GUIDED FLY FISHING TRIPS

From intimate mountain streams to legendary trout rivers, Patagonia Drift offers fully guided float trips, walk-and-wade adventures, lodge programs, and wilderness river expeditions for anglers of every skill level.

LIMAY RIVER FLOAT (Full-Day Guided Trip)

Home to some of Patagonia's largest migratory brown and rainbow trout, the Limay River is one of Argentina's premier fly fishing destinations. During the spring opener and again in autumn, trophy trout migrate from the lake into the river, giving anglers the opportunity to hook fish exceeding 10 pounds in remarkably clear water. Throughout the summer, prolific hatches provide outstanding dry fly fishing, while nymphing and streamer fishing remain productive all season long

FISHING THE LAKES (Full-Day Guided Trip)

Escape into the pristine waters of Nahuel Huapi National Park, where remote lakes such as Mascardi, Hess, Roca, Fonck, and Guillelmo offer outstanding trout fishing in complete solitude. Fish from our drift boats while casting streamers, dry flies, and nymphs to wild brown, brook and rainbow trout cruising rocky shorelines, submerged structure, and drop-offs. It's a unique combination of spectacular scenery, crystal-clear water, and unforgettable fishing.

RIVER EXPEDITIONS (Multi-Day Tips)

Join Patagonia Drift on an unforgettable multi-day fly fishing expedition through the heart of Northern Patagonia. Our fully outfitted float trips take you deep into the untouched wilderness of the Limay, Collón Curá, Aluminé, and Caleufú rivers—legendary fisheries renowned for their beauty, abundant trout populations, and incredible diversity of water. Spend your days drifting world-class rivers, fishing productive runs and riffles, then relax each evening in comfortable riverside camps beneath Patagonia's unforgettable night sky.

LODGE PROGRAMS (Multi-Day Tips)

Enjoy the perfect balance of exceptional trout fishing and premium accommodations. Our lodge-based programs on the Limay and Collón Curá rivers are designed for anglers who appreciate world-class fishing during the day and outstanding comfort, cuisine, and hospitality each evening.

PATAGONIA DRIFT IS TOP SHELF Mauro's a great guide, oarsman, sommelier, cook, and general all around guy. My and my buddy travelled all the way to Patagonia to spend the week with him, and we're glad we did. Mauro's knowledge of the Limay is excellent. For the best chance to get the big ones, you're going to have to get deep with heavy lines, shooting heads, sink tips, etc. I had zero familiarity with that type of bigger gear, but Mauro helped me through it. By the end I was able to shoot the line out into the deep water seams necessary to reach the big fish. My buddy caught the biggest fish, a 29" brown! Overall, the experience was great, a memory of a lifetime.

TOP NOTCH The entire family had a great day on the water. The guides worked hard to put us on fish. They spoke english well. Their equipment was high end. They were very accommodating on waiting until the day before we arrived to pick the best river to fish based on conditions. River side lunch of steak over an open fire with a bottle of wine was a nice treat.
