another day he could possible row the boat or just point us in the right direction.



    Juan took the front and I always love the back, the drift was ever so near now.



    The top was raw and freestone with lots of riffles and structure as the bottom near where it spills was flat and calm.



    The cut bank and a fence that lost its role in life, hanging and praying for more life on Earth.



    A structure hotel for browns, rainbows, coho and chinook. This felt like one of those days, if you know what I mean……



    Views like from another planet with little grass haired men who stood looking at us from the left hand side of this picture laughed and stared as they welcomed and wished us good fishing that day.



    So many great places to stick a fly and unbelievable beauty everywhere I looked.



    A nice rainbow was landed.



    Striking and stunning, a place to be now.



    Then closer to where the rio spills its pride, a massive calculating sea-run brown took my articulating fly and I was only left to land the beast!



    So I respected him and watered him correctly as though to worship his take of my fly.



    (In a Morgan Freeman Voice)

    And there I stood in the Patagonia of my dreams, only to know so little about how this all came about. For it was written in the stars above formed millions of years ago as volcanic eruptions and receding glaciers carved paths for riverbeds and lakes that fed into oceans and then came all of its inhabitants, with an instinct
    to run rivers, reproduce and survive.

    Jack Trout



    I am haunted by the waters of the Patagonia. They lay flowing in order in which I’ve found them throughout my years and I will join them one day forever as they have claimed my soul, my heart, my life.



    Down a little further, something didn’t look right? It was a calf that had fallen off a small cliff and for sure was faced with death
    if not found by us or another within days…..



    I looked up to see hopelessness and it stared us both in the eyes.



    It was good day to ride a calf up the river, something I had never practiced for. The calf seemed to be desperate enough and offered no advice nor resistance as I led him to freedom.



    Cow Freedom! It felt good to save his life and watch him head towards the light of his family and friends, will he remember this?

    Please watch this amazing video to find out, if this don’t make you tear up something is wrong my friend >

    http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2008/07/eat-your-heart.html



    I saluted the river that yielded me my finest hours, only to witness its ever so flowing ways into the sea. Journeys in which mankind can embark, cherish and remember. For it is these times you only get one shot at so make it your best and show up on time, the clock is ticking……



    Bees lay pollen on their boots to feed a hungry colony of friends and family braced in a world of continuous color and scent.



    With the sky as their back-drop, they honor the one who rules back at home.



    The bloom is on in Chile and Argentina as summer draws ever so near
    another flower blooms now.



    Time to tie dries for a very special spring creek that goes off every afternoon like clock-work…



    The Chilean country road, a place to share a ride with a love one.



    Fields of colors and flowers making this a fine garden summer in the Patagonia sunshine.



    With one very special flower waiting here for you.



    Lodging is always good here, with comfort found in every way possible.



    Carola swings like a little girl, so happy we’re finally together as we have found out today the Chilean Government is giving us $$ to buy a new home.



    A new chance to rebuild and move on, forgetting the problems of the past and are never ending battle against a volcano that took us for everything.

    Together, nothing can beat us. Love knows no boundaries, along side of me is where she always belongs.



    Come float with me in the Patagonia and forget 2008!!

    Remember those mayflies I tied? Caught 12 in 40 minutes on this very special spring creek right outside my back yard!!

    Hope to see you down here my friends!

    Next, stay tuned as Scott Miller and Dave Harker from Idaho Falls
    come down for their 10 day adventure!!



    Thanks for watching our adventures!

    Cris went down to the house this morning to check on the kitties, they’re fine. The kids did get the monitor up and running, he said the house looks clean and it’s warm inside. It’s pouring down rain now and wiping out our snow. What kind of temps do you have in Chile?

    Happy New Year,
    Linda


    Jack

    us both.

    Thought you might enjoy this read. This is an interesting website. Hope
    you and your sweet lady have some happy holidays. I’ll talk to you in
    the Spring and we’ll set up some more awesome trips.

    Jack, some freinds and I will be heading to Tierra Del Fuego in a couple of
    weeks and are hoping to fish for sea run browns in the Rio Grande. I
    understand the lower portion is public access and some estancias open to the
    public on saturdays. I havent been able to find out who to cantact about
    fishing on private land without paying a lot of money. Do you have any
    suggestions about where to fish or who to get in touch with about access
    specifics? Also are there areas to camp near the lower river or is that in
    the town of Rio Grande.
    Thanks for your help,

    Nick


    There are 3 of us traveling 3 adults including 1 flyfisherman. Are there any
    tours during Christmas week? Snowshoeing? Hiking or viewing sites?

    Alison


    Hi Jack,

    Hope all is well in Chile. We just got the new ghost bags for the Excalibur this week and
    I just sent them to you. I think you will like it.
    They told me at the post office that it would take about 2 to 3 weeks to deliver to Chile from my offices in Coasta Rica.

    You owe me $28 for shipping.

    Best,

    Chris Brodin http//www.brodin.com


    Hey Jack,

    I’ve been cruising your website and have got to say your operation
    down there looks awesome. I am going to be backpacking around
    Puerto Montt, the Lakes District, and Parque Pumalin for the first 3
    months of ’09 and had some questions.

    Where are you based out of and do you do 1 day guided trips?

    Can you suggest a couple rivers in Parque Nacional Puyehue or Parque
    Pumalin where one might go for some quality fly fishing?

    Thanks for any input!

    James


    Hey Jack,
    That sea run sure looks like one of the leprechauns I am searching for – they ride around
    the world inside the anadromous travelers, and when you get one you have to say – ok you
    bastard ! I’ve got you now !
    And if you are lucky it will offer to grant you any wish if you will only let it go.
    And so you wish for the chance to catch another one, then let it go.

    Thanks for the day. Let me know if you want help with a letter for referrences for past Chile clients!!

    Best regards to Carola – Foster


    Jack, prospero ano nuevo to you and Carola. I mailed a check today for a four pack deal. With the holidays it might take a few days to get there, but it is on its way to Mt. Shasta. I’ve got some flies ready to mail too. I’ll send them to the Chile address. Hopefully they will get some fish like that monster you got!!! WOW! I’m jealous. We can just do a one day thing in April for the other day we have. We’ll figure that out when you get back here.

    Hope the New Year will hold many good things for you. Mike
