The Limay River lies between 10 and 50 miles from Bariloche, depending on the section we fish. Travel time is typically under an hour. We meet around 7:30 AM at a designated point in Bariloche before setting off for the river.

Once the boat and gear are ready, we fish from about 8:30 AM until 12:30 PM, when we break for a well-deserved riverside meal. After lunch, we return to the water and fish until around 4:00–5:00 PM, before heading back to your accommodation or meeting point.

The Upper Limay River is divided into four floatable sections, each stretching six to nine miles. Depending on the time of the season, certain sections may offer more productive fishing than others — but all hold the potential for memorable days on the water. And in every drift lies the rare, heart-racing possibility of hooking the fish of a lifetime.

The scenery along the Limay is nothing short of spectacular. As we follow its winding course, the landscape transforms from the snow-capped Andes to the wide-open beauty of the Patagonian steppe, creating a backdrop that’s as unforgettable as the fishing itself.

In midsummer, the Limay can deliver good dry-fly action, with large foamy terrestrials like Fat Alberts tempting aggressive strikes, as well as more delicate patterns for rising fish. Still, this is a river that truly shines with our beloved large streamers — in search of that trophy trout. Throughout the season, we fine-tune our gear and techniques to match conditions and maximize our chances.

TL;DR: we thoroughly enjoyed the trip and recommend booking it. My husband wrote an essay to express this. Our experience with Bariloche Fishing Trips was beyond what we could hope for. Leading up to the trip Matías regularly checked in to confirm trip details, answer questions and confirm logistics. On trip day the driver Fernando and our guide Dante arrived to pick us up right on time at our hotel. They were immediately welcoming as we started the long trek to the manso river. Throughout the drive we discussed the flora and fauna of the region, natural history, fishing tactics and had some good laughs. Once we arrived to the launch site it was like clockwork. The raft was in the water quickly, loaded and rods rigged up ready to go. Now for the good stuff. We were up against a lot that day. The manso’s water is crystal with what feels like infinite visibility. Seriously you can see every rock 20’ below the boat. On our trip It was hot, there was no wind to be had and not a single cloud in the sky. Aka a perfect day for most people in this absolute paradise while at the same time giving away every minor grace we as anglers desperately rely on as we fumble around casting drys to spooky trout. This is where the experience from our guide Dante really came into play. As with all floats I take I asked the guide to correct any mistakes I may be making, and to teach me how to fish their way. At least to me that the whole point - to learn how others fish in different scenarios so I can take that knowledge and apply it on my home waters. Right off the hop we were into mayfly patterns making ever so slight adjustments every few casts to dial in what the trout were after. We went over several tweaks to my cast that would help in these particular conditions. Tweaks so minor I probably would have never figured them out on my own and alas we started catching fish. For 10 hours Dante was there every step of the way. Wind knot? He had it fixed before you could even realize what happened. Fish rose up river of the boat? Yeah he was rowing us up so we could get a crack at it. My first Patagonian rainbow landed? We celebrated like it was his first too. When it came time for lunch we pulled over at this beautiful almost still pool. It was literally perfect. Dante cooked an incredible shore lunch for myself and my partner while we got out of the sun for a bit. The experience was exceptional. After that it was back to the river to finish the remainder of the float. I should note on this entire float my partner did not fish. Instead she was along for the ride and to watch the birds. In between casts Dante catered to that as well. Spotting birds, ID’ing them and positioning the boat in ways so we could better view them. In all we had a phenomenal day on the river. Many fish were caught. I personally feel like I gained many years worth of the knowledge in a single day. My partner who has no interest in fishing enjoyed every minute of it and we got to see the most beautiful stretch of water one could hope for. -Phil

O que posso dizer? A viagem foi perfeita. Eu me classificaria como um pescador experiente, mas novato na pesca com mosca. Pegamos muitos peixes em um dia lindo no Rio Manso e o Matt realmente me ajudou a melhorar minha pesca durante o dia. Da próxima vez que eu voltar a Bariclohe, Matt receberá uma ligação minha. 10 de 10.

Essa foi uma viagem de pesca incrível! A pesca, as acomodações e a comida foram todas incríveis. Pesquei com esses caras por três dias - dois flutuando no Rio Manso e um no Lago Hess. Dante foi meu guia e ele me levou a uma boa mistura de arco-íris e marrons pesados todos os dias. No primeiro dia, eles me pegaram em meu hotel em Bariloche. No rio, havia algumas eclosões de moscas caddis muito boas e eu pesquei principalmente moscas secas até o final do dia. Perdi a conta dos 14 peixes, todos bons e saudáveis, na faixa de 15 a 18 polegadas. Todos os dias, o almoço era feito à beira do rio, com Dante ligando sua churrasqueira portátil e servindo em uma mesa dobrável. No final do dia, voltamos a um acampamento agradável com todos os confortos de casa, incluindo uma barraca particular com espaço para a cabeça em pé e todas as minhas malas esperando. Tomas, que também é guia, preparou o acampamento de forma bem planejada e cuidou da cozinha. O jantar começou com coquetéis e aperitivos, seguido de churrasco argentino, salada e alguns acompanhamentos agradáveis. O café da manhã tinha tudo o que se podia desejar, desde frutas e iogurte até ovos. A localização do acampamento possibilitou a pesca ao longo do Manso em que estávamos, poupando-nos de uma viagem de aproximadamente 2 horas de carro até Bariloche todos os dias. No segundo dia, saímos diretamente do acampamento e os peixes estavam maiores, na faixa de 16-20+ polegadas. Não havia muita ação de mosca seca e pescamos mais streamers. O Manso estava muito claro e eu estava pescando com streamers. Foi realmente emocionante ver os marrons monstruosos se virarem para a sua serpentina. O terceiro dia no Lago Hess foi um dia “lento” - pesquei cerca de 5 peixes, todos marrons de bom tamanho, com três na faixa de 4 a 6 libras. Durante todo o tempo, Dante estava atento às mudanças de líder/tippet e de mosca. Dante é um habilidoso especialista em moscas e forneceu todas as moscas para a viagem. Todos os dias tiveram muita ação e mesmo o dia “lento” foi melhor do que o melhor dia em muitos rios que já pesquei. Nosso traslado foi conduzido por Santiago, que mora no Manso. Ele, Dante e Tomas são moradores locais que realmente conhecem o rio, estão sempre atentos às condições atuais do rio e garantiram que eu pescasse todos os dias. Matias fez um ótimo trabalho organizando tudo. Conversamos e ele garantiu que eu tivesse o tipo de pesca, coquetéis e refeições que eu queria. Ele também organizou e forneceu todo o equipamento - vadeadores, molinete e vara de qualidade. Muito útil se você tiver uma capacidade limitada de malas. Dante, Tomas e Matias falam bem inglês e a comunicação não é problema. E eles também o ajudarão com o espanhol, caso esteja aprendendo e tenha interesse. Não posso dizer o suficiente sobre esses caras. Se você estiver em Bariloche e quiser pescar, eu recomendo a Bariloche Fishing Trips!

Chegamos a Bariloche ouvindo histórias sobre as trutas monstruosas e místicas que vivem nessas águas. Dissemos que ficaríamos felizes se pelo menos um de nós pescasse uma. Nossas expectativas foram superadas com a quantidade de ação que tivemos. Desfrutar de um piquenique com bife e Malbec em um belo local no rio fez desse o melhor dia de todos. Estou ansioso para planejar minha próxima viagem para cá - espero que no outono para ver um pouco de ação com a truta marrom!

Um meio dia no rio Limay rendeu 2 trutas marrons com mais de 50 cm e 2 trutas arco-íris menores no barco, além de uma truta que eu perdi. Várias imagens do barco, com peixes individuais nadando ou relaxando no fundo e um monte de peixes cortando em um bolsão de remanso que não conseguimos fisgar. Foi um dia excelente e bem organizado com Matias, um guia incrível. Obrigado deste australiano do norte de Qld!
