The Biggest Rainbow Trout of My Life — Jurassic Lake, Argentina

I was a teenager when I first saw photographs of Jurassic Lake in a fishing magazine. Rainbow trout the size of a child, in a remote lake in Patagonian Argentina. It went straight to the top of the bucket list — and stayed there for thirty years. This is that trip. Four days at Lago Strobel; one of the most extraordinary rainbow trout fisheries on the planet. Wind, rain, heat, and conditions that kept us guessing every single day. From aggressive dry fly eats to technical sight nymphing on the Barrancoso River, this place demands everything you have and gives back more than you could possibly expect. And on the final morning — the biggest rainbow trout of my life. Some dreams are worth the wait.
