STROBEL "MISTICO E INIGUALABLE"

Strobel Lake - Jurassic Lake



The Strobel Lake located to 560km of the capital santacruceña (It laughed Galician), is doubtless one of the challenges to fulfill by a sport fisherman since they inhabit giants rainbow, the Strobel planted in the plateau that takes the same name becomes not only a challenge in fishing it if not in being able to arrive, because last the volcanic stone plateau this mined reason why 30km can only be journeyed at a speed of but of 15km per hour not taming to but nervous and the anxious fishermen. This dream of being able to fish it venia until now delaying itself, but my friend Guillermo Tenutta I am called by telephone having invited to me to fish the weekend reason why without doubting it purse, canes, flies and many desire to go they became to begin with in hours of much anxiety until the hour. I arrive Friday, the clock it encouraged to awake 04:00 a.m., the dark and fries dawn it watched me to autumn in the outside of my home, loaded everything in my toyota Runner and I get ready to start off for the 05:00 a.m. In way I decided to happen to load diesel oil since fuel shortage of supplies was approached as usual in my dear Argentine reason why in this type of station where she fried and possible snowed they can be a mortal trap in case of having left we beached in the route so already anticipated yet I started off for the first point, the locality of Comandante Luis Piedra Buena to 240km of this one capital, the night was accompanied of a moon first quarter that seemed hung in the horizon, spectacle that I accompany about 20 minutes until rest completely leaving only in company by stars and route me Nº3. After 2 hours the imposing River Santa Cruz gave the welcome me but in this occasion only of step since the destiny was not he in this opportunity, it continues way towards Gobernador Gregores that only was to 210km more, the anxiety to arrive towards each kilometer an eternity, 08:20 the sky showed the first reddish colors becoming a typical dawn of autumn. 09:00 the Hill Windows the horizon showed the proximity of Gobernador Gregores, when arriving Guillermo was hoping to me, last mates and preparing everything to journey 140km until the lake. We made purchases and we left with fixed course to the Strobel 4hs 30 minutes separated to us of also called jurasik lake we took 40 route 70km until the crossing, km more and basic was not to the Cardiel Lake another excellent fishing boat of the either serious zone but he with whom we would measure the skill to fish it.
Three hours later after crossing great part of the plateau of the Strobel, to overcome with our light truck three times the Barrancoso River that in this opportunity almost was congealed in its totality reason why to cross it winch a true adventure 4x4, we arrived at so wished lake tired of the exhausting trip, accommodated the things we cleaned a little the house and quickly hands to the work, we began to cook good tallarines in the hope of the rest of the people who in hours more serian also protagonists of an exit of fishing like few. After knowing us and having dinner, the trick and char them of furnace did not lack, the expectations were many the anxiety overwhelmed in their totality the atmosphere, 00:30 hs the generator set began to remain without gasoline reason why the going to sleep imminent era. 08:00 a.m. Norberto started up the breakfast reason why the scent to piquillín perfumed the atmosphere next to the scent to coffee reason but that sufficient to rise and to give beginning to us to which serious the best closing of season than finds had in years. Forty minutes separated to us of the opening of the Broken one, to admire the plateau in company of the lake I shorten the prophetic volcanic rock section that on approval put the skill and the shock absorbers of ford to ranger of Guillermo. We arrive, a morning as few the wind shone by its absence the sun warmed up with its weak rays the surface of the lake that became a giant mirror of blue color skirted by white sodium carbonate rocks and many volcanic rocks that mined the rest of the landscape. Quickly we began to get dressed cameras in hands, On guard and to fish, Dante in the first shot a rainbow that towards roaring the reel of reel, the jumps broke the harmony of the lake while the combat also extended by some minutes Javier in the first attempt obtained another capture Dante, Javier in unison and their father fought with a rainbow worthy of many photos, the atmosphere became action and more action, jumps, bullfights, the lines crossed the bullfights by the beach to avoid the crossings did what I call the dance of the rainbow if as well as they read a true spectacle that next after to publish the images obtained with our camera we will deal to raise the movie you I had so that they can see all it. The minutes became pure adrenalin Guillermo Tenutta with a length cast deceived an aggressive male who seemed to walk by the surface of the lake, Norberto Amescua at the same time obtained another capture with a trout that seemed that it would not be possible to be brought closer to the border but with skill and much barren profit to capture it and to immortalize it in a good photo anxious I stretched the line and I get ready to enter the water, while to the border several fights, coat struggled the line of reel and outside first cast the fly in the water and the palpitations to thousands per hour, suddenly tense my line and a resounding jump marked my first trout in the Strobel, run and more run the captures forced to us to leave the water to finalize one to one since by the bearings of these exemplary ones it was the safe form but to release them to his habitat. Many were the captures the exhausted arms since the rainbow did not give rest, the equipment adapted for this lake is in 6 Nº or Nº 8 with lines of collapse like tenny 250 grains or others of the lines that worked very or were to air flo carries far in degree 5 and 7, the flies that better result threw were the Woolly buggers in black, red color and green olive tied in Nº hooks 4 and 6 also small camaroncitos tied in hooks Nº 6 and 8, by just a short time that we had was not possible to be tested but of artificial since the majority of the flies gave good result, the unique thing to have in pen counts at the time of making them is to use copper wire against so that a little last more, since by the aggressiveness of to these they destroyed them animal after 3 or 4 captures, another one of the things which we do not have to forget to us is to load the flake to avoid to exhaust and to estresar as much to these giants that offer to noble fights leaving everything in each resentment. In order to be able to accede to this one fishing the recommendable thing it is to contact with Norberto Amescua an excellent guide of the zone that knows each one of the places more recondite the Strobel where it will be able surely to obtain the piece of his life. Three hours it was what the Strobel allowed us to fish it since a snow storm I truncate what was at least for my the best day of fishing in long time, with an average of 30 trouts caught by person in these three hours, only was but that sufficient for a first attempt, but good, sometimes the pretty things last little, the good thing was that the doors are open for a next trip where talvez the climatic conditions are a little but favorable and the which had time not so tyrannous that the day Saturday was only the one that we had to fish it. Although the fishing this realised, still was a long trip to house that would be seasoned with a way that in some places was all a passage 4 x 4, the snow had erased in some sections the track reason why the trip of 4 hours it became still more a challenge of 6 hours until the locality of Gobernador Gregores and my case since 6 hours but distanced to me of my home in Rio Gallegos. Thanks Guillermo and Norberto to have allowed to me to share with you this experience that will remain in my memory by the years that are left me of life since moments as these are not very common and but when this one stay is next to an imminent sale, so I hope somehow to have been able to share with you readers one of my better experiences like sport fisherman hoping to be able to show to them in the season more than it comes.
