The Chimehuín is a medium-sized river that rises in Huechulafquen lake and flows for about 40 miles till it joins the Aluminé, giving rise to the Collón Curá. Being one of the first fly fished rivers in Patagonia and thanks to its extraordinary formation, the Chimehuín is the most famous fly fishing river in Argentina; nowadays it’s one of the most researched rivers and counts with a huge amount of available information. The Chimehuín yields rainbow and brown trout weighting from 1 to 6 pounds, although it’s not unusual to land 12+ pounders or even larger fish. We often choose the lower section of the Chimehuin for expeditions due to its inaccessibleness, which allows a low fishing pressure. 

Available for all fishing techniques and harmonious weather conditions during the whole season makes Chimehuin an absorbing camp expedition alternative.
