Between the waters of the Limay River and the mouth of Lake Steffen, where the lower Manso River originates, Juan Nazetta is the most daring guide for finding large trout, and especially magnificent brown trout. He has 10 years of experience as a guide. He started with our company, Trout Bariloche, and still works with us. His English is excellent, and he is also a very kind and easygoing person. He will be willing to go the extra mile for you.
He is very friendly and enjoys learning new fishing techniques, including the two-handed rod, with which he has caught some of the best trophies in the last three years on the Limay River in Bariloche, Patagonia, Argentina.
Fly fishing and fly tying have been Yair’s passions since childhood. He’s the youngest guide in our company, with only three years of experience. He explores the coast and the Limay River, fishing with dry flies, nymphs, and strike indicators. He loves new techniques and special nymph ties designed for fast sinking, and rainbow trout are his favorite catch.
Wherever you go, you’ll always remember Luciano Bachi for his friendship, his passion, his cheerful nature, and his culinary excellence. Luciano also studied aquaculture and runs the Argentine Fly Fishing School. He’s also part of our team; he’s helped us countless times and is a great friend of Emanuel’s. He’s a highly experienced guide, incredibly engaging, and a truly exceptional person. We hope you have the opportunity to meet Luciano and enjoy a fantastic day of fishing.
Our friend and ally, Juanito Bruzone, was one of this company’s first guides and a great friend of my parents. Juanito knows all the channels and river mouths of Northern Patagonia and is the most experienced guide, ideal for leading the casting workshops and the new fly-fishing school we’re opening at Trout Bariloche, so children can come and receive guidance from the very beginning. Juanito also has a very fun daughter who loves going out on his boat. In winter, Juanito teaches snowboarding. He has lived in the United States and is a wonderful person. An excellent companion for your fishing trip.
Hernán Esterita is a teacher and, at the same time, a charming and very funny young man. He’s passionate about his work: he’s been a guide for many years, has acquired state-of-the-art equipment, and owns a beautiful, new, modern, and safe boat for navigating Lake Nahuel Huapi. His learning process was very quick and, above all, very interesting: he caught large brown trout in Lake Nahuel Huapi. Always punctual, he leads his own team and has been working with us for four years. He’s a lot of fun, communicates very clearly, and is very kind. Trips on Lake Nahuel Huapi are also his specialty. You can discover wonderful views and incredible places that are otherwise inaccessible. For Trout Bariloche, working with him is a pleasure. Thank you, as always, for being part of our team.
Juan Pablo is one of the most reliable guides in Bariloche. He has twenty-five years of experience in northern Patagonia and is also a passionate dorado fishing enthusiast. Juan Pablo started as a rafting guide, with his own boats and company, and later added fishing expeditions. When there were still no guides on the rivers, Juan Pablo was leading the first expeditions. He’s a character, very funny; he loves fly fishing and is very patient and friendly.
His enthusiasm for fishing is always reflected in his smile.
