Río Chico in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, is one of several productive streams flowing through the northeastern side of the island, offering fly anglers the chance to pursue wild trout in a remote and rugged Patagonian setting. The river runs through open steppe and valley terrain characteristic of this part of Tierra del Fuego, and it has been fished alongside neighboring rivers such as the Río Ewan Norte, Río Fuego, Río Ewan Sur, Río San Pablo, and Río Lainez — all of which share the same general northeastern drainage system of the island. The Río Chico is a relatively intimate stream that rewards careful wading and precise presentations, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Fuegian landscape.
