Shop For Your Next Tierra del Fuego Fly Fishing Adventure
Located at the southern tip of Argentina and South America, Tierra del Fuego is regarded as one of the most productive sea-run brown trout fisheries on earth. Two-handed rods are common here to cover big water, and cold temperatures and heavy winds mean anglers need effective and high-quality wading gear and apparel.
Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industryâs foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing in Tierra del Fuego, anglers can expect to fish nymphs and streamers on a variety of line weights for sea-run brown trout. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twenty-four flies or a more adequate selection of thirty six flies.
Anglers should bring multiple fly lines including weight-forward floating lines. In addition, intermediate and sink tip lines are necessary. For spey anglers, bring both skagit floating or intermediate and a mix of sinking heads.
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience.
Anglers should bring clean or new rubber wading boots.
