Fishing near Lago Puelo, Chubut

Lago Puelo sits in the northwest of Chubut province, at the edge of Lago Puelo National Park in the Andean foothills of Patagonia. The lake itself — only about 170 metres above sea level — is the centrepiece of the local fishing scene, known primarily for rainbow trout pursued by trolling, fly fishing, and casting. The surrounding rivers and lakes, including the Río Azul, Río Epuyen, Río Quenquemtreu, and Lago Epuyén, extend the options across the region.
