The Argentine Patagonia and especially the city of Bariloche has started its 2022/2023 fly fishing season. Remember that the fishing season in southern Argentina begins on November 1 and ends on April 30.
The 2022/2023 fly fishing season will be very promising for lovers of this discipline. The abundant winter snowfalls make rivers and lakes have a very good flow and improve navigability in search of large trophy fish. Already in the first days of November trout of very good size have been found in the Manso river. These conditions augur that there will be very good fishing during the months of December and January with good-sized fishes. The ideal time for dry fly fishing and sight fishing.
The Manso River has the particularity of being a medium to small river where you can fish with dry fly and do sight fishing. This is one of the most fun styles of fly fishing because the fish swim very close to the surface and we can see them. Dry fly lures simulate the shape of an adult insect moving on the surface of the water and it is very exciting to see how a large trout appears from below to eat the fly.
1. Take your time to learn and understand how trout live and feed.
2. Read the water and looking for a shadow in movement. remember that trout stay without spending much energy and choose places where they are safe from predators.
3. Look for small ripples that accompany a small splash on the surface. Now if you keep watching you'll see the trout come to the surface.
4. Take note of the flying insects around you. It's good to know the color of natural insects around you, but having the right size dry fly is a must.
5. Cast Upstream: If a trout sees your line, they won't bite.
