If you are a guest at the beautiful Port Howard Lodge, the Warrah is fairly close to you. The river winds itself as a neat stream between the green heights parallel to West Falkland Road until it then considerably widens in the north and flows into the Keppel Sound in front of River Island. Also noteworthy is its beautiful tributary, the Green Hill Stream. You shouldn't miss this on your fishing trip. You get to the Warrah when you leave the West Falkland Road and drive cross country with your off-road car. Caution: As always on the Falkland Islands, it is not advisable to just "follow your nose“, but to seek support from the locals. Thus our guide Peter took us effortlessly to the Freezer Pool, so we were able to get started without further ado. What is my conclusion regarding the Warrah? Some claim that there are fewer but larger fish in the Warrah than in the Chartres.
I say with emphasis:
Larger: Yes, indeed!
Less: Oh God, no!
It was a real pleasure to fish the Warrah. You can wade along the bank very safely and comfortably and fish the opposite bank with great elegance and precision. A switch or a light double-hand rod is very helpful here. That way you can cast long distance with an underhand technique instead of casting overhead. We caught very well and Eddie is still mourning over the gigantic sea trout monster his fly ALMOST took.
