Patagon Journal #3

In this special fly fishing edition, veteran fly fisherman Rodrigo Sandoval tells us how to capture some of the biggest trout in the world in Patagonia. In 2004, British author Simon Worrall wrote a lengthy feature story about Patagonia for National Geographic. His work on that article led to his book The River of Desire: A Journey of the Heart Through Patagonia, and we are fortunate to publish a long excerpt. Jonathan Byers shows how climate change is affecting mountains; in our Interview, Chilean mammal biologist Agustin Iriarte explains the current threats to Patagonian wildlife; Andres Amengual gives us a stunning photo essay on the Puelo River Valley; and we have travel stories on the unlimited luxuries with Nomads of the Seas on Chile's Patagonian coast and on Aysen's spectacular Valle Exploradores.
