Blast The Cast At Rio Gallegos


Blast The Cast At Rio Gallegos - Private Estancia Las Buitreras

Back on demand! Alike the Jurassic Lake Review, people kept asking us about the Rio Gallegos Footage... and here it is. Loop´s Private Estancia Las Buitreras is a worldreknown destination for silverbright Seatrouts. And believing the big boss himself, you can be sure that these fishes fight harder than any other salmonide on the globe! Rio Gallegos is as far as the riverstructure concerned, for sure much more difficult than the famous R. Grande - what justifies a huge amount of tackle. From light singlehanders to bad ass doublehanders...

Fishing the andean Patagonia region is always harshly tinched be the ancient spirit of this region that is bourn out of fire and wind. Take a step on this ground and you´ll feel the deepest greatfullness overcome.

I really don´t want to mess up this review by talking too much, so if anyone has got some questions regarding Argentina, Buitreras or even Jurassic Lake... give me a short note via Mail (Stephan@looptackle.de)

These Photos were taken in April 2007 and were part of the Loop Equipment Research (New Opti Reels just have been released) - The represented footages are just a small overview from more than 1500 pictures
