TROUT FISHING INFORMATION
This Patagonian land shows magnificent snowcapped mountains with brilliant and warm summer days, their striking blue lakes and a low population enriches the visiting angler with a feeling of solitude and relaxation, without man´s impact on the environment and fishing. The grandeur of the Southern Andes is visible from every fishing location and the waters they supply are the clearest imaginable. These clear and cool streams are very well settle of rainbow, brown and brook trout that abound here, and ensure the region maintains its reputation as one of the worlds premier fly fishing destinations. A week spent fishing with us is a week that certainly will be one of the most memorable fishing experiences. Trust us and see by yourself, it´s one of the best trips of anywhere in Patagonia .

ESQUEL FLY FISHING REGION
This region offers a wide variety of quality fishing opportunities. Here in Esquel, we sit on the edge of a transition zone. To the west lie the snow capped peaks of the Andes and to the east the high desert. Driving from Esquel in any direction will take through dramatically different fishing and climate zones, from dense forested covered slopes with moist mountain air to barren scrub grass plains and dry desert conditions. The snow pack in the Andes provides the entire region with a consistent supply of clear fresh water. Very few areas in Patagonia offer so many distinctly different quality fly fishing spots than this in the Western Chubut Region. Some of the fishing streams in this area are the famous spring creek Arroyo Pescado, Rio Grande, Rio Chubut, Rio Corintos, Gualjaina, Willymanco, Nant y Fall, and more.

ACCOMMODATIONS
The fishing package includes accommodations in nice lodges in the National Park, and Esquel regions or cabins in the Patagonia Wilderness near the fishing scenery. The lodges have double occupancy rooms with a private bath, a really comfortable living, bar place, and a dinning room with excellent service. The meals at the argentine custom, are prepared with locally produced foodstuffs, serving tasty meats, pastas, vegetables, fruits and good argentine wines. The Patagonia Wilderness program is for anglers with less interest in luxury accommodation, anyway anglers will have a full service delighting very good dishes in warm cabins with double sleeping room and private bathroom.
