Fishing Program

The Jurassic Lake is arguably the most prolific trophy Rainbow fishery in the world.  It sits in a desert sink at about the 3000 ft. elevation. When you arrive you truly feel the prehistoric ambience of the area and understand why th word “Jurassic” has been used to describe the area. 

As you arrive at what appears to be an almost prehistoric diorama you will feel In your gut the foreboding of the gargantuan Rainbow trout (that average over 10 lbs)  that you will soon be fighting on the end of your line.  

Among the several reasons that Kiene's Fly Fishing Travel recommends Estancia Laguna Verde Lodge is that it offers a more varied fishing program than many of the other lodges. In addition to fishing the magnificent Jurassic Lake and Barrancoso River, the lodge has access to the Laguna Verde lake (which in itself offers first class Rainbow fishing)  but also several lakes and creeks in the area. 

Strobel Lake (Jurassic Lake) looks much like the ocean, with the water often choppy due to the consistent wind, but your guide will show you how those conditions bring its Rainbows in close to feed on the multitude of scuds, shrimp and other aquatic life that are stirred up by the small waves along the shore. When the wind is calm you will have an opportunity to sight fish to the huge shadows that cruise the shoreline.

All guides speak fluent English, and have years of experience in the local waters.  Their goal is to provide you with an experience that will more than meet your expectations on all levels.
