THE BEST BENEFITS
LODGE INFORMATION
The Fishing
Species
The majority of the rivers that you will fish in Patagonia are home to brown and rainbow trout, as well as brook trout. Additionally, landlocked salmon call some of these beautiful rivers home. It is still possible to target native Silversides (similar to the American white fish) and Perch (Patagonian Trout) in some especially unique waters.
Recommended Gear
Anglers fishing in Patagonia are recommended to have a 6wt fly rod with floating line as well as an 8wt fly rod with a 250/300 grain sink tip for streamer fishing. Fishing here is conducted with everything from dry flies to nymphs and streamers, so having a good selection of all of these flies is crucial!
Accommodations
Estancia La Paz
Anglers fishing with Patagonia Angling Company will stay at the beautiful Estancia La Paz. This impressive 7500-acre ranch neighbors Los Alerces National Park to the south, and offers exclusive waterfront access to the Rio Grande, numerous hiking trails, and the most luxurious spa in the area. Our anglers will stay in private log cabins overlooking the Rio Grande. Each cabin has central heating, a fireplace, and queen sized beds.
Dining
The food consists of a selected gourmet menu, which mixes local vegetables and meat. The menu is based on fresh ingredients with a significant Argentine touch.
Each of our meals is accompanied with a carefully selected wine. If there is a characteristic culinary trademark of Argentina, that would be its beef and wine, so be prepared to enjoy them together!
Our breakfast is the typical Patagonian breakfast, and consists of toasts and baked delicacies, with fresh juices, seasonal fruits, coffee and tea. Lunch, a fully catered meal, will take place by the river, and include meat, salads, wine and dessert.
Seasons
November/December
The fishing season here begins in November, once runoff has subsided and rivers return to normal flows. Fish are very eager to feed after a long winter, and the chance to catch a trophy fish is always around the corner. Dry flies, nymphs, and streamers are all productive this time of year. The weather is comparable to Rocky Mountain spring weather, with temperatures ranging from the 50s to the 70s.
Jan/Feb/Mid March
Full summer has arrived! The chances of rain in the region are very low and temperatures are in the 80´s F°, with some peaks in the 90´s F°. When it’s hot, the splash of a big trout, as you reel it in, will cool you off! Dry fly fishing is top notch and Hopper fishing is at its best.
Mid March/April
Fall arrives, and Patagonia becomes colorful and vibrant! The days are a bit shorter, rivers are lower, and fishing remains great since fish know that their feeding window is about to close. The fall weather is characterized by colder nights and mornings, and mild temperatures during the day.
The Program
What Makes PACo Unique
As a limited, small, and exclusive outfitter, Patagonia Angling Company is able to provide an experience like no other.

The typical stay of most anglers is a week, but we can tailor your trip according to your desires. Please let us know your preferences and we will strive to make your dream fishing trip a reality!
Non-Fishing Activities
Although specializing in fishing, Patagonia Angling Company is able to offer guests a wide range of other complimentary activities including horseback riding, hiking, bird watching, cultural tours, and sightseeing float trips.
