Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure I welcome you to Solid Adventures Company. When I first started Loop Tackle Design, some thirty years ago, I had three things in my mind: to produce more functional and easy to use fly fishing tackle, to develop a network of fly fishing schools, and to find and fish as many untouched and virgin waters as possible. Looking back, I am proud to say that that we have fished many of our dream waters and several of are bring offered today under the Solid Adventures flag! We offer the best fly fishing destinations on the planet today in the unending search for untouched and unspoiled waters! We are still out there looking every day in order to find even better and more beautiful places to fly fish and to be able to offer these places to anyone wanting to fulfill their fly fishing dreams!
The first time we scouted Patagonia was in 2002, and almost immediately we struck gold. In Rio Gallegos we found our dream place for sea run browns and Solid Adventures has remained ever since. The fly fishing is so different, so exotic and so technical that it has become my favorite place—my second home. Rio Gallegos and
Solid Adventure's Las Buitreras Lodge have everything a fly fisher could ever ask for. Beautiful nature and wildlife, nice and friendly people and staff, excellent food and wines, and of course, extreme fly fishing! The waters may not be virgin, but with Solid Adventure's 40 kilometers of private water, the feeling you get is like fly fishing untouched waters every day. Using lightweight single hand fly rods, small rubber leg nymphs chasing 20 pound shy sea trout is incredibly exciting stuff! Plain and simple!
SOLID ADVENTURES, JURASSIC LAKE
Six years ago, we first heard strange rumors about a lake that supposedly held huge wild rainbow trout. The only problem was that without a helicopter you couldn’t go there...or so they said. We immediately sent a group of expert anglers on an expedition to find what would be known as
Jurassic Lake, and NO, we did not send them in a helicopter. The drive was nearly impossible the first time, and I’ve been told that after 10 hours of traversing horrific terrain with the truck jumping and shaking like a roller coaster, all team members swore to give me a solid punch in the guts as soon as they got their hands on me. Fortunately for me, after finding Jurassic Lake and fishing it for a couple of hours they all forgave me for sending them and Solid Adventures at Jurassic Lake was born. Within four hours we we had landed 70 huge chromers on three rods that were literally trying to rip the tackle out of their hands!
SOLID ADVENTURES, CUBA
I first visited Cuba some 13 years ago, and just like with Solid Adventures other destinations, this place immediately got me hooked. Bringing people to these fantastic fly fishing flats became a dream and something I knew had to do. I normally describe flats fishing for Tarpon as the Formula One of fly fishing. The adrenalin levels you experience when sighting a fish is a rush I wish every fly fisher to experience. Today, Solid Adventures is part of the
Santa Maria operation and
Paredon fishing paradise. We plan to expand our Cuba program with 2 or 3 more places for 2012. These new destinations are true virgin waters, untouched by fishermen and full of Tarpon, Bonefish, Jacks, Permit and much much more.
Finally I want to welcome all of you to join our adventures! No matter what your favorite type of fishing or destination may be, I promise you that our Solid Adventures team will do their absolute best to make your trip a dream come true!
Sincerely
Christer Sjöberg
Founder of Loop and Solid Adventures
