We have combined forces with a group of flyfishing guides in Argentina that love to fish they way I do in Alaska - hard and all day long.  Together we offer several unique ways to flyfish Patagonia: Multi day float trips; Lodge based trips; Trips that combine a multi day float trips with some overnights in lodges and week long floats similar to our Alaska Float Trips.

After reading this page you may want some more details by using the links found up and to the right of this text, they will overlay a specific detail page. For more pictures try out our new photo gallery topics also on the right, a little further down the page.

A float trip has a few advantages for the serious fly fisherman or woman:  It gives you more time to fish since you are camped on the river, and it gets us into areas that are inaccessible to other anglers.

Combine that with a couple nights in a lodge or hotel and you have a comfortable adventure that lets you sample Patagonia's finest fly fishing rivers. These unique packages will include seven nights lodging and six fishing days, with two to four nights spent at riverside camps and the rest at lodges or hotels.

The lodge based trips are unique in that we do not limit ourselves to one lodge or one river, we actually rent the food and lodging at lodges where the fishing is good during the time you are coming to Argentina.  These rivers are very seasonal and the home water of any one lodge may be fantastic in December but dead in February.  The fish tend to travel into and out of reservoirs that are scattered throughout most of the river systems.  So the time of year of your trip dictates which lodge or two we will use for the trip, the advantage is easy to see: an independent local guide that knows which water to fish during which season. 

The trips start in San Carlos de Bariloche ( commonly referred to as Bariloche) which is about a  2 hour flight from Buenos Aires.  We will pick you up at the airport and get you to the lodge or hotel near the river for your first night.  From there it will depend on your itinerary, some will be camping on week long float trips others will be visiting a couple of lodges but one thing is constant: You will enjoy great meals, great hosts and catch lots of fish. We use all sorts of water craft and transportation for these trips depending on what piece of water we are fishing.  Many rivers are suitable for our 16 foot catarafts,  some we hike into, and  on others we use power boats. We fish small creeks, streams, rivers, lakes and ponds in pursuit of some of the largest specimens of Argentina's three trout species; Rainbow, Brown and Brook Trout.  These Patagonia trips are an excellent value for serious fly fishermen who want to spend lots of time on the water.  Each trip is customized based on your groups desire and the waters that  are fishing well that time of year.

We have specifically designed eight different fly-fishing packages that combine the very best rivers of Patagonia as the season changes.  We will take you to an adventure of a lifetime in the foothills of the Andes mountain range,  away from civilization, reachable only in 4x4 vehicles, rafts or extended walks; where rarely fished waters are packed with wild trout.

Here are a few sample itineraries followed by some pictures of one of our lodges , but remember every trip is customized for you based on where the best fishing is.

These week long trips run Saturday to Saturday - shorter trips are sometimes available
