Anglers around the world are discovering the phenomenal fishery of Argentina. The author of Argentine Trout Fishing has been traveling to South America on a regular basis since the early 1960s and presents his knowledge of the country, its waters, and the formidable salmonids that thrive in those waters to the fly-fisher who enjoys wetting a line in an exotic locale. The where, when, and how are all covered, along with recommended tackle and technique for fishing Argentina. Finally, all this pertinent information is presented in an entertaining, narrative style that delights in Argentinean flora, fauna, geography, and culture as much as the country's excellent fishing.

Best book on Flyfishing in Argentina ever written October 4, 1999
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
Despite having fished in Patagonia for 20 years, I learned more with this book than with all the local (argentine) literature. Essential guide for anybody going to Patagonia for the first time. The history of how trouts were introduced in Argentina is fascinating. Having fished the Malleo, Chimehuin and other fabled rivers myself I think the books reccomendations are dead on. The author should update some of the info.
 Great for the history, outdated for practical information. January 9, 2005

The Author hasn't updated the guide because he's been dead for 13 years. At the time I'm sure it was excellent, but now it's time has passed. The history of troutfishing hasn't changed, but the rivers have. Some of the places he described as idyllic aren't, some of the rivers he denigrates are fantastic.
