Welcome to the Flyfishing in Argentina site

When I retrieve a popper I want it to make as big a noise as possible. I keep the rod under my arm and use a two-handed retrieve. I give the line a hard pull with my one hand, the popper usually jumps forward, and sometimes you get a bit of slack in the line, with my other hand I give the popper a slower shorter to strip to tighten the line until I can feel resistance from the popper before I give it another sharp jerk with my other hand.

Note: for the duration of stay on Benguerra Island we were the guests of Marlin Lodge, a lodge that I can definitely recommend to anyone. The fishing around these islands are superb and even though we were there when the fishing was considered to be "not very good" we caught a variety of species, including giant kingfish, green-spot kingfish, yellow-spot kingfish, bludger kingfish, big-eye kingfish, salad fish, bonito and a couple of big queen mackerel. If you are interested in doing a trip to these islands please do not hesitate to contact me.
