Argentina Trout Trio
Nahuel Huapi National Park, Argentina

Few fishing lodges in Argentina can compare. From this incredible fishing lodge, anglers have the unique opportunity to fish for Brooks, Browns and Rainbows in both lakes and rivers. Located in the heart of Argentina’s Patagonian fishing country, just outside of Bariloche, this fishing lodge is perfectly situated on the most productive stretch of the Rio Manso. Exclusive access to numerous trout fishing hot spots ensures privacy, serenity and great fishing for Nahuel Huapi anglers. Complimenting the great trout fishing, the modern fishing lodge provides fantastic views and all the comforts of home. We invite you to join us for what is often referred to as “the fishing trip of a lifetime.”

The Fishing

High Season – November to December and March to April

(Evening dry-fly fishing can be great Jan and Feb)
The most important trout fishing river in the area is the Rio Manso. The river flows in and out of numerous area lakes, many of which are on our property. We have exclusive trout fishing access to 20 miles of the Rio Manso. We also fish in several smaller tributaries. Though the trout fishing locations and tactics change throughout the November to April season, the fishing can be excellent the entire season. One of the great advantages of the this fishing lodge is that anglers not only enjoy river fishing, but get to mix things up with great lake fishing too. The lake flats and shallows are ideal for bountiful Brooks. Typically, we fish the lakes Hess, Fonck, Roca, Moscos and Cesares. All trout fishing areas, rivers and lakes, are less than 20 minutes away from the fishing lodge. The trout fishing demands a variety of streamers, nymphs and dries. Recommended rod is a 5.weight with floating as well as fast sinking lines. Averaging 18-20" trout and 10 hits per rod are not unusual. Occasionally, anglers pull in 25-28” trout as well.

The fishing lodge is not only comfortable and elegant, but new as well. Built by fishermen for fishermen, Nahuel Huapi has all the necessities of a fishing lodge and then some.
