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.

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:
