Just in the nick of time as well.
Storms hit here yesterday late afternoon and carried on all night. Country roads are like a quagmire so had to cancel the removal of cattle to market. Over 100mm of rain over the last few days with more to come.
Actually despite the roads being a mess it's nice to see so much rain........hopefully the fishing will improve. ^

My first love is trout and salmon but one has to travel a long way to get to the rivers and lakes for them. Last time was down in Patagonia fishing for wild rainbows - great fun amid wonderful scenery.
Here where I live it's only coarse fishing for Carp and Catfish but the main species of fish is the pejerrey which is quite sporting.
Sport fishing is big business here in Argentina and the tackle shops are very good with lots of gear to choose from.....well worth having a look.
Talking about the weather.....Sad news just in is that 10 people have died in a tornado in Misiones.

I was surprised by how violent the weather can be here. A few years ago we had a tornado hit here - even although we were caught in the extremity of it I was quite shocked by the power of it. It wrecked the hangers at the local aerodrome and a few houses were badly damaged. The only fatality was a lorry driver whose vehicle was blown off the road........Scary stuff.
