Fly fishing is not only a way to fish but it is an adventure into one of the most beautiful and preserved territories in the world. In fact – you don’t have to fish at all if that’s against your ethics. It’s still a fantastic and one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Located in South America’s underbelly, Patagonia is a dream destination to any angler. In this wilderness of several rivers and lakes, several lodges are unique offering excellent accommodation and fishing experience. Here, we look at some of the best fly fishing lodges in Patagonia for instance Arroyo Verde, Collón Curá Lodge & Camp, Estancia Tres Lagos, Tipiliuke and others.
Arroyo Verde: A Slice of Heaven
Located in the beautiful Nahuel Huapi National Park, Arroyo Verde is a small family-owned and operated lodge whose main focus is luxury and privacy. It has the privilege of being situated on the famous Traful River with transparent waters containing rainbow and brown trout fish. This way, Arroyo Verde guarantees only several people at a time, which means that guests will be provided with an individual approach. The lodgings are log cabins with a luxury twist and make for a great place to rest after a day of rafting. Delicious meals, cooked with fresh produce from nearby farms, take the experience to the next level; that is why every visit to Arroyo Verde is special.
Collón Curá Lodge: A Hidden Gem
Collón Curá Lodge situated on the edge of Collón Curá River is another pride of fly fishing in Patagonia. Being situated in the area famous for sustainable fishing, the lodge offers excellent opportunities for fishing in both the fast water and the calm backwaters. The guests can fish for a number of fish species such as brown, rainbow, and brook trout. The lodge, which is a house, has big rooms, a nice view of the river, a warm sitting area with a dining section where good local foods are offered.
Estancia Tres Lagos: Where Wilderness Meets Luxury
In case one wants to get both the wilderness and the luxury, Estancia Tres Lagos will be a perfect choice. Located in close proximity to three spectacular lakes, this lodge provides an authentic fly fishing experience. Fishing enthusiasts can fish in both lakes and rivers and there are likelihoods of getting large-sized trouts. The lodge offers large tastefully decorated rooms, which are equipped with large windows with spectacular views of the environment. People can fish all day and in the evening they can stay in cozy communal spaces in the lodge, taste exquisite food and discuss the outcomes with friends by the fire.
Tipiliuke: A Historical Haven
Tipiliuke located in the middle of Patagonia offers history, culture, and incredible fly fishing. The lodge is situated on a century-old estancia with fishing rights to the Chimehuin and Quilquihue rivers teeming with trout. Fishing can be done at Tipiliuke in different styles with the help of the professional local fishermen. The findings relate to the lodge’s history and the interior design of the rooms and areas for communal use, which are tastefully decorated and welcoming. A notch higher on the luxury scale is the fine dining where emphasis is placed on the Patagonian traditional meals; the Tipiliuke is therefore a must-visit for fly fishing.
Estancia Tecka: An Angler’s Paradise
Located in the province of Rio Negro, Estancia Tecka is one of the biggest private ranches of Patagonia covering an area of over 435,000 acres and a dream come true for the fly fishermen. The estancia has well over 60 miles of private water, which comprises the Corcovado River and several spring creeks. It is a large area that gives fishermen an opportunity to fish for trout without meeting other anglers or fishing for trout in different environments. The facilities at Estancia Tecka are opulent and comfortable with large bedrooms, fine dining hall and restaurant as well as comfortable sitting areas. This makes it possible for the lodge to keep the natural resources such as the fish and the general environment free from destruction in the coming future.
Limay River Lodge: Modern Comfort in the Wild
Situated on the Limay River, Limay River Lodge is the first and the only lodge in Patagonia that specializes in fly fishing only. The lodge provides basic amenities in the context of comfort and accessibility of the rooms. Tourists can fish in the Limay River that has large brown trout and strong rapids or currents. It offers professional guides, good equipment, and many fishing packages to meet the clients’ experience level. When the fishermen return from the day of fishing they can rest in a comfortable living room area that is as contemporary as it is rustic, savor the delicious food, and gaze at the stunning nature that surrounds the lodge.
