Estancia Rio Pelke counts with private access to the best 5 trout rivers in Santa Cruz province, located only an hour and a half drive from the cities of El Calafate and Rio Gallegos.
Fly fishing for trout in these small rivers demand a unique approach and different techniques for brown and brook trout.
These rivers have been outside of the fishermen radar, the reasons why theykeep such good numbers and sizes. The ideal place for both experienced fly fishermen as well as those willing to learn from highly qualified instructors.
This boutique, family-style fly fishing program takes anglers on a truly authentic journey.
Guests stay at traditional family-run Argentine estancia (Two double rooms) dating back to the 1930’s as well as a unique wilderness eco-camp.

SteelHead
The fish were introduced in the early 1900’s, brought from Californias McCloud river. Steelhead have often been credited as being one -if not the- hardest fighting migratory fish and the specimens in Santa Cruz are no exception, where they can reach over 20lb.
Chasing these fish is a profound experience and the magnificence of the river and landscape will make you feel its magic.
King Salmon arrived to Southern Patagonia in the early 2000s.
Every year Chinook Salmon go upriver from the Atlantic Ocean to reach these pristine waters
The river has an stable colony of King Salmon that amazes by its number. The weight of these fish go up to 50 lb and bigger! With a record size of 90.3 lb from 2018.

With exclusive dates and areas for Fly-fishing and spin-fishing, the thrill of catching a king
salmon is guaranteed in this place.
