Heli-Fishing Program - #REMOTE

Way up north from the world-famous fly-fishing region of 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. After years exploring the region we were able to develop an expertise on the area and learned that simplifying access to the best fishing spots was key to the success of this program. Focusing on accessibility challenges, we have added a modern Bell 407 to the operation along with their team of expert pilots. We are now able to offer this amazing heli-fishing program.
Season runs November through May
Brown, Rainbow and Brook Trout

Solo Anglers, Couples, Families and groups of Friends

WiFi connection available
Horseback riding, golf, hikes, tours and more.

The Fishing

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’s soul. Especially for those that love solitude, a wide variety of environments and many miles of unpressured creeks and rivers.

Daily helicopter hops within short minutes will take you to a great variety of water systems including sight fishing on spring creeks, pocket water streams, larger rivers or even fishing from boats on stunning mountain lagoons. You will encounter wild rainbows, browns and book trout and you will be able to catch them on a diverse variety of techniques. But overall you will be walking in remote lonely areas surrounded by beautiful and pristine sceneries.

Different base camps in remote private ranches will allow us to show you a variety of environments during the week while bringing to the menu not only stunning sceneries in remote locations but also diverse experiences within the same week.

Both brown and rainbow trout 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 Patagonia.

Most of the area’s waters are spring creeks that originate in the high elevation wetlands of the Andes. The upper stretches are typically slow and meandering before reaching the lower elevations where the gradient and flows increase. The lower elevations provide an ample supply of productive pocket water but also a more productive water ecosystem with more food and typically larger trout.
