Enjoy the best fly fishing destinations in San Carlos de Bariloche, with personalized plans for you. Each trip we create is custom-tailored to each angler.
Our trip begins in San Carlos de Bariloche, a city that was designed to remind us of the beautiful alpine cities. With a size 5 times larger than Switzerland and surrounded by the high mountains of the Andes, this city became the jewel of fishermen for being located next to Lake Nahuel Huapi. This great glacial lake of 562 km2 is considered one of the deepest in the world, since it has a maximum depth of 464 meters. Species of trout and salmon that reach large sizes reproduce placidly in this region because they do not have natural predators.
Among the fishing rivers accessible from San Carlos de Bariloche we have the Limay River, the Traful River, the Pichi Leufu River and the Manso River. This lat one it is ideal for dry fly fishing and sight fishing. A dry fly tries to imitate the silhouette of an insect seen from below, which is the angle fish have when viewing an insect from the depths. Trout take food that they see on the surface, so we mimicked the movements of those insects on the surface. Ideally, you should start fishing with the correct pattern, but it is also important to know when it is time to change and start fishing with another fly.
1. Get a good floating line: The tappered lines are ideal for dry fishing because they offer good casting characteristics and presentation of flies on crystalline waters. They are ideal for dry fly fishing and are especially good for roll casting.
2. Presentation and fly: Remember tha you are imitating the movement of an insect remember that you are imitating the movements of an insect on the surface of the water, so the most important thing is to choose a suitable fly and make a good presentation in free drift on the current.
3. A Wade in silence: Movement is essential when fishing in wading, do it stealthily and quietly.
4. Dry and floating fly: Keep your dry pattern dry and always afloat. For this you can use some oil or buoyancy gel, supported with silicone powder to keep your pattern dry.
5. Sight Fishing : This is one of the most exciting times when it comes to dry fly fishing. The Manso River is particularly suitable for this type of fishing because it is a medium to small river where trout are usually in plain sight looking for food during the months of December and January, mainly.
6. PMX Dry Fly: This fly is a classic pattern improved with an appearance that adapts to the new times. It is a very successful fly for the waters of Patagonia.
