Brand Ambassador Emilie Björkman travels to Patagonia in search of legendary sea-run brown trout on the Rio Menendez, a tributary of the Rio Grande. From Ushuaia at the end of the earth to the story of brown trout worldwide, Wild fish. Wild places. explores the culture, challenges, and magic of fly fishing in Argentina.
In this second chapter, Emilie takes on fish whose power has made the Rio Grande system a pilgrimage for anglers across the globe. Her journey leads beyond the riverbank to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, where culture and wilderness converge at the edge of South America. Along the way, the episode uncovers the global spread of brown trout, the unwelcome shadow cast by fish farming, and the enduring effectiveness of the Sunray Shadow fly – more than 15,000 kilometres from her home waters in Sweden.
Wild fish. Wild places. is a six-part Loop production blending lifestyle, culture, and poetic storytelling to celebrate the people, waters, and wild fish that inspire us – and the responsibility we share to protect them.
