Laguna Verde, often referred to as Jurassic Lake, is a premier fly fishing destination located on the vast, windswept steppe of Argentine Patagonia. The fishery centers on Lago Strobel, a massive, remote lake renowned for producing what are considered some of the largest rainbow trout in the world. The operation is managed through Estancia Laguna Verde, a private lodge that provides exclusive access to a significant portion of the lake's shoreline as well as several miles of productive river water. This combination of lake and river fishing offers anglers a unique opportunity to target trophy-sized rainbows in open water and pursue a mix of species in moving water, all within a starkly beautiful and isolated landscape.
