Guided Day Trips in Patagonia

Fly fishing in Bariloche, Argentina gives anglers access to some of Patagonia's most beautiful trout waters. Trout Bariloche offers private full-day and half-day guided fishing trips on the Limay River, Manso River and the lakes of Nahuel Huapi National Park. Our local Bariloche fly fishing guides choose the best water according to the season, weather and fishing conditions. Trips include transportation, professional fishing equipment and, on full-day trips, a riverside or lodge lunch with Argentine food and wine.

Our Bariloche fishing trips include drift boats, catarafts, motorboats, rods, reels, waders, and carefully selected flies for the day. Our English-speaking fly fishing guides in Bariloche will pick you up from your accommodation at 8:00 a.m. and take you to the best available waters. Everything is prepared for a comfortable, memorable day of trout fishing in Bariloche. Additionally, at our property on the Manso River, guests can enjoy horseback riding, rafting, hydrospeed, hiking, and introductory fly fishing lessons—perfect for beginners, families, couples, and non-anglers exploring Bariloche.

Float Trip Limay RIVER
The Limay River originates at the mouth of Lake Nahuel Huapi, beginning its long journey to the Atlantic Ocean in one of the world's best trout fishing grounds. A 45-minute drive from Bariloche will take you to this world-class fly-fishing river, located northeast of Nahuel Huapi National Park. The river flows through the Paso, a dry area with beautiful and picturesque volcanic rock formations and narrow canyons. In Mapudungun, Limay means "you can see through it." Thanks to its crystal-clear waters, it's a perfect destination for fly fishing, where you can spot enormous fish and cast them with dry flies. Our experience allows us to guide you and answer all your questions, ensuring you have a great day on the water. We are very patient instructors.

FLOAT & WADE Manso RIVER
The Manso River originates in the heart of the Andes Mountains and flows through Nahuel Huapi National Park. It is surrounded by a dense, humid forest. Undoubtedly, it is located in one of the most beautiful landscapes in Bariloche and Argentine Patagonia, with crystal-clear waters unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Navigating the Manso River in our boat is highly recommended for both beginners and advanced fly fishermen. You don’t need to cast very far to catch trout. It’s also an excellent opportunity to wade at our private fishing base camp—that is, fish on foot in the river: each pool has a shallow, rocky bottom and a gentle current. The fishing here is truly unique! We also offer fishing trips combined with adventure activities such as rafting or horseback riding.
