Patagonia is one of the world's great trout fishing destinations, combining crystal-clear rivers, mountain streams, pristine lakes and spectacular Andean landscapes.
At Argentina Big Hunting, we believe there is no single trout fishing destination that is right for every angler. The ideal program depends on the type of fishing you enjoy, the season, your experience, the time available and the other activities you would like to include in your trip.
Our role is to understand what each fisherman is looking for and organize the destination and program that best match those expectations.
Why Fish for Trout in Patagonia?
For many anglers, Patagonia represents one of the world's finest fly fishing destinations. Its combination of wild landscapes, clear mountain waters and wild trout creates an experience that goes far beyond catching fish.
Depending on the destination and season, fishing can take place on mountain streams, rivers and lakes surrounded by forests, mountains and open valleys. Some waters offer technical fly fishing and sight fishing, while others provide opportunities to explore larger rivers and remote fishing areas.
The result is a fishing experience where the environment is as important as the fish themselves.
Wild Trout in Argentine Waters
Patagonia is home to established wild populations of Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout, which thrive in the region's cold, clear waters.
Brook Trout (Fontinalis) can also be found in selected waters in Argentina, although opportunities to pursue them depend on the specific location and season.
We do not believe in offering the same fishing program to every angler. Our approach is to select the waters and destination according to the type of experience each guest is looking for.
Fly Fishing in the Argentine Andes
Fly fishing is at the heart of many of our Patagonia trout programs.
Experienced local guides help anglers select the most appropriate techniques according to the water, weather and seasonal conditions. Depending on the destination, fishing may involve wading clear mountain streams and rivers, fishing from boats or exploring larger lakes and waterways.
Our programs can accommodate experienced fly fishermen looking for challenging technical fishing as well as anglers discovering Patagonia fly fishing for the first time.
The emphasis is on enjoying the fishing, learning from knowledgeable local guides and experiencing the remarkable environment surrounding the water.
Corral de Piedra – Fishing in the Heart of Patagonia
Corral de Piedra is Argentina Big Hunting's own Patagonia property and the main base of our mountain operation. Located in the heart of the Neuquén Andes, it offers an exceptional setting for combining trout fishing with other outdoor experiences.
Surrounded by wild mountains, rivers, lakes, forests and open valleys, Corral de Piedra allows guests to experience Patagonia as a complete outdoor adventure rather than simply as a fishing destination.
Depending on the season and the program, guests can combine trout fishing with free-range Red Stag hunting, horseback riding, hiking and other outdoor activities.
This flexibility makes Corral de Piedra particularly attractive to anglers who want to experience more than one side of Patagonia during the same trip, as well as for couples, families and groups with different interests.
Arroyo Verde and Other Selected Fishing Destinations
Arroyo Verde is another excellent option for anglers looking for a dedicated Patagonia trout fishing experience. We work with this destination and can organize fishing programs there according to the requirements of each guest.
Beyond these destinations, Argentina offers an extraordinary variety of trout fishing waters.
Because we are not tied to a single fishing location, we can recommend and organize programs in different parts of the country when another destination is a better match for the angler. Depending on the objectives, season and type of fishing desired, this may include working with trusted local professionals in areas such as Esquel or organizing a program in remote destinations such as Lake Strobel.
The destination is selected because it is right for the fisherman—not simply because it is one of the places we happen to offer.
Fishing and Hunting in Patagonia
For guests who enjoy both fishing and hunting, Patagonia provides exceptional opportunities to combine the two activities in the same trip.
At Corral de Piedra, trout fishing can be combined with Argentina Big Hunting's free-range Red Stag hunting, creating a varied outdoor itinerary in one of our own Patagonia properties.
A trip can also be structured around different destinations when this provides a better experience for the guest.
Whether the priority is fishing, hunting or a combination of outdoor activities, we organize the itinerary according to the guest's interests, the season and the available time.
More Than Fishing
A Patagonia fishing trip is also an opportunity to experience one of Argentina's most spectacular natural environments.
Mountain landscapes, forests, rivers, lakes and wide open valleys create a setting where every day on the water becomes part of a larger outdoor adventure.
Depending on the destination, guests may also enjoy horseback riding, hiking, wildlife observation and other outdoor activities.
For companions who do not fish, we can also organize activities that allow everyone to enjoy the trip.
Professional Guides and Personalized Service
Every Patagonia trout fishing program is supported by experienced local guides who know the waters, seasonal conditions and fishing techniques of the region.
Argentina Big Hunting coordinates the different elements of the trip, from selecting the most appropriate destination and accommodation to arranging guides, transportation and the daily fishing program.
Our objective is simple: to organize the fishing experience that best suits each angler.
