There are two excellent rivers for sea-trout within a short drive from Port Howard Lodge--the Warrah and the Chartres. |
||
|
The Warrah rises in the foothills of Muffler Jack Mountain (named after a shepherd in the early 1900's who always wore a scarf) and runs for twenty miles to the sea. |
||
|
The Warrah has a reputation for the quality of its fish rather than the quantity--in the 2000/2001 season, 13 sea-trout over eight pounds were logged. |
||
|
The Chartres has fewer large fish but bags of ten or more 3--6 pounders are regularly caught. |
||
|
Days or week-long packages on the fishing rivers of West Falkland, with or without experienced Ghillies, can be arranged through Port Howard Lodge. For rod fees and other rates please click here. |

"There are, to be sure, other locales where sea trout grow larger, but I cannot think of any where the fishing is so utterly natural and devoid of commercialisation." |
