Current Report
Fly Fishing in Malleo river
The 22th was the first time
on the Malleo river. The
water was high but not to
much, very cold and clear
too. A sunny day gave us a
beutifull sight of a snowy
Lanin that fill us with joy.
We started below the bridge
of the road to Alumine,
fishing well known pools that
didn't look so good because
of the water level. Very few
places presents good chances
to fish with dries, but there
was a lot of very god runs
and pools for sinking lines
and streamers. The answer was
inmediatly, with good browns
and rainbows about 2 pounds.
Close to 11 o' clock I saw a
few mayflies hatching but not
too often. It was the
Meridialaris, Baetis and
Nousia. The last one is a
black leptophlebia with 6 mm.
wings that you can imitate
with the black gnat in a 18
hook. The trouts, like other
days, wasn't interested in
the new spring insects. In
the afternoon, between 18 and
18,30 , they were hatchs of
the same mayflies mainly a
Meridialaris, but once again,
the trouts didn't show
interest on them. Some
Caddis, with brown chocolate
wings and pale orange-yellow
bodies, shown on the
beautifull waters of
Malleo. Already I had tied
in a few of them, because I
was looking for those flies
days before, so I tied one to
my tippet and after a few
casts, a foolish brown took
it with confidence, like all
trout did with Caddis, so
the afternoon ends with a 3
pounds trout ,not so bad for
the beginning.- Also on the
21th, on the Chimehuin river,
I caught a 4 pounds brown
with a Massarta nymph on a 14
hook in the same place that I
caught the other brown but
with a dry fly, I still have
a doubt if it's the same
trout that "step twice
against the same stone"
(me).It gave me a fight of 20
minutes that left the hook
well bended.
More info tomorrow, if the
water gets low, the insects
hatch and I went fishimg...
Tight lines... Benito Perez.
