PowerPoint Based Presentation |
 “A Trout Bum's Journey Through Patagonia” – Imagine fly
fishing in the shadows of the Andes Mountains. Join Jeff Currier as he portrays
the amazing culture, scenery, and fly fishing of Chile and Argentina,
including the legendary brown trout of Tierra Del Fuego.
Patagonia is a geographic region containing the southernmost portion of
South America. Mostly located in Argentina and partly in Chile, it
comprises the Andes mountains to the west and south, and plateaux and
low plains to the east. The name Patagonia comes from the word patagon
used by Magellan to describe the native people who his expedition
thought to be giants.
 To the east of the Andes, it lies south of the Neuquén River and
Colorado rivers, and, to the west of the Andes, south of (39°S),
excluding the Chiloé Archipelago. East of the Andes the Argentine
portion of Patagonia includes the provinces of Neuquén, Río Negro,
Chubut, Santa Cruz, and Tierra del Fuego, as well as the southern tips
of the provinces of Buenos Aires, Mendoza and La Pampa. The Chilean
portion embraces the southern part of the region of Los Lagos, and the
regions of Aysen and Magallanes. It excludes those portions of
Antarctica claimed by both countries.
