Our time in Malargue, Argentina was spent relaxing more than anything. We rented some bikes and rode around. We rode our bicycles to Rio Malargue where I was able to get my feet wet and go fishing, while Beth found a nice tree to sit under and read. Rio Malargue is more or less a glorified drainage ditch with trout in it. Many of the rivers in this area are heavily used for irrigation to the surrounding farms.
Even in the blazing 95 degree heat, this river ran fast and cool flowing out of the nearby mountains. I had a good day of fishing. I caught four rainbow trout. The fish definately weren´t sluggish like you would think in that kind of heat. These frisky fish were good fighters. The trout ranged from 10-15 inches.

Nice fish! We are glad to hear you are having fun. Thanks for sharing these updates with us!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
PS. I saw on Beth's website for the school children that Mrs. Waybright's class is studying South America this week in Social Studies class. Again, what a great idea to share both these blogs with us.
Just spent 15 minutes fishing in the hot sunshine with Nathan in my mind. Later. . around lunch perhaps. . I'll try out Beth's tree. Curious if your Spanish is improving?
