The Río Salado is a significant tributary of the Río Negro, flowing through the arid landscapes of the province's central valley. This river is characterized by its clear, cold waters and is primarily a freestone stream, with sections featuring gravel and cobble substrates that create excellent trout habitat. The river's flow is influenced by seasonal snowmelt from the Andes, contributing to its dynamic nature and creating a mix of productive riffles, runs, and deep pools.

Productive fishing is found throughout the river. Key areas to focus on include the deep pools at the tailouts of riffles, undercut banks along slower-moving sections, and the seams where fast and slow water meet. The confluence areas with smaller feeder streams often hold concentrations of fish. The larger, deeper pools in the middle and lower sections are prime locations for targeting trophy-sized Brown Trout with streamers.
