Fishing near Viedma, Río Negro

Viedma sits on the south bank of the Río Negro in the province of the same name, where the river's lower reaches flow toward the Atlantic coast. The Río Negro itself is the main draw for local anglers, supporting native and introduced species in a setting quite different from the celebrated Andean trout waters to the west. Coastal fishing spots within reach of the city add a saltwater dimension that few Patagonian towns can match.
