The Fishing
Pichi Leufu River. This is a small river on steppe area, born from waters in mallines (springs) and water-sheds in the high mountain. The key to this river is walking, and you can find Rainbows from 1 to 2.5 lbs. and Brownies of 5.5 lbs. Alumine River. Born in Alumine lake it has an extensive way of approximately 95 miles. Alumine River is perfect to make expeditions of several days, and specially the section that goes from Pilolil Bridge to La Rinconada or going down up to the ’Old Rafts
The Fishing. The Limay has three clearly defined moments throughout the fishing season (from November to April), which are very important and justify why the river is regarded as one of the best in Patagonia for fishing: spring, summer and autumn. 1st Spring. (Nov.-Dec.) Presence of great migratory rainbows in delayed spawning and post-egg laying, before returning to the lakes, and browns searching for rainbow eggs and fry to eat. High water level and volume, with floods in coasts and in low
2nd Summer. (Jan.-Feb.) Great fish return to the lakes and activate medium size trouts, both browns and rainbows. The water level decreases and warm temperature favors the appearance of insects. Since trouts commonly eat in the surface, this is a very good moment to try with dry flies and nymphs. 3rd Autumn. (Mar.-Apr.) <br>This is the outstanding moment of the river, when the greatest expectations appear, as well as difficulties. Shoals (mostly brown) begin to move from the lake, 9 pounds
Spawning time approaches. Trouts are not easily caught and mean a challenge for fishermen, fact which makes the activity both exciting and challenging. They demand long shots and great controlled drifts. Just arrived from the lake, trouts show a unique health and strength. The valley of Traful River is perhaps one of the most beautiful areas of the Patagonia Argentina. It is located east from Traful Lake , in Nahuel Huapi National Park , in Neuquen Province

Limay River
Limay River is born in the Andes, in Nahuel Huapi Lake, the third greatest lake in Argentina (2550ft o.s.l.). The average river channel measures 70mts wide and increases its size with each of the joining rivers along its 240 miles length. Our favorite area is that along the first 35 miles, after the lake, near Bariloche city and Villa La Angostura (our home) to the confluence with Traful River (famous for its landlocked salmon).
Manso River
Manso River is located on the south of Bariloche city, inside Nahuel Huapi National Park and it is born from glaciers in Tronador Mountain. Diverse rifles, runs, deep pools and long flats make this river a very entertaining one, specially for those enthusiastic about fishing with light equipment. Due to the great transparency of the water it is common to see the trout rising from the bottom to take our dry fly or to attack a nymph or a streamer
