The guides cook lunch stream side, the best we've ever had. The also serve soft drinks, beer, and wine during lunch. The wine is exceptional.Deerdude said:

I'm so envious. Love that region and being carnivore, pretty impressed with the cuisine.
Thanks for this thread.

Another windy, brutal day today. We fished on Lago Numero 5. I had a hookup with a nice, +/- 23" brown but it jumped out of the water and spit out my fly. Tomorrow will be a spring creek. Hoping for a better day.
OEFM & OEFL ready to hit the lake fishing

Federales checking Melissa's fishing license. They saw the photo on mine and said, "El Guapo!"

I'm not going to lie, fishing has been tough this week. It's been windy as hell until today, our last day before heading to Buenos Aires.
But with the pressure on, I rallied, catching a 20" brookie, a 22" rainbow and a 28" rainbow, my personal best. The guides at Patagonia River Guides here are top notch as is the lodge and its staff.

At Patagonia River Guides they give you a giant sticker if you land a fish over 25". Today was my official sticker ceremony ( they handed it to me as we were loading up to leave). Our guide friend Newe is holding Melissa Robertson Johnson's sticker for her fish.
Ate the bodies of water you're fishing down there open to the public, or located on private land?
Congrats! I have one of those as well.
I fished with them out of Trevalin and we fished a mix of public and private. They have access to private ranches with amazing water on them.

Are the trout introduced? If introduced, what are the native fish in those waters? Those are great looking fish.
So happy that you got to do this trip. Y'all deserve like no other. Be blessed.

We should start a secret club. Oops, I spilled the frijoles.

Mostly on private estancias.
We left Tres Valles Lodge yesterday and arrived in Buenos Aires where we'll be until Friday. We slept in until nearly noon after going hard all last week. Melissa's bag had been opened at the Esquel airport and her Patagonia puffy coat taken. Oh, well. The PRG folks are helping us to file a claim with Aerolineas Argentinas so we can show the travel insurance company we took all the appropriate steps before filing a claim.
We're taking it easy here, eating lots of parilla, doing some shopping and sightseeing. I'm going to buy a set of good steak knives mañana. I'll post a few pics but not nearly as exciting as fish pictures.
Here's a nice fish Melissa caught on her last day fishing.

We went to La Carniceria fir dinner tonight. We may have had the best steak we've ever eaten. It will be interesting to see how Don Julio's compares on Thursday night.

Regarding dinner, I'll report back in Don Julio after we eat there. It's supposed to be ranked the number on steakhouse in the world.
Today's food tour just got interesting.
Wow........ that is one big omelet
