Kau Tapen

Summary

• Located in the heart of the Rio Grande - the best trophy Sea Run Brown Trout river in the world.
• Five world records have been set at Kau Tapen. 27-35 pound trout are caught each season. 20 pounders are caught every week.
• The most pools per angler per day-- only two anglers and their guide per beat and four to eight pools per beat- different beats every morning and evening--that's a lot of water to cover each day!
• Easy to read pool and riffle sequences on each beat.
• The easiest river you’ll ever wade, with a gravel bottom and an even flow.
• Kau Tapen can easily be fished with a 7 or 8 weight rod or with a two hander.
• Extensive beats make it possible to find a pool where wind is a help--not a hindrance.
• It is not all sinking line dredging-many trout are caught on floating line and even floating flies each seas.
