Tommy

Fishing guide
A Fisherman´s Soul

Tomás, known as Tommy, is a freelance fishing guide and one of the best "local boys". Kevin Tiemersma, Tipiliuke´s manager, remembered gioing fishing with Tommy, aged 8 at that time, and his father: "we walked from his house to the Lácar lake in San Martín de los Andes village to make a few casts from a little dingy and he catched bigger fish than us."

Just 10 years after those days, he was already guiding in Tierra del Fuego and soon after i nthe world wellknown Ponoi river, in the russian Kola peninsula.

Tommy is the kind of guy that after months of non stop guiding, he will still go fishing on his day off. He truly transmits his passion for fishing to those that share the river with him.
