This morning our fly fishing guide, Nico, arrived at the hotel and whisked us off to our first ever fly-fishing expedition. Along with his cousin, we hopped in their van, pulling along a raft and headed to the Limay River with a stop at the local convenience store to get our fishing licenses for the today.
Nico told us all about nymph versus dry flies (dry ones sit on the surface) and how 90% of the eating happens underwater which is why we’re using nymphs – to maximize our chances of landing a fish. At minimum, he hoped we’d get at least 2 strikes by the end of our half day together. Our expectations were appropriately set.
We put on our gear and set out near the mouth of the river, the outflow of Nahuel that headed to the Atlantic Ocean .
