W4F - Fly Fishing Jurassic Lake - Patagonia, Argentina

Ken Tanaka of Wish4Fish is back on the water. This time fly fishing in Patagonia, Argentina, and the world-famous Jurassic Lake.
I had an incredible time fly fishing in Patagonia Argentina. Jurassic Lake was definitely a premiere destination and lived up to its name. Jurassic Lake Lodge is located right on Strobel Lake, next to the mouth of the Barrancoso River. Jurassic Lake was first named that so people could not locate it on the map. This is truly a special place. One of the best destination fly fishing locations in the world.

Thank you very much. That’s definitely the most challenging part. That’s why you see me backcasting at times. Definitely good to practice that and casting opposite shoulder. As well as driving it into the wind. Good thing is there are beats that you can SORT of escape the wind a bit.

Hardly call that combat fishing but alright. Trust me, you don’t think anything about it when you’re there. Besides, why would you even want to fish the rest of the lake, when they are all right there.

@realityobservationalist7290 2 жыл бұрын

Now that you had that amazing opportunity to catch so many trophy trout, I'm wondering if you learned anything new regarding playing and landing big fish? We all know hooking big fish is one thing (trout specifically), but landing them is a special skill in itself.

@Wish4Fish 2 жыл бұрын

You are 100% correct on that. Most apparent with BIG Tarpon. I wouldn’t say anything new. Fighting most big fish is generally the same. We also didn’t have much to deal with structure or current wise. The only thing I would say was new was learning how to hold a trout that size. 😂 It has a cankle tail and it’s hard to put pressure against the fan of the tail.

What's your recommended gear setup for fly fishing Jurassic Lake?

@Wish4Fish Жыл бұрын

I would take a 8wt or 7wt with floating line as well as a 5wt or 6wt with floating line. As you saw, you have the opportunity for dry fly action so I highly recommend trying it out. If I don't mention it in the video, you can always see my gear I used in the description box below.

@tcox8729 Жыл бұрын

@@Wish4Fish awesome to know and great video of amazing fish. My last question just because I didn't here or see it mentioned in the description, what size leader are you using. Would a 4x 9ft tapered leader work well or would I need a stronger leader?

@Wish4Fish Жыл бұрын

"x" more like POUNDS. I was using 20lb leaders straight. As well as 20lb butt section with 12lb tippet. They will have tippet there for you. You're not going to go through much tippet anyways.

Hi Ken, I have a couple questions about you trip. I have a trip plan to JLL in October. 1. When did your trip take place? 2. How many rods did you take with you? 3. It looks like you drove to the lodge, how was the drive? I’m supposed to fly to lodge but as of now the charter is shut down because of Covid. 4. Did you take anything with you that you didn’t need. 5. Is there anything you didn’t take that you wish you did? 6. Any tips to make to make this trip as smooth as possible would be great. Thanks Mark

@Wish4Fish 2 жыл бұрын

I was there in November. I took 2 8wt and 2 5wt. Just so I had a backup in both. The drive wasn't bad, around 5hrs. I slept most of the way both ways. Unless they sort out the charter situation by then you will most likely drive as well. I am a very experienced traveler so I have everything nailed down. Although I always forget ONE item. Don't forget your outlet power adaptor. Places like this have everything you need.
