Jurassic Lake
Strobel Lake. (aka Jurassic Lake) for Hardcore Anglers
The Fishing
Imagine yourself in a journey through the middle of south Patagonia.
Those places where all you have is what you bring and with the ones
you’re sharing the trip, you definitely connect with your self and instinct.
Well, how can you describe fishing when you are heading to one of the
wildest places in the middle of the Argentinean stepp, surrounding with
ancient ruins form the Tehuelches Tribe. Every mile, is a world hard
to described, but I can insure you, it is worth it. Those Jurassics
trouts take not just the best of your technique, your muscle play the
game too. In one word, this place is ACTION ¡¡
Lodge
The fishing camp is situated next to the Lake, over a hill where you
have a great view of the environment. The only thing you need is wake
up and walk a hundred meters and you´ll be ready to go, at the lake
or the only tributary river, the Barrancoso.
Now, been there, after a couple of minutes you figure asking, how can
they bring all that confort to a isolate place like that. What you can
expect of this crew; motivation, tenacity and like all of us, that “taste”
of madness.
