Prehistoric Rainbows on Jurassic Lake with Lucho Alba
Episode 133 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – December 19, 2024. Our destination is Lago Strobel, also known as Jurassic Lake in Patagonia, Argentina with Lucho Alba, owner of Estancia Laguna Verde fishing lodge.
Buenos Dias! 2,000 miles south of Bueno Ares deep in the heart of Patagonia lies a remote and pristine lake famous for wind, rocks, and prehistoric-sized rainbow trout, considered some of the largest in the world. Our destination is Lago Strobel, also known as Jurassic Lake in Patagonia, Argentina with Lucho Alba, owner of Estancia Laguna Verde fishing lodge.
Lucho explains the allure of this distant location, how these fish grow to such enormous proportions, and tips on how to land fish with more moves than Lionel Messi.
Stick around to the end for a great story of a chance encounter with some hitchhikers, a nasty girlfriend, and a birthday like no other.
Buckle your seat belts and check your backing because you're in for a wild ride. Let’s hear from Lucho! Vamos!
