SET Fly Fishing Where passion sparks adventure and people share our journey

Argentina is a vibrant tapestry woven with remarkable threads: delicious food, stunning landscapes, football fever, tango and most importantly, our unwavering passion.
At SET fly fishing, we embody this passion as anglers, infusing every journey with our energy. Our goal is simple – to create extraordinary experiences involving and creating opportunities for locals, through our unique lodges, our dedicated team, and our commitment to nature conservation.
With roots in both Argentina and the USA, we’ve been on this journey for over 20 years. Our guides, deeply connected to local culture, are our greatest assets. Alongside them, we manage distinct fly fishing lodges, each a gateway to a different experience.
Yet, above all, it’s about people. Join us in celebrating Patagonia’s essence, and the enigma of the golden dorado. We leave only footprints and take memories, ensuring these treasures endure.

Welcome to SET: Where passion sparks adventure, and people shape our journey.
