Patagonian memories (6) Quilquihue river, Brown trout in the net
achalabrookies
This photo is from the last century.
More precisely from about 1986.
I am holding the first catch of that day.
It was taken at the beginning of the season (November) on the Quilquihue river in a section that runs right next to the San Martín de los Andes «Chapelco» airport in the Patagonian province of Neuquèn.
I remember that we asked the airport manager for permission to walk across the landing track and access the river.
At that time there were very few flights, so there were no problems letting us through.
At that time, the Quilquihue offered a spectacular population of brown trout and its fishing was very productive.
An extraordinary river that I visited several times.

Humberto it’s nice to look back at old pictures. One glance and our lives are brought back to some of the best parts of life.
Alan,
It’s like you say, luckily there was always a photo camera with me.
I have taken good records of those moments.
Thank you!
Humberto
San Martin…pretty town and location. It has probably changed a lot since 1986. I passed through in 1999.

Bob,
San Martin de los Andes has changed a lot since those years, there are places in the world where changes are for the better, personally I don’t think this is the case in our beloved Patagonia.
Thanks
Humberto
