Intensive fishing technique clinic

Do not be discouraged if you do not have any experience in fishing, this excursion includes intensive training to acquire the techniques of fly fishing and spinning.

Río de Las Vueltas

For all levels
The De Las Vueltas River has been home to Brown and Rainbow trouts for several decades and a place of spawning for the majestic Chinook salmon (with specimens that can weigh up to 25 kg)

On this fishing trip, you will have the option to fish these species with fly or spinning rod all day in a wonderful environment, always accompanied by a team of guides specialized in the area.

At lunch time there will be a stop at the Lago del Desierto where you will have the opportunity to improve your technique in shallow waters and clear of nearby groves, while we will be preparing a delicious barbecue (there are vegetarian or allergic options).

This river has meltwater with deep wells and strong currents so the activity is always adapted to your physical conditions and preferences.

Lago del Desierto

For all levels
The Lago del Desierto feeds on several streams from the majestic glaciers that surround it. It is the home of Brown and Rainbow trouts and the ideal place for fly fishing.

Lago del Desierto

The Fishing Excursion boat take you to one of the bays sheltered from the wind, where you will be alone, surrounded by a wonderful landscape: an optimal environment to practice this sport. For lunch you will return to the southern tip of the Lago del Desierto.
