Fly-Fishing Outfitters in Patagonia

Trout Fly-Fishing Lodge in Argentina

Huechahue is located at the heart of some of the finest fly fishing in South America and the world. Incredible rivers such as the Chimehuin, Alumine, Malleo, Quilquihue and Collon Cura are all easily fished whilst enjoying our warm welcome and comfortable accommodation in beautiful surroundings.

Prolific hatches of great yellow mayflies, caddis and willow worms provide exciting fishing. The trout also feed on pancora crabs and minnows.

Guests can choose to float and fish from drift boats or wade on stretches of river with private access.

The fishing season runs from 1st November through to the end of May.

Our Hunting Lodge in Patagonia

The lodge has ten double or twin-bedded guest rooms all with bathrooms en-suite. Four are on the first floor of the lodge and the others are in two chalets a short stroll across the lawn. Each chalet includes a communal sitting room area. All of the rooms have Wi-Fi.

Whilst staying at Huechahue, meals are usually served in the dining room of the main house and guests gather for drinks in front of the fire in the living room or watching the sunset on the terrace. Alternatively we make use of the ‘quincho’, our barbecue room, with an open fire pit perfect for ‘asados’ and celebrations.

We are 200 kms north east of Bariloche, 70 kms east of San Martin de los Andes, and 30 kms east of Junin de los Andes – where the national road RN40 crosses the Collon Cura River.
