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.

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.

Located inside "Glaciers National Park” on a privileged spot, almost impossible to get by foot or any vehicle. .
With exclusive dates and areas for Fly-fishing and spin-fishing, the thrill of catching a king
salmon is guaranteed in this place.

amidst the most picturesque scenery that Andean Patagonia and Los Glaciares National Park
have to offer. We are exceptionally fortunate to have exclusive access to the sacred
headwaters of the mighty Caterina River.

King Salmon arrived to Southern Patagonia in the early 2000s.
In this lonely place of the Andes they have developed a numerous population that
grows every year due to the really low fishing pressure and not having many predators
above them.
Every year Chinook salmon move upriver from the Atlantic Ocean, thru the Santa Cruz
river and Argentino lake, to arrive to these pristine waters.
