Rio Gallegos Lodge - Patagonia Drift Fly Fishing

Fly Fishing Gallegos & Penitente Rivers

Located in the vast and wind-swept plains of Southern Patagonia, Rincón de los Morros Lodge offers exclusive access to some of the best sea-run brown trout fishing in the world. Nestled on a remote stretch of the Río Gallegos, and just minutes from the productive Río Penitente, this lodge-based program is designed for serious anglers in search of big, powerful sea trout in a truly wild setting.

After a full day on the water, enjoy classic Patagonian hospitality — home-cooked meals, good wine, and unforgettable sunsets over the open plains.

Rincón de los Morros combines world-class sea trout fishing with the experience of staying in a true Patagonian ranch.

What we offer:

Private Access to Prime Waters: More than 30 kilometers of private beats on the Río Gallegos and access to the Penitente, a smaller, more technical tributary known for holding large fish.
Trophy Sea Trout: Fish average 10–15 lbs, with regular catches in the 15–20 lb range each season. Fresh, bright chrome sea trout enter the system from December through April.
Fishing Techniques: Swinging flies with two-handed rods or precision casting with single-hand rods, depending on river conditions and angler preference.
Experienced Local Guides: Knowledgeable, bilingual guides help you read the water, choose the right flies, and get the perfect swing to tempt these elusive migratory fish.

Tackle suggestions

For Gallegos river we suggest spey rods up to 13′ with floating and intermediate lines. In Penitente river you can fish single hand rods class 6 or 7 with floating and intermediate lines. The river can change conditions in short time due rain, that’s why we also suggest to bring a set of sinking lines.
