The river features Bows on steroids up to 5k and BIGGG Browns up to who the hell knows\u00a0\u2026\u2026\u2026. but 5 to 8 k fish\u00a0are caught regularly. No sea runs here!! On my last trip in April 2011, I had (8) fish over 4k, one 5.5k and my personal best of 6.5k. Interestingly all were caught on #8 streamers with small profiles.\u00a0\u00a0 The mighty Limay River, flows for about 300 miles from its source, Lake Nahuel Huapi near San Carlos de Bariloche until it joins the Neuquen River to form the Rio Negro River on its final destination to the Atlantic Ocean. It has five dams and is a\u00a0massive tailwater.\u00a0It is the stretch between the Pichi Pic\u00fan Leuf\u00fa Dam and Exequiel Ramos Mejia Reservoir that is called\u00a0 \u2018 Limay Medio\u00a0\u2019\u00a0( middle Limay)\u00a0or better yet\u00a0 the \u2018 River of MONSTERS\u2019\u00a0 a name justly earned.\u00a0 As a result of the dam, the Reservoir creates a great source for\u00a0minnows that are \u2018 trout candy \u2018\u00a0for these fish, producing rapid growth rates, allowing many trophy sized\u00a0fish to\u00a0grow fast\u00a0and reach unbelievable sizes.\u00a0 The minnow hatch is something to see&#8211; something you&#8217;re not likely to seen in many places\u2026\u2026.. big fish rodeo style herding minnows into a confined area and busting them on top.
