Brazo Norte is a prominent viewpoint and area within the stunning Nahuel Huapi Lake system near Villa La Angostura in Neuquén, Argentina. It overlooks the confluence of the lake's northern arm and the distinct Bahía Brava and Bahía Mansa. This region is characterized by deep, clear Patagonian lake waters surrounded by the Andes mountains, with the unique Arrayanes forest nearby. The fishing here is focused on the expansive, often windy waters of Nahuel Huapi Lake, one of Argentina's premier destinations for both native and introduced sportfish.
