Wild Trout Across Patagonia

Patagonia is home to some of South America’s most iconic freshwater trout fisheries, where rivers, lakes and reservoirs flow through an extraordinary landscape of mountains, forests and open steppe.

This experience brings together four outstanding fishing destinations: Bariloche, Esquel, Piedra del Águila and San Martín de los Andes, each offering its own character, waters and opportunities for pursuing wild trout.

The region is renowned for brown and rainbow trout, with additional salmonid species present in some waters. From intimate mountain rivers to expansive lakes and powerful tailwaters, the variety allows anglers to experience very different types of freshwater fishing.

Fly fishing is at the heart of the experience, although the regulations and opportunities vary between individual rivers, lakes and reservoirs. The waters around Bariloche and San Martín de los Andes are surrounded by forests and mountains, while Piedra del Águila is particularly known for the Limay Medio and its strong resident and migratory trout.

From the crystal-clear waters of the Andes to the open landscapes of northern Patagonia, this is a fishing experience built around variety, wild scenery and the pursuit of powerful freshwater trout in some of Argentina’s most celebrated fishing destinations.
