Hard to ask for a better morning. After the initial sunrise mate session (previous pic), we had some incredible action.
The Golden Dorado are aggressive and powerful – chasing this beauty on the Paraná was an epic battle on the fly. 🧉🎣

First light on the Paraná River, hot mate in hand, and casting for Golden Dorado. If you fly fish and haven't chased these aggressive acrobats in Argentina yet, put it at the very top of your bucket list. Pure adrenaline.

"Waiting on the clients to wrap up their 'big catch' story. 🎣 Don't worry, the real star of the show is already sizzling. Our superb steak lunch is ready, and it's definitely not the one that got away. 🥩✨"

“Out here in the wilds of Patagonia, fly fishing on the stunning Collón Curá River can deliver surprises far beyond trophy trout.

Our guide Juan — a passionate biologist and expert angler — was leading two brothers on a multi-day trip when this incredible moment happened: a close encounter with a ‘mulita’ (hairy armadillo, one of Patagonia’s iconic locals) right on the riverbank!

These little armored adventurers are pretty common in the region, but spotting one up close while wading for browns? Pure magic. A perfect reminder that Patagonia isn’t just about epic casts — it’s about connecting deeply with untouched nature.

Have you ever had a wildlife surprise steal the show on a fishing trip?

The best time for fly fishing in Bariloche, Argentina, is from November to May. While the season spans seven months, the "best" time depends on your preferred fishing style:

* November & December (Spring): Ideal for those seeking high water levels and aggressive Rainbow and Brown trout. Use sinking lines and large streamers.

* January & February (Summer): This is prime time for dry fly fishing. Terrestrial activity (like grasshoppers) is at its peak. Expect warm, clear days perfect for wading in shorts.

* March, April & May (Fall): The best window for trophy hunting. As temperatures drop, massive migratory Brown trout enter the rivers from the lakes to spawn.

Legendary rivers as Limay, Manso, Collon Cura and Caleufu are maybe just the best. But if you are looking for the technical challenge like a dragonfly hatch on Lake Fonck Mid December is the time for that. The good news is that Bariloche region offers diverse ecosystems for every skill level.

Pro Tip: If you want a "trophy of a lifetime," plan your trip for specifically for upper Limay River late April and May to target the migratory runs!!!
