Along with his twin brother, Nico, Alex is tasked with figuring out the complexities of the Irigoyen, where they are starting a very limited (four-angler) guide operation. The brothers grew up in Bariloche, and formerly worked as guides on the fabled Rio Grande, known as the sea trout capital of the world, 150 kilometers to the north. "Do you think we might catch fish like this?" we asked Alex. "Claro que si . . . of course," he answered.</p> adventure argentina atlantic brown trout fishing fly fishing irogoyen Kirk Deeter kirk deeter patagonia photo gallery sea run sea-run south america trout http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/upon-arrival-guide-alexander-trochine-showed-us-photo-brown-t#comments Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:00:00 -0500 fieldandstream-editor 41773011 at http://www.fieldandstream.com http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/just-grins-we-would-spend-early-evening-hours-river-mouth-whe <img src="/files/imagecache/photo-carousel/legacy/41773010.jpg" alt="" title="" width="125" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-photo-carousel" /><!--paging_filter--><p>Just for grins, we would spend early evening hours at the river mouth where the Irigoyen poured into the Atlantic.

Naturally, they do things a little differently in Argentina. You don't measure trout with a tape, you weight them with a Boga grip (lifting the net and subtracting its weight, so as not to clamp down and damage the jaws of the trout). The Trochine brothers treat these fish with great care, releasing the vast majority, with the very rare exception that ends up as sea trout ceviche or sashimi. This one tipped the scale at 13 pounds, and was released unharmed.</p> adventure argentina atlantic brown trout fishing fly fishing irogoyen Kirk Deeter kirk deeter patagonia photo gallery sea run sea-run south america trout http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/matter-scale-naturally-they-do-things-little-differently-arge#comments Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:00:00 -0500 fieldandstream-editor 41773009 at http://www.fieldandstream.com http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/leaving-irigoyen-i-paused-reflect-true-life-adventure-near-bo <img src="/files/imagecache/photo-carousel/legacy/41773008.jpg" alt="" title="" width="125" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-photo-carousel" /><!--paging_filter--><p>Leaving the Irigoyen, I paused to reflect on a true "life adventure" near the bottom of the civilized world, where I had caught many trout I will never forget, in ways and in a place I could not have imagined.

But that wasn't the end of the evening adventure. There are feral bulls in this part of Argentina (you read that right . . . bulls). As we walked out of the river and through the forest, Alex and I could hear stomping and bellowing in the near distance. We flipped on our headlamps, then saw the shadow of a 2000-pound beast splitting through the trees. "I think we'd better stay near the river," he said.

They're also quite tasty. Depending on the tides, they would flood in and out of the river mouth by the dozens or hundreds. Using our standard 8-weight setups with sink-tip fly lines, a slow retrieve with a green "John Barr Slump Buster" fly pattern proved just the ticket.</p> adventure argentina atlantic brown trout fishing fly fishing irogoyen Kirk Deeter kirk deeter patagonia photo gallery sea run sea-run south america trout http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/kite-fins-and-muscular-body-robalo-were-exceptionally-hard-no#comments Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:00:00 -0500 fieldandstream-editor 41773006 at http://www.fieldandstream.com http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/different-world-well-maybe-not-funny-thing-was-while-all-my-p <img src="/files/imagecache/photo-carousel/legacy/41773005.jpg" alt="" title="" width="125" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-photo-carousel" /><!--paging_filter--><p>A different world . . . well, maybe not. The funny thing was, while all my preconceptions about sea trout fishing involved large, wide-open rivers, the Irigoyen, from bank to bank, reminded me a lot of the best brown trout water I fished in Michigan (like the Pere Marquette) in my younger days. Here I was, half way around the world, and the river seemed oddly familiar, with log jams, and tree stumps, deep pools, and coffee-colored water. We used single-handed rods, and threw streamers and nymphs with short casts into the structure to elicit violent takes. Here guide Nico Trochine points out the best shot to Ann Hamner.

She is, by far, one of the foremost authorities on trout fishing in South America, and not surprisingly, was the first in our group to hook a double-digit sea trout, or "trucha de mar."

Here, 30-foot tides and sudden violent storms make rounding "The Horn" the most dangerous feat in nautical navigation. At this point, we are nearly 100 miles south of the Straits of Magellan. The peninsula barely visible on the horizon is Cabo San Diego, the pencil-point tip of the South American continent. From the spot where this photo was taken, we would drive nearly another hour on a dirt road along the South Atlantic coast to the 40,000-acre Estancia Maria Louisa and the Irigoyen Lodge.</p> adventure argentina atlantic brown trout fishing fly fishing irogoyen Kirk Deeter kirk deeter patagonia photo gallery sea run sea-run south america trout http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/fieldandstream/kentucky/2008/02/after-crossing-andes-road-met-south-atlantic-where-wrecked-de#comments Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:00:00 -0500 fieldandstream-editor 41773003 at http://www.fieldandstream.com
