Happy New Year! - December 2019 - El Encuentro Flyfishing

Happy New Year from Patagonia! The heart of our summer season is upon us. We’ve enjoyed long warm days, wonderful guests, and exciting dry fly fishing for feisty trout. 

Heavy rains and early season snow storms in November produced higher than normal flows on our home river, the Rio Futaleufú during December. 

Big water meant big hatches of March Brown mayflies, and exceptional dry fly fishing. We found great fish rising in foam lines, back eddies, and flooded willows.
