Limay River Ranch sits on the Middle Limay, a broad, powerful tailwater running below the Piedra del \u00c1guila dam through open, high-desert Patagonian landscape. The lodge is built around individual guest cabins surrounding a larger communal space for dining, drinks, and evenings by the fire \u2014 a relaxed, contemporary take on the classic Patagonian estancia. It\u2019s roughly three hours by vehicle from Bariloche or San Mart\u00edn de los Andes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Middle Limay is regarded as one of the most productive tailwaters in South America, with trout growth rates to match: three-year-old migratory browns and rainbows commonly reach 23 inches, and fish well into the double digits are landed each season. Fishing is done primarily from drift boats covering long stretches of river, with excellent wading in the braids and side channels for those who want to get out and cast from the bank. Anglers can expect a genuinely technical fishery \u2014 dry flies, streamers, and nymphs all have their place depending on the day, and experience handling Patagonia\u2019s characteristic wind is a real asset here. The season runs strongest through the warmer months, with dry-fly activity building as the summer progresses and big browns pushing hard into the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a lodge best suited to anglers looking for serious, technical trout fishing on big water, paired with comfortable, understated hospitality at the end of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
