Lago Los Barreales is a reservoir nestled in the province of Neuquén, Argentine Patagonia, situated near the town of Añelo. This striking body of water is surrounded by the dramatic landscapes characteristic of Patagonia — sweeping valleys, open terrain, and the rugged beauty that defines this corner of South America. The reservoir draws outdoor enthusiasts from across Argentina and beyond, offering a combination of fishing, kayaking, and hiking in a setting defined by crystal-clear waters and expansive scenic vistas. The cold, dry climate of Neuquén shapes the character of the fishery throughout the year, making it a destination that rewards anglers who come prepared for Patagonian conditions.

The reservoir's varied shoreline and open water offer a range of productive fishing areas. Points, coves, and areas where tributary inflows enter the reservoir tend to concentrate fish, particularly trout seeking cooler, oxygenated water. Deeper sections of the reservoir are worth exploring for brown trout that hold near the bottom structure, while shallower margins and flats can be productive for rainbow trout and silverside during feeding periods.
