Patagonia Fly Fishing
Fishing in all of our operations
Fishing across all our operations is a truly exceptional experience, offering access to some of the most pristine and productive waters in Patagonia. Each location is just minutes away from breathtaking rivers, spring creeks, and lakes – ensuring more time casting and less time driving. Our expert guides tailor each outing to match your skill level and interests, maximizing both challenge and reward. With stunning scenery, world-class trout, and seamless logistics, fishing with us is as effortless as it is extraordinary.
Wading Equipment
- Breathable waders, rubber soled wading shoes (felt soled wading shoes are not allowed at Rio Manso Lodge), and a wading staff are all appropriate. If your wading shoes have cleats or studs, please remove them as they can puncture our rafts.
- Please be sensitive to invasive species like whirling disease, didymo, New Zealand mud snails, etc. and be sure your wading gear is clean and dry. Better yet, if you are considering new waders or wading shoes, get them for this trip.
- Orvis, Simms, and Patagonia all make excellent shoes and waders. The guides will put you only in water where you are comfortable. The wading is good and the bottom dependable. There generally will not be much walking involved ingetting to and from the water. Exceptions to this could involve some optional side trips to water accessible only by hiking in or riding horses if you are looking for a little more of a challenge and an even more remote setting. Of course, the rewards can be worth it!
Our Guides
- Rio Manso’s guides are some of the best in the business. They are all experienced professionals with years of guiding the rivers and lakes of Patagonia. Professional guides in Argentina must pass an exam only given every two years. All our guides speak excellent English. Tell them your preferences during the day, and they will try to give you the best fishing experience possible. Although most guests bring tackle and flies, don’t be surprised if the guide pulls something out of his own box for you to use. Are you looking to improve your fishing technique or some casting instruction? Our guides are happy to help you hone your fishing skills.
