Alicura Reservoir, located along the Limay River about 60 miles from Bariloche, is one of the premier fishing destinations in Northern Patagonia. Surrounded by dramatic steppe landscapes and wide-open spaces, it offers a truly unique setting and exceptional fishing conditions.
Renowned for its large trout, Alicura provides some of the best opportunities in the region to target trophy-sized rainbows, with the occasional brown trout as well. It is also one of only two waters in Patagonia open to fishing during the winter season—together with Moreno Lake—making it a rare year-round destination for anglers.
Trips can be tailored to your preference, with the option of a full-day outing (8 hours on the water) or a half-day adventure (4 hours on the water).

Alicura Reservoir is about an hour and a half from Bariloche, following scenic roads that trace the Limay River valley. We typically meet between 7:00 and 8:00 AM at a designated point in town before setting off for the reservoir.
Once the boat and gear are ready, we fish from about 9:00–10:00 AM until 1:00 PM, when we pause to enjoy a well-earned meal along the shore. After lunch, we return to the water and fish until around 4:00–5:00 PM. From there, we head back to your accommodation or the agreed meeting point.
FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t own fishing gear. Do you provide it?
No worries—we provide everything you need. All equipment is included and tailored to the waters you’ll be fishing, including rods, reels, lines, and flies.
Do I need to know how to fly fish?
Not at all. Our guides love introducing newcomers to this fascinating sport and will do their best to help you land your first trout on your very first fly-fishing experience. Alternatively, most of the waters we fish are also suitable for conventional spinning gear.
I’m vegetarian/vegan. Do you offer alternative food choices?
Absolutely. We’re happy to adapt meals to your dietary needs. Just let us know about any preferences or restrictions in advance, and we’ll make sure you enjoy the food as much as the scenery and the fishing.
What personal gear should I bring?
We provide all fishing equipment, food, and beverages. You should bring:
- Sunglasses (essential for both safety and comfort while fishing)
- A warm layer, as Patagonia’s weather can change quickly
- A hat and sunscreen for sun protection
My partner doesn’t want to fish. Can they come along?
Of course! They can relax and enjoy the stunning scenery and delicious food. And who knows—after a day surrounded by Patagonia’s beauty, they might even be tempted to give fishing a try.
