Fishing near Zapala, Neuquén

Zapala sits in the arid volcanic steppe of central Neuquén, serving as a gateway to some of Patagonia's less-trafficked trout waters. The area around the city is laced with small creeks and rivers — including the Río Agrio and Arroyo Covunco — where fly anglers seek out trout in clear, fast-moving water. Laguna Blanca, a high-plateau lake nearby, adds still-water fishing to the mix.
