In Patagonia....

HELLO FROM PATAGONIA:

7:05 PM PST, November 21, 2008

It´s been a stunning first day in these exotic climes. I released a half dozen small rainbows on a 5 wt. using dry fly/indicator rigs. I also let a brown trout around 4 lbs. get the best of me by spitting my barbless fly before I was able to come tight. My guide Alejandro caught a similar-sized fish but lost it while grabbing the fish for photos- he will be sure to bring a net tomorrow.

We stopped fishing when a chilly squall blew through the valley at 6 p.m.
