Provo Brothers
I'm a bit of a tech junky and love seeing the what's new in the gadget world. One of the places I love to check out outdoor gear, new videos and plenty of other tech gadgetry is Gear Patrol. They often feature great videos in the fly fishing genre, and I always enjoy a good video, even if it's skiing or mountain biking.
They recently featured a medium length film by the Provo Brothers. You can follow along a Bolivian Amazon adventure doing some fly fishing as well as a trip up in to the mountains.
Take a midweek break and kick back for a few minutes and live a great adventure.
A fly-fishing journey to the Bolivian Amazon. We wanted to experience the rawness of the jungle in the richest ecosystem on earth, to have a primordial connection with nature that for us, is best achieved through exploration with a fly rod. Our Tsimané guides brought us into their jungle, back in time to a lost world of primitive living, giving us the opportunity to catch a Golden Dorado, one of the most possessed fish that swims. The Amazon wilderness holds many mysteries, but we found out for ourselves that the real treasures of the jungle live beneath the canopy, and swim through its pristine rivers. From the lowland tropics to the high altitudes of the Cordillera, our fly-fishing trip became more of a lesson in the immense diversity of Bolivia's landscapes and people. We invested everything we had, but came home feeling rich with new knowledge and experiences that are now priceless.
If you're interested in an expedition style fly-fishing trip to the headwaters of the Bolivian Amazon, you must contact our friends Patrick Taendler and Federico Marancenbaum from Santa Cruz. They shared with us their passion and enthusiasm for Golden Dorado, and there is no way in hell we could have done it without them! www.facebook.com/anglingfrontiers
