Lago Correntoso sits in the heart of Patagonia's lake district near Villa La Angostura, Neuquén Province, Argentina, and is renowned throughout the country as one of its most celebrated trout fisheries. The lake feeds the Río Correntoso, one of the shortest rivers in the world at only 200 to 300 meters in length depending on water levels, which drains directly into the iconic Lago Nahuel Huapi. This short but powerful connection makes the entire Correntoso system — lake, river, and mouth — a legendary destination for anglers seeking large trout in a stunning Andean setting. The mouth of the Río Correntoso where it meets Lago Nahuel Huapi is among the most recognized fishing spots in all of Argentina.
