Argentina: Patagonia's Central Fly Fishing Zone

The salmonidae, whose spawn and young were brought from different countries of the world, found in Argentina excellent habitat conditions, especially all along the Andeans at the mid-west of the country in the Patagonia.

The fly fishing and scenery of Patagonia-Argentina is very similar to the western states in the US, particularly Montana and Wyoming. The mid-summer weather is predominantly dry, hot during the day and cool at night. The rivers are mostly freestone with some spring creeks. Particularly in the spring creeks, the trout rise feverishly during a hatch to mayflies and caddis ranging from size 10 to 20. Otherwise, the most common form of food is the “pancora”, a fresh water crab-imitated by a black or olive woolly bugger or similar, size 2,4 or 6 wet fly.

The trout of Patagonia (browns, rainbows and brook trout) average 12-20 inches. Intermediate fly fishermen can expect to land trout over 20 inches and experienced anglers have a good chance of landing 5-15 pound trout. Many rivers also contain landlocked salmon, which can exceed ten pounds.

In addition to the landscape, the appeal of Patagonia is that it offers first class “off-season” fishing (November through mid April). Here, in Chubut, there are plenty of excellent areas with lakes, rivers, and streams, already known worldwide as good fisheries.
