  Argentina  
 

A large and beautiful country, typically known for being the land of the big asados, gauchos, agriculture, mate, wine and tango, must also be identify as being a world class fly fishing destination where big wild German Browns, McCloud-strain Rainbows, Sebago Land-locked Salmon and Eastern Brookies can make your trip unforgettable.

Trout and land-lock salmon were stocked in our rivers and lakes in 1904 and since then, their wild genes remain intact. The adaptation of these fish was excellent, finding in our pristine waters an amazing habitat. Their numbers increased very fast, spreading themselves in all our Andean river system......

Today, thanks to those visionary people, we can enjoy some of the " finest fly fishing around the world ".

Patagonia Argentina

With an approximate surface of 787.000 km2 (almost the third part of the total surface of Argentina), Patagonia is located at the southern corner of the American Continent. As a region it includes the following provinces; Neuquen, Rio Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and Islands on the Atlantico Sur.

Tactically located in Neuquen province, on the North West side of Patagonia Argentina, just on the border with the Lanin National Park, San Martin de los Andes is our base and home town.

The geography, pleasant weather, wild life, crystal clear lakes and rivers, and the low populated areas, make this area a great destination for the outdoors lovers; and of course, feel like paradise for those who love fly fishing.
