Explore Patagonia with the Driftless Angler
All the rumors you have ever heard about Patagonia and its incredible fishing, they are all true! Join us as we return to one of our favorite places on the planet to chase trout in some of the best trout water in the world.
When the snow is blowing and temperatures are frigid at home, we travel to northern Patagonia to warm up and fish on the storied rivers and lakes of Argentina. Each year we run into some great dry fishing with afternoon hatches and fish looking up for attractors and even terrestrials!
From day floats or walk and wade trips, to fishing the lakes during the dragonfly hatch (watching huge fish smash big dries is an experience you shouldn’t miss), to overnight glamping, this trip will give you the full taste of fishing Patagonia.
You will stay in private casitas (each angler gets their own room) and have coffee delivered to you each morning. You can watch fish rise in the spring pond and look out at the Lanin volcano off in the distance while you get ready for the fishing day.
After breakfast, your guide will pick you up at the lodge in the morning and take you out to your fishing destination for the day.
After the day ends you are returned to the lodge and will enjoy some of the finest local cuisine and wines prepared by the trained, professional chefs on staff. Expect to come home a couple pounds heavier after enjoying the excellent food and wine!
Part of the week of fishing includes a two day, overnight camping float. You float into your high end campground at the end of the day and are handed appetizers and offered something from the bar table. The hard working staff has everything set up and food cooking before you arrive. Each angler gets their own tent with a comfortable mattress on a cot and sleeping bag. There is a shower tent, bathroom tent, dining tent, and some of the best campfire food you will ever have!
We travel this time of the year to take advantage of the dragonfly hatch on the lakes. Casting from the boat into the crystal clear glacial lakes and watching huge trout come up to crush your large dry fly is a day not to be missed. Without fail, when people first come on the trip they hesitate to fish the lakes as they don’t see it as being like fishing moving water. After they get back from their lake experience, they are ready to fish the lakes again the next day.
This truly is a trip of a lifetime! Not only will you experience the incredible and abundant fishing that Patagonia has to offer, but you will feel like part of the family with our outfitters and guides. From wine tasting, to local music or a tango demonstration at dinner you will experience the best that Argentina has to offer while sampling some of the best trout rivers in the world!
