Fly Fishing for HUGE SEARUN BROWN TROUT by Todd Moen

- The Rio Grande is renown for fly fishing and for its massive populations of very big searun brown trout. In fact, some consider it to be the world's best sea run brown trout fishery on earth. Two years ago, The Fly Shop invited me to film Scottish angler Gordon Armstrong as he fished the Argentinian stretch of the Rio Grande at the Estancia Maria Behety Lodge. Though most of the Rio Grande is on the Chilean side, more than 80% of the prime spawning habitat, and the "best fishing" is on the Argentina portion. 32 miles of river frontage, with alternating use of nearly 50 km of more than 100 pools and a fish run population that exceeds 70,000 every season...yes, please and thank you!
The Tierra del Fuego summer season is short, dry and relatively cool. But the wind is what sets it apart from most every other fishing mecca. To film in the wind, I really needed to resign to the fact that every shot would be difficult. I ended up getting lucky and was able to fly my copter for some good aerials of this vast, open landscape.
A huge thanks to fly fishing guide Nahuel Stauch for his awesome work with the audio and for his guiding expertise on the Rio Grande. Also thanks to Scottish angler Gordon Armstrong for making it look so easy on film.

I doe not understand why Todd Moen has not got a Oskar yet??? His film's are always big cinema, there is a lot of heart blood inside so we can see all these beautiful things. For that i give him the greatest respect. Fly only for life, and straight up for Todd Moen. Greeting's from germany.
Very nice comment about my work. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
My first clue was seeing Todd's name. Second clue? When I saw the size of the net! When your net is the same size as your Fishing Guide, time to hit 'Pause', make some popcorn, grab a beer, and settle in for some unbelievable fishing action. This is as good as it gets.
When I read your comment I was so confused. This is precisely what went through my mind that I thought this comment was mine!
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Elijah Terrence Instablaster ;)
@Drew Franco I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Drew Franco it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
Oh my good lord...
I spent my time chasing sea run trout in Tasmania. When I saw the size of that first fish breach, I thought it was a small dolphin! Phenomenal.
Fantastic as usual Todd. Thank you
Very, very nice sea run brown trout (plateadas), at the Río Grande in María Behety Ranch, the most in the world for this fishing. Greetings from Argentina.
Wonderful !! I'm yelling...quietly at the screen.."oh my gosh, oh my gosh" every time a huge sea trout jumps out of the water. This video is perfect. It's so thrilling to see all of the natural beauty of the Rio Grande. Thank you all .
... another wonderful story told in superb pics & music ... APPLAUSE !!
Thank you for sharing an experience that most of us will never have. Wow...
Todd is the greatest videographer of our time! Tierra Del Fuego is one of the most desolate places on earth, but one on every fisherman's dream list. Imagine how the winds must blow with nothing to slow them down! Another of my favorite videos was of Liam Neeson fishing Patagonia for sea run brook trout.
Wow. Those fish are like Dolphins!!
Labrador and Del Fuego. Stuff of dreams
Fantastic video.
I love the respect they have for the fish
IDGAF Prod. Clam&jetskii Seriously. I wish TH-cam would delete some of these youtubers with GoPros who are killing fish left and right just for the shot.
Absolutely stunning! Worthy of any award. My mouth was literally wide open the entire video.
Being able to see and learn about fishing these places creates a whole new set of life goals for me.
How did 31 people dislike this?! Beautiful video as always. Spring Run, Fall Run and Winter Run pushed me over the edge to begin swinging flies for steelhead 2 years ago. Thank you!
well my guess would be the absolutely horrendous music. It's boring to watch video when it has to be muted in order to prevent your ears from bleeding..
Well, I didn’t give it a dislike, I think he does a great job, but I find anything to do with subsurface fishing to be boring. I only like to fly fish to feeding fish in saltwater or rising fish to small bugs in streams. I mean, in an emergency I may sight nymph, otherwise I leave.
What a beautiful place, remote and untouched
Wow!! That just made the top of my bucket list!!!! Amazing!!!!
This river just hit the top of my bucket list
Superb piece, incredible fishing in a spectacular location... gold standard stuff once again
As a FT stills shooter for over 35 years, I admire those that can tell a compelling story with moving images. IMO, this is one of your best pieces Todd - Cinematography, edit, music selection and interviews fit perfectly together. Greets from the other side of the Cascades in Eugene
Hermoso video Todd !!!, Gracias por compartirlo !!! Beautiful video Todd! Thanks for sharing!
One of the main differences between the SALMO and ONCHORYNCHUS genre is that SALMOs are extremely fearful and hence the opposite ways to fish them
С огромным удовольствием смотрю Ваш канал, сам живу в Мурманской области. У нас почти всю рыбу выбили сетями на реке ура и кола, сейчас взялись за Титовку. Инспекция работать не хочет, по этому завидую Вам белой завистью. С уважением Алексей.
Just awesome!
Cool, they all looked 100 lbs in the air.
Fishermen Nirvana...still have goosebumps..
Those browns are absolute units!!!
Units! haha I like that!
You could make that an hour long and it would still be to short absolutely stunning cinematography 👌
The river, and fish, of my dreams. Beautiful video!

OMFG!!!! By far the best fishing video I've ever seen on TH-cam. I was in ore when I seen them monsters jump. The quality on the edit is perfect and absolutely love the music. WOW

Unfortunate that such a beautiful place and fish will only be caught by those with tons of money to spare...
I have never made or had a "ton of money" but I could afford this".
Spectacular! Is there a canoe adventure to be had over there???
Another grear one Todd!

In a lot of river in Canada they don't allow lead or sink8ng line because they snag or foul hook a lot of fish ,
Thanks for watching!
Outstanding work. Thank you
Amazing video & footage,Amazing fishing & Amazing part of the country!A would love a shot at these silver torpedoes,where do a sign up for the next trip?👍🎣
Jesus, those fish porpoising
Beautiful! Giants! World class filming as usual.
Danny, Really appreciate it.
Awesome!

These are real German browns that go to the ocean? Crazy beautiful fish that's my main target when I fly fish in Colorado
Yes, those fish are unbelievable. Thank you for watching this film. Appreciate the support!
@@CatchMagazine they lose the brown when they travel that way I see. Still remarkable fish. Thank u for the content ❤️
Wow! That is crazy
Jesus their HUGE!!!!! and Ime No Fisherman>>>>> Gulppppp Tc Uk Todd Hope Ur well dude
sea trout!!
Brilliant video thanks
Watching people torturing fish. They should keep holding the fish out of the water, they can breath air like we can. And please drag the fish over the rocks. W
So since they're sea run can we call them brownheads?
Nice Pictures !!!!
Super Video ich bin begeistert
Bellissimo!
Una domanda, si pesca solo a mosca in quel fiume o è permesso pescare a spinning?
I miss that!!!!
The voice of a argentinea,i can hear it.porque estoy viviendo en basa.
Watched this film for the first time today some of the fish are the size of a small tank. Great footage&music... Ps: Can you tell me the piece of music playing towards the end of the film, thank you...
Everywhere you go in patagonia the local fisherman lobe the prince nymph
I think you are 100% correct! Thanks for watching.
El comentario que voy hacer no es contra los guías de los Loodge, si no contra los que usufructúan de los mismo.
Es hermosa la pesca en Rio Grande, lastima que los loodge usufructuan el trabajo de todos los que pasamos años sembrando todos los espejos de agua de la Provincia, especialmente el Río Grande, cuando remontamos por dias el Rio Grande poniendo ovas y alevinos, en esos momentos hasta eramos un estorbo para los estancieros ya que les podíamos mezclar las ovejas, y ahora con todo el trabajo realizado armaron los loodge en los cuales es casi imposible entrar a pescar, ya que obtienen pingues ganancias por el solo hecho de que el Río pasa por sus estancias. Algunas vez se debería solucionar esto, no con un pedazo del Río Grande como coto publico, si no poder ir a los pozones que conocimos hace varios años. No nombro a ningún lodge en particular, pero ciertamente los pobladores de Tdf no podemos competir con un pescador que paga mas de 1000 dolares por día para poder pescar. Pescar es un decir porque el 80% de las truchas que supuestamente son pescadas en realidad son enganchadas por el anzuelo en cualquier parte de su cuerpo, lo que se conoce como robada, pero como el circo para los extranjeros esta bien montado, el trabajo del guía con ese copo gigante es tomar a la trucha, hacer que el pescador con su caña vaya para la playa, meter la trucha en dicho copo y sacarle la mosca enganchada en su cuerpo y ponerla en la boca como si la hubiera pescado, ellos al ver su mosca en la boca de la trucha piensan que realmente son pecadores, como ejemplo voy a nombrar a dos figuras que se creyeron grandes pescadores y solo fueron engañados con truchas enganchadas, Bush y Menem. No solo los extranjeros roban truchas en los Ríos a nosotros también nos pasa de enganchar mas veces de las que pescamos, pero sabemos como la enganchamos, si de la boca, del lomo o de la cola. Al tener una trucha enganchada y no pescada de la boca la pelea es infernal ya que los pescadores quieren arrimar al pez a la orilla pero al estar enganchadas no hay forma de cansarlas y pelean para desengancharse si sentir dolor ni cansancio, solo que algo las detiene y no pueden ir donde quieren por eso a veces vemos esos saltos increíbles que dan, es una hermosura, es mucha adrenalina que en estos tiempos desde hace varios años no la podemos sentir las veces que quisiéramos y en los lugares que conocemos. Pero bueno esa son las reglas de los dueños de las estancias y contra ello nada podemos hacer, como dije al inicio usufructuar el trabajo de años de gente realizo mientras ellas se quejaban. Solo poder conseguir algún día de la temporada poder entrar al Río Grande. Que pena me da. 😢😢😢
A que se debe lo de que la mayoría de las veces son enganchadas del cuerpo las truchas, y en menor porcentaje se da que la trucha toma la mosca? Es decir el pique real
@@marcenapoles por el peso de la línea y la gran cantidad de truchas apiladas en el pozo, es casi imposible no enganchar alguna de ellas. Ojo también toman pero en proporción son más las robadas o enganchadas que pescadas. Abrazos.
@@marcelodanielbarroca6681 gracias por responder y aclarar un poco la inquietud, pensé podía tener algo que ver también con el uso del anzuelo doble gancho. Abrazos y buenas pescas!
@@marcenapoles no amigo para nada, aca en Tierra del Fuego pescamos con anzuelo de una pata, los mios los tengo sin rebarba y muchos los usamos así.
@@marcelodanielbarroca6681 Ojalá algún día pueda ir a pescar ese maravilloso río y muchos otros ambientes únicos de pesca que tienen allá. Abrazo de pique y muchas gracias
What weight rod would one customarily use on these magnificent fish?
Wonder who owns all that river frontage. Any public fishing here or is it all private and for the extremely rich to enjoy?
Fantastic! What is the predation in the river and ocean?
Does one have to use a spey rod or can one use a single handed rods like a 12 wt rod ' what rod size is a preferred size for these slabs
Slabs is right! You could use a single hander but you better hold on! I’m sure you could, 8-10 wt but what the challenge would be is throwing heavy tips in brutal wind to get down to the fish.
Woow, lovely!! Really nice video. What camera did you use? Best wishes
Thank you. For this shoot I used the Panasonic UX180
Much a gravers amigo
