Fishing is fun and Klinkhammer is an extremely effective fly, but it takes lots of time and patience to catch Arctic char with dry fly gear.

Self portrait - At 'work' on location.
If you can call it work to be in a place like this. 
You must not approach wildlife in Antarctic area closer than 15 feet (4.5 meters). However, when you lay down flat on the ground, the wildlife will approach you.

Looking at you, kid.
Coming in for landing (with feet out to slow down).
The Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) is a medium-sized albatross, at 80-95 cm (32-38 in) long with a 200-235 cm (79-93 in) wingspan. Over 70% of the global population of Black-browed Albatross breeds in the Falkland Islands.
It is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, mostly because of long line fishing after tuna, which kills about 5% of the population every year.
