Fly Fishing Patagonia

The Northern Patagonia region in Argentina is the most prolific dry fly fishing district in the world. The variety and abundance of fishable water would allow you to fish a different location each day for more than 100 days. Dry fly fishing is available throughout the entire season, November through May.
Five of the regions most famous rivers, several spring creeks, and pristine mountain lakes are all a short drive away. This region is a dry fly mecca.

Four major rivers

The lakes district area offers the possibility of floating different beats of four classic freestone rivers on day floats, or even multiple day floats. The Alumine, Collon-cura, Chimehuin and Caleufu are the main stars of our Spring Creek Lodge program.

Glacier Lakes

Not for nothing is called the Lakes District. A day fishing the lake, targeting Browns, Rainbows and Brookies on dry flies is a must. The Dragon Fly hatch (December – January) combined with the astonishing scenery is a full day the will last on your memory for a long time.

Spring Creeks

In addition to the major rivers in the surrounding area we also have fishing access to several nearby spring creeks. Many of the spring creeks that we fish offer slower moving or flat water. For many anglers the opportunity to sight cast to individual fish is the ultimate dry fly fishing experience.

The unexplored waters of northern Patagonia

Both browns and rainbows trouts have flourished due in part to the abundant food supply and ideal environment. You’ll find that these trout are the strongest and feistiest fighters that you’ll encounter in this part of Patagonia.

Heli Fishing

Way up north from San Martin and Junín de los Andes remains the best kept secret among Patagonia fly fishing destinations. Untouched and pristine rivers continue to be “off the radar” for locals and international anglers.
We have the ability to add a modern Bell 407 to access remote beats in a fast and easy way.

The Limay River

The Limay river is without a doubt, the biggest river in the area, limit between Neuquen and Rio Negro Provinces in Argentina.
This unique fishery flows from the Nahuel Huapi lake (near Bariloche) and from there is divided in different sections.
It offers chances for both migratory and resident browns and Rainbow trout.
Our River camps allows us to provide a 6 day float program on the mid section of this magnificent water.

Rakin lodge

Remoteness has kept this region’s waters untouched by anglers. The numerous creeks and high altitude lakes are just waiting to be explored. This translates into a paradise for anglers with an explorer soul. Especially, for those that love solitude, a wide variety of environments and many miles of unpressured creeks and rivers.

Casa de Campo

Casa de campo provides an excellent base for fishing the area’s numerous spring creeks, freestone creeks, the Alumine and Quillen Rivers, and several mountain lakes. These waters, especially the spring creeks, provide great sight fishing opportunities for trophy-size brown, rainbow and brook trout.

Spring Creek Lodge

Spring Creek Lodge redefines a way to discover northern Patagonia. Private guides and 4WD vehicles are available for every guest to enjoy their visit at their own pace. Besides world class trout fly fishing, in widely diverse environments, you can also participate in a large variety of outdoor and lifestyle activities.

Our River Camps in Northern Patagonia

Our camp trips focus on floating the five main rivers of northern Patagonia: Alumine, Caleufu, Chimehuin, Collon Cura and Limay. Many stretches of these rivers are remote and/or have extremely limited access. Camping programs provide the answer to allow you to experience and enjoy these otherwise inaccessible waters.
