Diversity of the Esquel, Los Alerces National Park and Rio Pico region is one of the many reasons anglers decide to fish here. The Lodge offers an assortment of spring fed creeks, private waters, large and small rivers and lakes in surreal settings. Fishing with dries, streamers and nymphs are the perfect combination to hook wild rainbows, browns, brookies and salmon; simply magical. The lodge is placed on the banks of one of the best lakes for huge Brown’s providing early morning and late evening fishing opportunities before breakfast and after dinner for the more hard-hitting, relentless competitor.
