Limay Medio week float

The “River of Monsters”

The Limay Medio River is a tail water river of very large size. Starting as a drain from the bottom of the upstream reservoir with a 700 feet dam wall; it provides very stable water temperature and gin clear water that create an ideal environment for fish populations.

The Fishing

Among the trout, this river is home to several minnows and mid-size fish species that find a great environment to grow and survive on this river. These species such as pueyen, pejerrey, brage aterciopelado (similar to sculpin) and otuno are the main meals and the reason for these trout to grow this healthy and reach this tremendous size. The first two species, pejerrey and puyen, do every year a massive spawning migration by early summer from different parts of the river to the huge Reservoir where the river flows to. Later on by middle summer (early February) these minnows already spawned return to their home in the main river and generate a lot of migratory trout to follow these schools with millions of individual minnows.

All these are the reasons why when we fish Limay we are not fishing in a traditional spawning migration situation. We are fishing on migratory fish that are on the stream to feed and take advantage of incredible sources of food; generating very aggressive fish. This feature also makes the migration be a lot more predictable and not dependable on water levels and temperatures.

We will be targeting migratory brown trout in a range 6 to 18 pounds and migratory rainbow trout in a range 4 to 9 pounds. A resident population of rainbows and browns will be another very attractive reason that will keep our fun going with fish that average 18 to 24 inches and have the same spectacular strength than the migratory ones. Fun will be assured.
