For decades, he was a regular fisherman at the Correntoso river´s outlet into Lake Nahuel Huapi, a world class trout fishing spot.This is an elegant and easy-to-tie streamer fly, it has been used in Patagonia for a long time with great results; but nowadays, with so many new patterns, this fly is rarely known by today´s anglers.You may find it interesting to tie this fly in different sizes and try it out in rivers and lakes. You´ll probably end up telling your friends to fish with it. This way, the Chateaubriand may have a rebirth and be as popular as it was back in the 70´s.
