Brown Trout South of the Equator

James A. and Rick B. just got back from their CP trip to Cinco Rios Lodge in Coyhaique, Chile. After surviving New Years parties in Valparaiso and Ville del Mar they managed to have some awesome fishing for a week. Fine specimens of "Yeller" there boys.

Chilean Brown Trout seem to really like beetles.... or maybe they hate them.
Who cares, they kill them!

Lago Azul Brown....some of the best sight fishing there is.
