Hi Martina and Daniel:

Just a short note to thank you again for making the arrangements for my travels within Argentina and my stay at Challhuaquen Lodge. I returned to Los Angeles from Buenos Aires late yesterday morning, with a short layover in Miami to go through Immigration and Customs and change planes. And, Marta, a special thanks to you for the cars and drivers in Buenos Aires - everything worked perfectly.

The fishing was very good, although not nearly as good as it was last year (December, 2011) - we had very strong winds on all but two days (Monday, Dec. 24th, and Friday, Dec. 28th, and then only in the morning - the wind picked up considerably in the afternoon on both days). Since the wind precluded any insect hatches and generally put down the fish (not to mention making it very difficult to cast a fly line), by Friday morning (which was warm, sunny and calm) the fish were starving and began feeding very aggressively; Friday morning was the best session of fishing on the Futaleufu I have ever seen - we lost count of the number of trout I hooked and caught. It was astonishing

Muchas gratias!

Best regards.
