Río Las Morcillas offers a classic Andean fishing experience in the high-altitude landscapes of Catamarca, Argentina. This freestone river originates in the mountainous headwaters and flows through a mix of terrain, providing varied angling opportunities. The water is typically clear, with a substrate composed of cobble, gravel, and boulders, creating excellent pocket water, riffles, and deep runs ideal for trout. The riparian zone features native vegetation, and the river's character changes as it descends, from steeper, faster sections in the upper reaches to more moderate flows downstream.

Productive spots are found throughout the river. The deep pools at the tailouts of riffles are consistently good, as are the undercut banks along outside bends. The confluence areas where smaller tributaries enter the main river often create nutrient-rich seams and deeper holes that hold fish. The pocket water among the large boulders in the upper and middle sections provides excellent targets for precise casts.
