The photo of the week is of Patagonia Flies Wilfredo (Homero) Yaconis with his impressive giant rainbow caught in Southern Patagonia. Nice work on bringing that beast to hand for the team.
Some really incredible Dorado fly fishing is located in the province of Salta, northern Argentina in the Juramento river. With lush tropical rainforest landscapes and beautiful warm weather, and huge Dorado one should jump on a plane and go tommorow. For more info contact alex@patagoniaflies.com

The Gallegos starts it’s journey in the Andes mountain range in southern Chile at the merging of the Rubens and Penitente rivers. From there it flows 112 miles east [...]
