Hey everyone, just wanted to share what’s happening down here near Bariloche, Argentina.
We’re seeing unusually low water levels in the Limay River system this season. While the low flow can be a concern for the ecosystem long-term, from a fly fisherman’s perspective, it’s turned the river into a dry fly paradise.
The channels are so clear and shallow that it’s basically turned into pure sight fishing. I’ve been spotting big browns holding in skinny water and picking them off with terrestrials and small dries. It feels more like fishing a technical spring creek than a massive Patagonian river.
Has anyone else experienced a season where "bad" water levels actually led to your best dry fly sessions?
