Fly fishing season. The fishing season opens on November the 1st and ends on May the 1st. As the season begins in late spring and early summer the water level of the rivers is high because of snow melting. Rainbow trouts have finished their spawning, feed aggressively and offering fierce battles. You can spend all day fishing without meeting any other angler, just you and the spectacular scenery of the Andes. This is one of the most productive periods and offers a unique opportunity of a tremendous fishing. We use sinking or sinking tip lines with nymphs or streamers, sizes 4 to 12.

During January and February the volume of water rivers carry gradually decreases, temperature rises and we fish trouts with sinking as well as with floating lines, depending on the weather conditions and the time of the day. At the end of March and during April it is early fall, as water temperatures of the rivers diminish, trout become more active and start to move from the lakes into the rivers and streams, it is show time. You can expect good captures with floating as well as with sinking lines. Big trout are on the move, over 10 pounds can be caught if you are lucky.

Fly fishing. Every day the guide will take you from our base in Trevelin to different fishing spots, rivers, streams and glacial lakes with great population of rainbows, browns and brook trouts of good size (over 15 inches) having always the possibility of catching trouts between 4 and 8 pounds, that will ensure you an amazing fishing experience.
