Limay Expedition

River of Monsters

If you’re hunting big trout in Patagonia, this is the trip. The Middle Limay is a large, slow-moving tailwater that carves through a desert canyon landscape. It’s home to the largest brown trout in the region—truly powerful fish that cruise ledges, drop-offs, and bank structure in search of big meals.

The program is designed around multi-day floats, covering over 80 miles of river from source to reservoir. You’ll fish a different section each day, stopping at comfortable riverside camps each night. There’s no better way to stay close to the water, fish rested beats, and soak in the full experience of the Limay.

Testimonials

The marsh was incredible. Really made great because of the weather and the fishing. The guides were fantastic and the food was awesome. The river was tough fishing – but again, weather dependent. I enjoyed my time and grateful that our group all caught dorado’s and we were able to celebrate together.

Bryan Webb

The lodge accommodations, all staff and guides, food and drink were first-rate – couldn’t be better. You accommodated those in our group who had health issues arise – much appreciated. Wildlife in marsh was astounding. Nothing you could do about the weather, which clearly slowed up the fishing in the marsh. The style of fishing on the Parana was a bit surprising, but quite enjoyable with casting targets galore and excellent boat control.
