Shop For Your Next Tierra del Fuego Fly Fishing Adventure
Located at the southern tip of Argentina and South America, Tierra del Fuego is regarded as one of the most productive sea-run brown trout fisheries on earth. Two-handed rods are common here to cover big water, and cold temperatures and heavy winds mean anglers need effective and high-quality wading gear and apparel.
Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industry’s foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing in Tierra del Fuego, anglers can expect to fish nymphs and streamers on a variety of line weights for sea-run brown trout. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twenty-four flies or a more adequate selection of thirty six flies.
What Sizes and Colors? Larger nymphs are better here, with nymphs ranging from size 10-14. Stonefly imitations range between 8 and 12.
Important Notes: Standard beadhead nymphs are common such as hare's ear and pheasant tails, as are stonefly imitations such as Pat's rubber legs and Bitch creek.
What Weight? For single-handed rods, a 9 to 10-foot 7, 8 or 9-weight is common. Spey rods are popular in this region for their ability to cast further with ease. Anglers should bring at least two rods to accommodate different approaches and as a backup.
Anglers should bring multiple fly lines including weight-forward floating lines. In addition, intermediate and sink tip lines are necessary. For spey anglers, bring both skagit floating or intermediate and a mix of sinking heads.
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience.
