Good morning from San Martin de Los Andes in Argentine Patagonia where we just finished another nice week of fishing with some wonderful guests from back home in Oregon.

Crooked River update is good too! 12/20/25

A “mostly high water” fishing report 12/19/25

The one that is still fishable for sure is the Fall River, and I am not sure I trust the gauges on the Crooked but the internet says the flow from Bowman Dam remains 100 cfs. What makes me question … Continue reading A “mostly high water” fishing report 12/19/25
