The Río Seco is a premier fly fishing destination in the province of Salta, Argentina, flowing through the dramatic landscapes of the Andean foothills. This freestone river offers a classic Patagonian-style fishing experience with clear, cold waters and a healthy population of wild trout. The river is intimately connected to the historic Estancia San Fernando, a private lodge that provides exclusive access to some of its most productive stretches, making it a sought-after location for anglers seeking a remote and high-quality experience.
