Did I remember everything? As I packed my mounting gear pile, I still wondered if I had enough to cover being in Bolivia for 2-1/2 weeks. I was told to pack light. One dry bag, one small backpack, and one camera case—50-pounds max. That meant only a few changes of clothes, a med-kit (mine contained a few bandages, some tape, gauze, Neosporin, Super Glue to close cuts, Visine, Lamisil, aspirin, Benadryl, and a pair of tweezers), and fishing and photography gear. Add to that my passport and $400, and I figured I was good to go.

The Bolivian jungle is a dorado dream destination, but it's certainly harsh on the angler. Here is Kirk Deeter's list of essential gear for a deep jungle adventure.

I have to ask, how many boxes of flies do you have?
Rods? Reels?

Wow! What a trip. I'm glad to hear all returned safe and sound. The Brunton solar panels have peaked my interest. Can't wait for Julys issue.
Awesome - one of these days I'd love a trip like that. Maybe when I retire???
I dont know if I will ever take a trip like this one but it looked like a great one thanks for sharing
The story was superb.
I finally got around to reading the related article in the magazine. One of the best written and most enjoyable that I recall in a long time. Would love to see more adventure stories like this in the mag.
