Equipment & Tackles

If you decide to come to visit us, we'll give you a list of recommendations to help you plan for a more enjoyable and successful fishing trip.
A list that you will find useful from the moment you start packing your bags:

Rod: Since there are mostly medium to big rivers into the fishing operation area, we recommend rod numbers 5 to 7 for trout and 8 to 10 for salmon. Nevertheless, if you take a customized trip and like fishing in small streams you can bring a rod number 2 to 4 maximum.


Lines: Preferably WF sinking tip, type III to IV. If you fish with Teeny lines, the T-130 to T-200 are excellent. Of course there are situations that require floating lines, in which case the WF are best since the days are can be slightly windy around our southern rivers. As we explained previously, if you take a customized trip to fish in streams, it is also recommended to bring DT floating lines.

 

Waders: For the beginning and the end of the season, the best waders are the Neoprene and the breathable waders with polar lining. In January, February and March, the breathable waders are ideal.

 

Clothes for the trip: It is recommendable to bring clothes for warm or slightly cool days as well as clothes such as shoes and jackets for rainy days. However we also recommend you to bring clothes like polar or wool sweaters for colder days.
Sun Protection: It is necessary to bring sun-block of SPF-20 or more. In January, it is also useful to bring insect repellent, but try to bring some that doesn't damage the ozone layer.
