Good to know that not all of the estancias are high falutin' irregular elitist enclaves. So there's a place for those RVRFSHR spoons on the private water after all. I never looked for any non-fly fishing options, but noticed that regular fishing does occur on popularly accessible waters. The lodge options I looked into are too rich for my blood, so I've considered other trout fishing farther north, where there are B&Bs and small hotels, and water you can get to with a rental car.

I have to admit a drooling desire to chase those South American searun browns myself, but only after I've had a chance to land a few of these bad boys down that way first.......

Golden Dorado! I have a customer who bought some spoons to use for them and managed to catch a few on them...but looking at those fish I can't imagine there's much they wouldn't eat if they could see it and if it fit in their mouth!

We used to catch giant lake-run browns (high teeners). They look pretty cool, but they're not much good for anything else. . .fight like a chunk of bull kelp,

Has there been any discussion about these "invasive" chinook?
What native populations have been adversely affected by non-native chinook plants. If the chinook are doing well, what species are being replaced. ????????
On the other hand. I really really really want to go there.

Been reading a little more about Strobel (Jurassic) Lake. Very little info. out there as far as the biology of it's success. Just that trout were introduced 15 yrs. ago in the pristine lake, along with a food supply...scuds, and it took off. Curious what strain of trout were planted? Would any trout get that big based on it's environment and food supply? Anyone know where to find any history? Looks like something to add to the bucket list.

Little to no predation or harvest, pristine spawning habitat and conditions, and abundant food. The perfect recipe for trout to grow plentiful and large.
There are several other lakes close by with very similar conditions in which trout were planted as well, but for some reason none have exploded the way Strobel has. The locals say it is all due to the food source, but I think the recipe is a little more complex than that. I've heard some say water temps and mineral/nutrient content play a role.
I've read a number of places that the rainbows transported to Argentina, Strobel included, came from the McCloud in, CA.
This book has some good background in addition to the usual where, when, what info:

Coley, Do you know anything about the size of the nearby lakes compared to Strobel? It is hard to tell from the videos I've seen, but Strobel looks like a pretty good size lake. I wonder what the acreage is on it? Perhaps a bigger lake would spread out the fish more and offer less competition for food, thus the increased growth rate.
Strobel also looks like it goes through some pretty good fluctuations in the water levels based on the high water marks. The dry white rocks look similar to some of our eastern Washington lakes with higher alkaline water contents. SF

There are lakes equal to, larger, and smaller than Strobel in fairly close proximity, most of which have had plants. Strobel is very large and nearly all of the fishing takes place on the south side near where the Barancoso comes in. The smaller lodge, Trophy Rainbow Fishing Camp is on the north side and closer to Ruta 40.
