Jurassic surfing

I recently had the one in a lifetime opportunity to fly fish the legendary waters of Lake Estrobel and the Barrancoso River in southern Patagonia, Argentina. They did not over sell the experience! Though the constant wind and waves were a challenge to fly fish in, they were also what made this fishery so unique. We literally each caught "hundreds" of giant rainbow trout during our stay … 10 to 24 lbs! I couldn't wait to get how to put my experiences on canvas. This scene shows the schools of fish that literally rode the waves into shore to gorge on the scuds that were dislodged into the water column by the pounding waves.
