FLY FISHING PATAGONIA - RIO PICO +
Program
You will fish in the province of Chubut in the central Patagonia near Esquel.
First, 3 days in the area of Los Alerces National Park. And 7 days at Tres Ríos Ranch Lodge, 220 Km from Esquel, built alongside 3 rivers in the best fly fishing area of Patagonia. Lonely and silent rivers and transparent lakes. It is considered one of the most exciting and challenging trout and salmon fishing opportunities found in Patagonia. This is a tailored area for trophy fish. Anglers can hook rainbows as big as steelheads, or browns in the 10 pounds range, and brooks as big or more than Labradors. The Río Corcovado is famous for its great production of large rainbows and brooks. The lower Río Pico and Nilson are pretty small streams with thousands of fish per mile; these 2 streams are perfect for dry fly fishing. Lots of huge trout can be found tubing in still waters such as in Lago 3. Here the nature-protecting “catch and release” is law. You will have the privilege to fish in private areas (Private Estancias) and enjoy peace and exclusivity with one professional fishing guide from the Chubut province (official) for every 2 fishermen.
