I just got back from a bucket list trip to Argentina and Chile. This was a trip with my non-fishing wife, so it was not a fishing trip solely. But to her credit, she put on the waders and chucked some flies with me for a few days. She actually caught a bunch of fish too!
We spent a total of 10 days traveling through northern Patagonia, starting in Buenas Aires, then to Bariloche, Peulla, Chile, Puerto Varas, Chile and then Santiago. We floated the Limay River outside of Bariloche, waded a private section of the Pichi Leufu River on a massive sheep ranch outside of Bariloche, and floated the Maullin River near Puerto Varas, Chile.
It was spring in Patagonia, so the weather was a little unpredictable, but not bad at all. The rivers were running cold and high, but clear and fishable. We mostly fished big streamers on sinking lines, except for the Pichi Leufu (a smaller river) where we fished lighter rods with floating lines. We caught nice browns and rainbows on all of the rivers.
We fished with a couple of great guides. PM me if you want more info on the region or want guide recommendations.
