Welcome to the Flyfishing in Argentina site

Always make sure that you’re hooks are sharp. There is nothing as frustrating as having a fish eat your fly but not being able to set the hook because it was blunt. This goes for salt as well as freshwater fishing. On a river like the Vaal which is very rocky your flies will often get snagged up on rocks. The soft point of the small freshwater hooks bend very easily in these conditions, making hookups virtually impossible. Make sure you check your hook points regularly and keep them sharp.
