Fishing near Esquel, Chubut

Esquel sits in the Andean foothills of Chubut province, at the gateway to Los Alerces National Park and some of central Patagonia's least-pressured trout water. The area is anchored by the Río Grande (also known as Futaleufú) and its tributaries, alongside glacier-fed lakes like Lago Futalaufquen, Lago Rivadavia, and Lago Menéndez. Spring creeks such as the Arroyo Pescado and the Gualjaina draw dry-fly anglers for their exceptional numbers of fish. The region consistently ranks among Argentina's top fly-fishing destinations.
