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.
