Type of Water: Freshwater
Species: Sea-Trout
As usual the fishing season started the first day of November. And judging by the results achieved by Diego Motter, it looks like it's going to be a very good 2015 Season.
It's been one of the wettest winters in the last few years, so we all expected a big river. Despite the quantity of water, the transparency was quite good! (about two feet of visibility).
The landscape is amazingly green, saturated with humidity, and many of the dry lagoons are now fully charged - perfect for juvenile sea-trout.
Diego landed about a Dozen sea trout and a huge 26 pound Chinook Salmon. The sea trout were between 4 and 14 pounds.
A very long cast was needed to have a chance of connection with the fish. Diego fished with other locals that couldn't reach the zone, so they had zero fish.

We mostly find the fish at this stage of the season on wide and shallow pools such as Confluencia, where the fish seem to be more comfortable.
The speed of the water is a factor that makes the use of fast sinking tips a must. Lines such as T-17 and T-20 were needed for getting down as fast as possible.
The top flies were large leaches, specially chartreuse and black.
We think that the river may have changed some due to the erosion during this winter and early spring. We are really looking forward to exploring, in depth, the rest of the river.
We will keep you updated!
Cheers and looking forward to seeing you all,
