Fishing near Trevelin, Chubut

Trevelin sits in the Chubut province of central Patagonia, about 10 miles south of Esquel, and serves as a base for some of the most varied freshwater fly fishing in Argentina. The area around the town gives access to more than two dozen rivers, spring creeks, and lakes — including waters inside Los Alerces National Park — ranging from Andean rainforest streams to open steppe rivers. Wade fishing is particularly strong on the eastern side of Trevelin, while float fishing opens up larger rivers and lakes further into the park.
