Robbed - Esquel

by: Dave Hanson
As I sat in my hotel room 30 minutes later, I thought to myself, what the hell was that all about!!! In the month that I had already been there I had never experienced at any time where I felt any threat of any sort and from then after I never did again. I guess it was to be expected entering a town at the time I did and sticking out like a sore thumb.

GT TACTICS

We had an amazing day catching a few milkfish on the fly and numerous grouper and snapper fishing sinking lines off a near by reef. Through the years we’ve done a decent job of keeping in touch; mostly by Vaughn sending me pictures of all the Giant Trevally (GT) he’s taken on a fly.
