by Estancia Maria Behety - Genaro Molinolo, Head Guide

This week didn’t bring many changes regarding fishing and the river in general.

The weather wasn’t a significant factor, as the rain and winds were normal for this time of year.

Fishing continues to be good, maintaining statistics similar to previous seasons.
