The fishing areas on the big lake include bays with deep drop-offs, bays with underwater vegetation as well as rocky bays, necessitating the use of different density fly lines and flies, depending on the season and prevailing weather conditions. Concerning Fishing tackle for the Strobel Lake recommend 8 weight rod with several different lines. Anglers will need a floating, an intermediate as well as a type 6 fast sinking line to face prevailing conditions. A 6 weight rod is a good alternative for calmer days as wind will be a constant factor in Patagonian fishing.
