Two Argentinas, One Journey
The Dry Fly Season
We're excited to offer a new experience to our clients for season 27/28 in Argentina. An opportunity to stand in the wide tropical jungle of the Upper Paraná, casting beneath a canopy of subtropical forest alive with birdsong one day, and then find yourself a world away in the vast untamed steppe of Patagonia fishing world-class trout waters the next.
Two landscapes that belong to entirely different worlds, each met at day's end by a lodge built for the same quiet standard of comfort: fine wine, proper hospitality, homemade food and a team that has already thought of what you'll need tomorrow. Two rivers, two disciplines, connected by nothing more than a passion.
February
This combo runs on a single fixed window each year. February is prime time for Pacú and Pirá Pytá on dry flies on the Paraná, with Golden Dorado still hunting hard in the early morning and evening feeding windows alongside them.
The Experience
Four species
Trout, Pirá Pytá, Pacú and Golden Dorado. Four fish, four completely different fights.
Two fly fishing styles
Sight-casting to dorado and dry flies to pacú in the Upper Paraná, then technical dry-fly fishing for wild trout on Patagonia's Collón Curá.
Two lodges, one standard
Fine wine, proper hospitality and homemade food at both ends of the journey.
Two landscapes, one trip
From the subtropical jungle of Corrientes to the open steppe of Neuquén. Same season, a world apart.

Four Species, One Trip
Trout
A fish of patience and precision. Patagonia's wild brown and rainbow trout demand intelligent presentation. With great hatches and plenty of fish rising for spectacular sight fishing, those willing to slow down and cast carefully land the spoils. This trip hits prime time for the "minnow hatch" on the Lower Collón Curá river, where large trout gorge on minnows migrating upstream.
Pirá Pytá
Fast, explosive, and unforgiving of a sloppy presentation. Pirá Pytá hits the fly hard and on the move, testing an angler's accuracy. A single well-placed cast matters more than a dozen rushed ones. The takes are sudden and visual, over almost as soon as they begin, which is exactly why they're unforgettable.
Pacú
A powerful, line-shy surface feeder that punishes hesitation. Pacú demands a drag-free drift and real nerve on the hook-set, taken on fruit-imitation dry patterns in calm, structured water. Pound for pound, few freshwater fish fight harder.
Golden Dorado
The river's apex predator, built purely for aggression. We target the early-morning and late-evening feeding windows, when dorado hunt hardest, sight-casting in gin-clear water with real shots at 20 lb class fish.
