Tim Rajeff and Oscar Dono Fly Fishing Patagonia the Limay River Argentina by Todd Moen

Oscar Dono and Tim Rajeff enjoy some exciting drift boat fly fishing on the Limay River, near the town of Bariloche. My good friend and world-class caster Tim Rajeff, of Rajeff Sports and Echo Fly Rods, and our Argentinian guide Oscar Dono, of Fly Fishing Patagonia, fished for rainbow trout and brown trout in some of South America's most incredible crystal clear waters. Fortunately, we caught a day with low winds. The usual Patagonian winds can sometimes add a complicated rush: flying my copter above a river flowing at 14,000 CFS is ten times more difficult with wind. We got a lucky break! Argentina truly has some of the most spectacular trout fly fishing in the world. An awesome angler fishing in an awesome environment always yields a fun and entertaining experience, even for the cameraman! Thanks to Tim Rajeff and to the expertise of guide Oscar Dono, who got us to some of the most trout-filled stretches of water. Also thanks to Patagonia, a T-Motion featured sponsor. Check out the folks at Fly Fishing Patagonia for more info on fishing the Patagonia region of Argentina. Filmed November 2013 - Camera and Edit by Todd Moen.

Oscar Dono, the guide at the oars (RIP), we all miss you since you passed away in 2017. One of the best guides ever in northern Patagonia.

[@jimmythefish]

Tim Rajeff is such an awesome guy. How many guys like this would happily fish a competitor's gear on camera? Just a really down to earth dude.

[@tattoomiked4612]

Love this video. I fly fished the Limay while backpacking through Patagonia 10 years ago. This entire region is exquisite.

[@harryviking6347]

OMG! this must be the paradise of fishing!

Love this season of catch mag videos, they're off the chain. And I quite enjoy seeing Tim in these past few, easily one of the best casters ever. His presentation skills are insane.

[@henkstols9326]

Love the scenery and clarity of this river, the other thing is people always think fishing is about hooking up and landing but dont realise the science and effort that goes into selecting the right gear and lures. Also you get the good days and not so good days but at the end of the day it's about being in nature and enjoying yourself.

Water clarity is common in Argentine Patagonia. Some fishermen call it ''Gin Water''

[@aboutme473]

todd, ur videos are on a level of its own. same with ur casting, tim

[@Remu-]

I been watching some flyfishing videos from NZ and the trout there seem so mellow and tired. Even though they're big it's like they don't put up a fight at all compared to these in Argentina. These pull like trains and jump around 4 feet in the air :D Amazing fishing.

[@franciscopablodaloia7169]

You're right, but if you fish in Limay river late season, late April or May, you can capture real monsters Brown Trout, that run from lake Nahuel Huapi to Limay river to spawn. In late season, to catch a brown trout between 15 to 20 pounds is possible and between 10 to 12 pounds is normal. Best wishes

[@NaeFliesOnMe]

Stunning river and great fishing! Thank you for the bonus knot - I'll have to try that one! ;-)

[@NjordFishingChannel]

Really good place and video! Congratulations

[@jack86]

I love fishing. But in this video, i love the nature, the view, and also the music. Great video !!!

[@BenjaminMaggi]

I love fishing this river it's so long that it constantly changes from one place to another, it can be calm and shallow or deep and fast, brown trout are quite hard to find, but there are other species below the Arrorito dam carp is quite common, the fish aren't that big but they're quite flighty it's one of the most beautiful rivers to fish for trout in my country

[@CatchMagazine]

Carp would be a great option and be very fun on that river. Thanks for watching!

That’s Tim Rajeff, founder of Echo Fly Rods and Rajeff Sports. He was also a world champion tournament fly caster and the head engineer at G. Loomis fly rods. He could probably cast extension cords and catch fish.
