Episode 51 - JACK PORTER – Comparing Argentina and Chile: How to Choose the Best Options for a South American Fishing Trip
Description
There’s no question that Patagonia is one of the premier freshwater fly fishing destinations in the world – a dynamic, one-of-a-kind region in South America that is home to dozens of world-class lodges, experienced and professional guides, and more rivers, streams, and lakes than can possibly be fished in a lifetime. The options and choices are both plentiful and varied, however, which is why deciding exactly where, when, and how to fish Patagonia can at times be confusing. This is especially true when initially choosing between Chile and Argentina. To discuss the many differences between the two countries – and to talk Patagonia in general – we’re joined on this episode by Jack Porter, Yellow Dog Flyfishing’s Program Director for South America. Jack has lived in Argentina, worked at several lodges in Patagonia, and – during his time at Yellow Dog – assisted thousands of anglers with planning trips to one of the most incredible fly fishing regions on the planet.
