W4F - Fly Fishing Jurassic Lake - Patagonia, Argentina
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Ken Tanaka of Wish4Fish is back on the water. This time fly fishing in Patagonia, Argentina, and the world-famous Jurassic Lake.
I had an incredible time fly fishing in Patagonia Argentina. Jurassic Lake was definitely a premiere destination and lived up to its name. Jurassic Lake Lodge is located right on Strobel Lake, next to the mouth of the Barrancoso River. Jurassic Lake was first named that so people could not locate it on the map. This is truly a special place. One of the best destination fly fishing locations in the world.

I’ve heard of the San Juan shuffle but the jurassic shuffle is something else. That was unreal man!!!!
Yeah, it was crazy! I definitely tried a couple times to catch them with my hands 😂
Perfect fishing adventure🙂
No doubt! Thank you very much.
5 stars. Per usual!!!
Thank you very much
So cool! It was sweet talking to you at the fly fishing show in Denver! Pretty soon, if the fishing is good, I want to film a longer film style video!
Thank you very much. It was nice talking you. Good luck with your filming.
@@Wish4Fish thanks man 🤙
Good stuff!
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words and support.
Ken, this is so sick!!!
Thank you very much Bill
@@Wish4Fish Ken = The Man!
😂Thanks Brotha
Great video.
Thank you very much Jim.
I missed you by about a month! its a crazy place
Insane place.
Very cool presentation, really enjoyed your video footage and that one bow you got in between the guests showing and going . More my style and tasting that row. 😋 what was your duration of time what would be the budget for your time . Just epic.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words and support. I was there for 4 days.
@@Wish4Fish really, thats incredible you looked like 2 weeks . What was that in your budget. Id like to plan for such a trip. Looking for insight.
No other place like it in the world.
All of Jurassic Lake rates can be found here.
www.jurassiclake.com/rates
pretty crazy to go all the way there to combat fish with a bunch of people only a few feet away when the lake is so huge.
Hardly call that combat fishing but alright. Trust me, you don’t think anything about it when you’re there.
Besides, why would you even want to fish the rest of the lake, when they are all right there.
Do you ever plan on targeting Hucho/ Danube salmon and or Tainan in Europe and Mongolia/Russia?
Hopefully some day!
Kennnnnneeeyyyyyy
What’s up Andrew, thank you very much for watching
LOL Holy Shit HE’S shitting out eggs!!! LOL!!!
😂 I know right 🤦🏻♂️ I noticed that during editing.
No matter how many times I see them in pics or vids I cannot believe how big they are! Super Rad Ken!
No doubt! It’s unreal.
Thank you very much Dave.
YO YO snagging fish for sponsorships here !
😂 yup, you got it 👍🏼
Great Work Ken. Thanks for sharing your Amazing Adventure🐠👍
Thank you very much Frankie
Great video Ken! I think this is the best that I have viewed so far on JL. I'll be taking that 5 hour drive in April. How come I see other anglers fishing but your the only one stroking them? The food looks amazing...
Thank you very much Greg. I appreciate the kind words and support.
Oh awesome, you’re gonna have an incredible time.
😂 Thats just coincidence. Matter of fact, if you watch that “bay of pigs” clip again you can see the guy in the background fighting a fish and the fish even jumped!
Food is amazing!
did you know all these people you fish around on this trip?
I did not. Both groups were random groups.
Money fishing at its best,so far away unless you have the money
Well, Patagonia is only 2,200 miles from Miami so it’s closer than going to the west coast for some people.
What's your recommended gear setup for fly fishing Jurassic Lake?
I would take a 8wt or 7wt with floating line as well as a 5wt or 6wt with floating line.
As you saw, you have the opportunity for dry fly action so I highly recommend trying it out.
If I don't mention it in the video, you can always see my gear I used in the description box below.
@@Wish4Fish awesome to know and great video of amazing fish. My last question just because I didn't here or see it mentioned in the description, what size leader are you using. Would a 4x 9ft tapered leader work well or would I need a stronger leader?
"x" more like POUNDS. I was using 20lb leaders straight. As well as 20lb butt section with 12lb tippet.
They will have tippet there for you. You're not going to go through much tippet anyways.
Have you been to pyramid lake reno?
Not yet.
Big fish
Hey man, dig the footage and your show! Just fished with a guide friend of yours Todd Monson at destination "X" ,Lol.We brought some 30lbers in ...cool dude and knows his shit.If you have a chance check out my "Bug Eater Fishing Show" would love any input.Keep fishing man....you rock!!!! Greg Smith
Thank you very much Dr. I appreciate the kind words and support.
Oh yeah, nice! Glad you got into them! Unfortunately missed out on LA this season. Hopefully, I can get back there in the fall.
Thanks Greg
Dude, I going there end of February.
what was you most productive fly?
NICE! Amazing place! Tell everyone I said hello! They have flies there but if you want to bring flies you can’t go strong with scuds. That’s what they are eating. All honesty, you float anything past them with a good drift and they are eating it.
@@Wish4Fish Thanks for the info. What wt. Rods did you use
Thinking about bringing a 6 wt switch along with my 8 wt.
I used a 8wt most of the time.
The switch is pointless. I would bring a 5wt just in case you get a calm day. Go to the aquarium and hit up some dry fly action! Ask Lew for the black beetle looking fly.
@@Wish4Fish too windy for a switch?
Too windy 90% of the time. Plus no need to cast that far and plenty of room to back cast in all of the beats. They are easily in reach with a regular rod.
Now that you had that amazing opportunity to catch so many trophy trout, I'm wondering if you learned anything new regarding playing and landing big fish? We all know hooking big fish is one thing (trout specifically), but landing them is a special skill in itself.
You are 100% correct on that. Most apparent with BIG Tarpon.
I wouldn’t say anything new. Fighting most big fish is generally the same. We also didn’t have much to deal with structure or current wise.
The only thing I would say was new was learning how to hold a trout that size. 😂 It has a cankle tail and it’s hard to put pressure against the fan of the tail.
The walk and drag fly , not looking fish take , pick up to cast and bam , the I think I’m stuck on something are tried and true methods for a good hook set to catch fish . Let the wind be your friend, isn’t that the truth. Nice job 👍
Anything it takes 😉
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
How challenging was casting with the wind? Looked and sounded pretty strong?
Thank you very much.
That’s definitely the most challenging part. That’s why you see me backcasting at times. Definitely good to practice that and casting opposite shoulder. As well as driving it into the wind.
Good thing is there are beats that you can SORT of escape the wind a bit.
How long does it take to pull those fish in?
All depends. If they are freshies then they can put up quite a fight. Some less than others. Fish aren’t created equal.
Hola Ken, gran aventura al sur del mundo, lugares muy duros por el clima y muy hermosos por su fauna y paisajes desérticos. Muchos peces grandes y otros chicos saltarines también. Buena pesca y saludos cordiales desde Argentina.
Thank you very much.
Yes, very beautiful place with tough conditions. Such a magical place with monster fish!
Not sure how I missed this one, but great video! Some impressive solo net work as well! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Tom! I appreciate your continued support.
Very cool...just booked a tarpon/bonefish trip in the keys for June...can't wait.
Thank you very much.
Nice! Good luck.
The ole walk and drag will do it every time
60% of the time, works every time.
once again brother you not only entertain us, but show us all some great fishing from this rock
Thank you very much Jim
Thank you for the great movie. Incredible fishery!
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words and support.
That fishing was muy loco. Great video!
Thank you very much Don
7:26 chromed out! that looks like a steelhead
Yeah, the super freshies were CHROME! Longer in the river the more color they had.
Me like…..bro that’s awesome 🤩
Thank you very much Joe
What time of year was this if you don’t mind me asking Ken?
This was November.
Thanks for the response man. I need to do this trip in the next few years. If you are ever passing through southern utah and want to see some water, hit me up.
Killing us with the wait Ken!!
😂 thanks Richard
Great content dude!
Thank you very much Christopher. I appreciate the kind words.
The food at that place looks ridiculous Ken! The fishing was amazing it seems. What time of year were you there? Did this take the cake as your new top spot or does Bolivia still take the cake?
Jurassic is amazing. I loved the experience but it's hard to top Bolivia.
As a trout destination, this place is hard to beat.
Hi Ken,
I have a couple questions about you trip. I have a trip plan to JLL in October.
1. When did your trip take place?
2. How many rods did you take with you?
3. It looks like you drove to the lodge, how was the drive? I’m supposed to fly to lodge but as of now the charter is shut down because of Covid.
4. Did you take anything with you that you didn’t need.
5. Is there anything you didn’t take that you wish you did?
6. Any tips to make to make this trip as smooth as possible would be great.
Thanks
Mark
I was there in November. I took 2 8wt and 2 5wt. Just so I had a backup in both.
The drive wasn't bad, around 5hrs. I slept most of the way both ways. Unless they sort out the charter situation by then you will most likely drive as well.
I am a very experienced traveler so I have everything nailed down. Although I always forget ONE item.
Don't forget your outlet power adaptor.
Places like this have everything you need.
don't get it I watch fishing shows to see the fish and the fight why would you just show the hook set then in the net never seen a fishing show that doesn't show the fight????
Sweet, then don’t watch 👍🏼 Have fun watching a person rod the rod and reel in line. I show the fight when the fight is relevant. With trout, not so much.
@@Wish4Fish wow simple fucking question and you reply like that I wont watch another 1
You call that a simple question? Zero need for your passive aggressive attitude. You could have “simply” said “I wish you showed more of the fight” to get a civilized response.
@@Wish4Fish I was blunt I'll admit that but I don't get what in it would piss you off I asked I said I've never seen a fishing show that doesn't show the fight what attitude I asked a question I've seen tons of fishing shows I don't want a pissing match but at same time I don't think I wrote anything to deserve the reply. I meant no offense when I wrote it and It caught me by surprise your reply wasn't expecting it.
Who said I was pissed off? All I said was don’t watch. I even proceeded to answer your question.
You’re the one throwing F-bombs, not me.
Next time you want a question answered seriously you should think about how you’re asking it.
