Fishing near Comandante Fontana, Formosa

Comandante Fontana sits in the western Chaco region of Formosa province, flanked by the Río Bermejo and a network of riachos, arroyos, and lagunas that define fishing life here. The area is classic northeastern Argentine warmwater territory, where slow, tannin-stained channels and shallow oxbow lakes hold sábalo, pacú, mangrullo, and palometa. The Riacho Pilagá runs close to town, and the Río Bermejo anchors the broader fishery to the west.
