Kirk Deeter spent two weeks in cocaine country with a group called the Jungle Anglers, dodging piranhas and jaguars as they flew, drove, rafted, then poled their way to some of the last best fishing on the planet.
The Jungle Anglers specialize in chasing trophy fish in the wildest environments of South America. In two of those places, "La Zona" in northern Argentina (dorado), and "Far End Rivers" in Tierra del Fuego (sea trout), their company, Untamed Angling, has established top-notch lodge operations.
According to their plans, this Bolivian adventure will one day be accessible from a tent-lodge base camp. Stay tuned for editor-at-large Kirk Deeter's feature on this trip in an upcoming issue of Field & Stream magazine.
