Each day, we float about 10 miles along one of the region’s most renowned rivers, fishing prime waters at the best times of day — from sunrise to sunset. After a full day on the river, you’ll arrive at the Lodge to enjoy fine wines, cocktails, and a hearty dinner.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, this package is safe, well-organized, and ideal for families or groups of friends. Everything is included, and booking is easy!

About the facilities

The lodge will be entirely private for your group and consists of two cozy cabins, each with its own private bathroom. One cabin features a single bedroom, while the other offers two bedrooms, providing flexibility and comfort. Nestled right on the riverbank, the property offers stunning views and a truly beautiful setting to enjoy.

Our recommendation is a full week of fishing, with the option to take a rest day to recharge or enjoy non-fishing activities. Whether you are an experienced angler or trying fly fishing for the first time, this package is safe, expertly organized, and ideal for families or groups of friends. Booking is simple, and every detail is thoughtfully arranged.

Meals

Menus are arranged in advance and customized to your tastes. Here’s a sample of our most popular selections:

Dinner: Prepared by our staff on the griddle or the traditional Patagonian disk, featuring regional specialties such as Patagonian lamb — always a guest favorite.

Breakfast: Fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, toast, cereal, yogurt, and excellent coffee.

Lunch: A unique menu each day, served riverside by your guides in the middle of your fishing adventure (vegan options available).

  • The Limay River lies 10 to 50 miles from Bariloche, depending on the section we fish, with travel times usually under an hour. We meet at 8:00 AM at a designated point in Bariloche, then head to the river.

    Once the boat and gear are ready, we begin fishing around 9:00 AM, continuing until about 1:00 PM, when we pause for a riverside lunch. Afterward, we return to the water until approximately 4:00–5:00 PM, before arriving at the Lodge. There, our support team will have everything prepared so you can relax and unwind.

    As evening sets in, enjoy a freshly cooked dinner before resting for the next day’s adventure. After breakfast the following morning, we fish new waters and explore new stretches of river. This rhythm continues throughout your trip, with each day offering fresh scenery and unforgettable moments. On the final day, we return to Bariloche and take you back to your accommodation or meeting point.

Amazing experience! Me and a friend went to the Limay River for a full day. Matías was super easy to talk to via Whatsapp, and did a great job coordinating and making sure we had everything we needed. Our guide was Tomas, who was also incredible; very easygoing and knowledgeable of the river and trout. The meal he prepared was perfect, relaxing with some wine and eating a steak right next to crystal clear water is an experience we won’t soon forget. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking to get out and flyfish in the Patagonia!

Wonderful experience!! Had a fabulous time on the Limay River with Aliosha, our local guide. Easy float down the river with casting friendly pools. Lots of technical challenges as well. Aliosha is a master at positioning the drift boat tailored to our skill set. Was impressed with his knowledge of the river and pools. Gin clear water, easy to see a take before the fly disappears! Saw some 3-4 kg browns but couldn’t convince them to eat. Caught lots of bows! River side ‘lunch’ was superb, best I’ve ever had. Worth the float just for the scenery and lunch! If you want a pleasant day on the Limay and a shot at some trophy browns, give these guys a call!!

Fished with Aliosha. He was an amazing, patient, positive guide. The conditions were extremely challenging, but by the end I had caught the fish of a lifetime! What a crew! Fished a second day with Aliosha. Again he was fabulous. The food Matias put together was worth the trip in itself! The fishing was very challenging that day, but at the end, with much encouragement from Ali, we caught a brown trout of a lifetime. These guides are the BESt!

Outstanding fishing experience with Matías and Dante! We caught so many fish each day and the guide kept us focused on the big monster brown trout! If you like fish hard and be treated to a river doe Argentinian lunch with steak, wine, and cheese then this is the trip of a lifetime! We Flores the upper and lower section of the Rio Limay! I will be back!

Perfect day on the river. We are only beginners and the guide was very helpful and patient. We got lucky and caught tons of fish, but regardless it was beautiful to float down the river, enjoy nature and the gorgeous snow capped mountains.

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.

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.

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.

We provide all fishing equipment, food, and beverages. You should bring:
