Arequipa, Peru
- Background
- Ricardo Santander began fishing at the age of 17. One of his uncles taught him how to fish for Trout and ever since then he’s been hooked. Over the years, he’s become an expert in Trout fishing by visiting many different lakes, creeks, and rivers throughout the Andes in southern Peru, as well as Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. He’s fished all over the world from freshwater in France to offshore fishing in the US. However, for Ricardo, nothing compares to fly fishing for Trout in Arequipa. He invites you to join him on an exciting adventure and create unforgettable memories in southern Peru!
- Techniques
- “I always prefer fly fishing (catch & release), especially using nymphs, dry flies and streamers. We can also do some spinning. Depending on the weather, reading waters, and situation, I can see which technique to use. Maybe using floating or sinking tip lines close to the bank or deeper. On the lake, I prefer using sinking line III or IV ips, usually with rod .5 or .6 wt, and line of the same number WF, as well as long leaders from 2x to 6x. In creeks, I use 2 wt rods and double tapered lines.” –Ricardo Santander
