GENERAL
INFORMATION:
The archipelago consists of a main Tierra del Fuego
or Isla Grande with an area of 48,100 km², and a group
of smaller islands. Half of this island, and the islands
west and south of it, are part of the Magallanes Region
of Chile. The eastern part of the archipelago belongs
to Argentina part of the Tierra del Fuego Province;
its capital is Ushuaia, the biggest city of the archipelago.
The climate is very inhospitable in this region and
is a subpolar oceanic climate with short, cool summers
and long, wet, moderate winters.
Like mainland Chile and Argentina to the North, the
archipelago boasts some of the finest trout fishing
in the world. Sea Run BrownTrout often exceed 20 lbs,
particularly in rivers such as the Rio Grande, San Pablo,
Lago Fagnano and others. Much of this water is private,
catch and release and fly fishing only.
"Far End Lodge" is located in the Maria Luisa Estancia
and within 3 or 3 and 1/2 hours drive from Ushuaia or
Rio Grande Airport.
The Irigoyen & Malengüena rivers plus their tributaries
conform a privileged basin. A unique geography and landscape:
the austral Atlantic Ocean, the very last tip of the
Andes Mountains, and their dense forests of lengas and
ñires, all entwined in a permanent natural clash. The
fishery is located 180km to the south from Río Grande
town, in the Tierra del Fuego province. The Irigoyen
and the Malengüena, holds a healthy population of sea
run brown trout, and also, although in less extent,
resident brownies.
One of the most singular qualities that stand out of
the Irigoyen´s river basin is the geographic and biological
diversity: the mountains behold a delightful environment,
with their forests of lengas and ñires, and the clear
river flowing throughout the valleys. Both rivers holds
abundant populations of sea run brown trout, an exclusive
fishery in private waters where fly anglers will be
able to enjoy one hand light rods, among a unique landscape,
without suffering whips permanent of strong austral
winds, (except in pools near the mouth, and in the sea
itself), battling with enormous, wild, and fresh fish.
2008 will be the first season, operating the fishery
with expert guides, 6 wheels brand new special vehicles
to reach the furthest spots, rebuild cabins, excellent
Argentinean kitchen, only 4 anglers per week (7 nights,
6 days fishing), and of course special rates. The Irigoyen
& Malengüena rivers are the best kept secret in Tierra
del Fuego.

Fly Fishing tackle and
Equipment:
Wading
All of our fishing is in rivers and streams, wading
from the coast. One pair of fly weight chest waders
and one pair of neoprene chest waders is recommended.
The new waders "non-condensation" is the best for walking.
The comfort of your wading shoes is very important also.
Rods
Bring 2-3 rods. A good combination is:
-- single-handed # 7 or 8 Wt, 9´ or 10´.
-- A light-weight double-handed rod # 7 or 8 Wt, 12,3´
or 13,1´.
Lines
We suggest:
-- Lines
WFF and 200 or 300 grains (WFS).
Leaders
From 4 to 12 feet long. Tippet material is extremely
important in Argentina. The trout are very strong and
powerful. Your tippet material should be sheer resistant
as well as have the maximum breaking strength in small
daymeters.
Flies
Bring plenty of flies. You can lose 6-10 flies a day
on snags, in trees, by breaking off fish or on stones.

Ear´s; Caddis Puppa; Montana; Prince; Brich Creek; Zug
