For a morning half-day trip, we usually meet around 7:30 AM at a designated point in Bariloche before setting off for the river. Starting time could be adapted. We have private accesses that allow us to provide 4 different half  days and the best fishing opportunities.  

Once the boat and gear are ready, we fish from about 8:30 AM until 12:30 PM, then head back to your accommodation or meeting point. Along the way, we’ll make short breaks to enjoy snacks and refreshments right on the boat. 

The Upper Limay River is divided into four floatable sections, each stretching six to nine miles. For our half-day trip, we float the first section — the one closest to Bariloche.

The scenery along the Limay is nothing short of spectacular. As we follow its winding course, the landscape shifts 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, we often encounter exciting dry-fly action, with large foamy terrestrials like Fat Alberts provoking aggressive strikes, as well as smaller, more delicate patterns for rising fish. Still, the Limay is a river that truly shines with our beloved large streamers — ideal for tempting that elusive trophy trout. Throughout the season, we fine-tune our gear and techniques to match conditions and maximize our chances of success.

We came to Bariloche hearing stories about the mystical monster trout that live in these waters. We said we would be happy if at least one of us caught one. We had our expectations exceeded with the amount of action we had. To enjoy a steak and Malbec picnic on a beautiful spot on the river made this the best day ever. Looking forward to planning my next trip down here—hopefully in the Fall to see some brown trout action!

The company arranged a wonderful trip to the Limay River. Aliosha is an excellent guide, very organized and patient. It was my first experience with fly fishing, and I was successful in catching fish (4 trouts) The best part was the beautiful scenery and the overall experience of the trip.

We went fly fishing with Tomi Fentini of Fly Fishing Guides Bariloche. He went truly above and beyond. His instruction was incredibly helpful and he was able to give a beginner in an our group a wonderful experience. Fishing with him would be enjoyable even if we skunked. The lunch was unbelievable. In addition, he delivered the goods. He also advised us on fly fishing opportunities elsewhere in Argentina which resulted in the fish of lifetime. I couldn’t recommend him more.

We had such a great day fishing with Matias' guides. My wife and I had Dante. We also had Tommy and Ali (sp). The guys were amazing, the Limay River is one of the prettiest rivers on the planet. Did I mention the shore lunch!! One of our best meals in Bariloche, and definitely the best view, wine and service.

Had a great day fly fish with Dante on Limay. It was the most beautiful river I have ever been on. My girlfriend and I are both beginners and Dante was very patient with teaching us and getting us to spots to catch fish. We caught 6 rainbows despite just learning and it was a blast. Had a delicious steak lunch on shore. It was one of the best fishing experiences I've experienced. Matias the owner was very responsive with the booking process, everything was smooth.

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:
