Fishing near Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego


Río Grande, on the Argentine side of Tierra del Fuego, sits at the center of what many consider the world's premier sea-run brown trout fishery. The Río Grande itself is a large, pool-rich river whose lower and middle stretches hold extraordinary runs of sea-run browns, with fish averaging well over 9 lbs and 20-lb-plus fish caught regularly throughout the season. Nearby tributaries such as the Río Menéndez add further water for those based at the estancias that line the river.
