Trophy Trout
Trophy trout hunters looking for the 24-30" trout will be tickled with opportunities for all three species (rainbow, brook, brown) that easily fall into that size range.
The small freestones offered classic trout fishing opportunities where traditional western dry fly patterns would entice rainbows and browns throughout most of the day. The spring creeks, lagoons, and backwaters often had trout prowling around that exceeded the 20" mark and the lakes were where the true trophies hid.

Now fishing is still fishing, trout don't just jump on your line at every opportunity. Even with the lack of overhead predators such as eagles and osprey, anglers had to carefully present their flies and at times rotate through patterns until the silver bullet was found. With Las Pampas location being seated near the mountains, shifting weather played a role in the days fishing as well. We were fortunate enough to have some incredibly sunny and light winded days on the beginning and end of the trip, with a few days in the middle where I couldn't find enough layers, and days of hucking flies into 40 knots of wind. Those days were about as silly as bringing a knife to a gunfight. Like most trips, a well-prepared angler will have no trouble with these variables.
Wind or no wind, the people, culture, scenery, food, and of course the fishing was second to none. Las Pampas refers to all of these experiences as the "Las Pampas Style". I couldn't agree more, and I can't wait to get back to the Las Pampas Style.
