An unsuccessful fishing trip in Sorata, Bolivia

Travelling down a major road strewn with boulders, mudslides and small lagoons should have perhaps served as a warning to us of the success of the trip. but, for some reason, it didn’t deter us.

I wanted to get in a few sights and hopefully a bit of sport fishing when my parents came down to visit. We got all the gear together and made a few homemade flies for the trip as well. Then it was off for the 3 our drive to Sorata, Bolivia in the raining season.

Regardless of the fact that the river looked like brown soup from the runoff, the hike down to the water and through the brush generated excellent memories and beautifully views to remember.

Take a look at the video below of the adventure and stay tuned for part 2 of our trip.
