NEW BOOK
coming soon

A Season in Patagonia is angler, naturalist, and outdoor conservation author Steve Ramirez’s newest collection of fly fishing, nature trekking and exploration stories that are intended to entertain and enlighten his readers while focusing on “Nature and the Best of Human Nature.”  In A Season in Patagonia, Ramirez takes us on an epic journey retracing the westward expansion of Euro American Conquistadors while exploring the legacy and lessons offered by the indigenous peoples of Mexico, Central, and South America. Traveling thousands of miles by bush planes, drift boats, pangas, four-wheel-drive vehicles, horseback, and on foot, we will experience the waters, landscapes, cultures, and histories of each place and its people. Along the way we will explore rainforests and cloud forests, mountains and mangroves, rushing rivers and rolling seas. And we will encounter incredible fish and other wildlife that reflect the peoples and places of “The Americas” – south of the Rio Grande. A Season in Patagonia is an adventure of discovery, wonder, gratitude and joy. It is a call to action and a reason for hope.
