Trout Fishing
Trout fishing in Patagonia, Argentina and Chile, runs from November 15 through
April 15. During these summer months, the weather is very moderate, the days
are long, and the fish are plentiful … brown, rainbow, and brook trout are abundant
throughout this time of year.
Brown Trout
The fish easily adapted to the cold lakes and rivers that were filled by the
glaciers and snow filled Andes Mountains. The large availability of insects
in and out of the water and as well as small native fish contributed to the
successful adaptation into the lakes and rivers. This colorful and feisty fish
can provide exciting fishing. It can be a strong, ferocious fighter and a challenge
to any experience fly fishing enthusiasts.
Rainbow trout
is from the Salmonidae family and has a reputation as a hard fighting and challenging
game fish. Since the introduction of this fish to the Patagonia region of Chile
and Argentina in the early 1900's, the rainbow as well as the brown trout flourished
in the lakes, streams and rivers. With the snow covered Andes Mountains creating
plenty of fresh water for the fish and the plentiful food supply in the rivers
and lakes, the rainbow has grown and become one of the fishing favorites of
the region.
