Half Day Fly Fishing Or Spinning In The Limay River

Duración: 5 Horas

Reserve a private half-day fishing adventure, whether you're into Fly fishing or Spinning, guided by our expert and top-notch local guides who will lead you on a floating expedition along the Limay River. This journey accommodates two anglers aboard Cata-Rafts, boats specifically crafted for navigating the swift mountain rivers, ideal for fishing in areas inaccessible to motorboats. We will drift approximately 12 km (7 miles) on the Limay River during this half-day tour, casting lines from the boat and frequently pausing to wade and fish from the riverbanks at prime locations.

Upon concluding the trip, our assistant will meet us downstream with trucks and trailers to transport everyone back to their accommodations.

We supply all necessary fishing tackle and equipment (including rods, reels, lines, flies, waders, shoes, etc.).

IMPORTANT: When booking, please specify your preferred type of fishing and/or desired location.

Descripción del Tour:

Your guide will collect you from your hotel in Bariloche, setting off towards the Limay River. As the most significant river within the National Park, its vast waters emerge from the eastern edge of the immense Nahuel Huapi, approximately 17 km (11 miles) from the city. The river meanders through arid, rocky mesas adorned with pine forests, presenting breathtaking landscapes and delightful weather. It is largely inhabited by rainbow and brown trout, alongside some Patagonian perch, making it a paradise for anglers. From November through March, the opportunities for dry fly fishing are abundant, and in April, the final month of the season, large trout make their way from the lake to the river. The river offers five distinct sections, each stretching about 10 miles. The crystal-clear waters, stunning views, and excellent fishing conditions make this floating trip an unforgettable experience.

Upon arriving at the Limay River boarding point, your guide will detail the fishing techniques available for the excursion:

Fly-fishing: This involves using a special weighted line and “dressed” hooks that mimic insects, minnows, and shrimp, cast with various techniques. Although it requires practice and patience to master a good cast, fly-fishing has long been a global favorite, attracting numerous seasoned anglers to Patagonia annually, as well as newcomers eager to refine their skills in these untouched fishing locales.
Spinning: This method involves casting artificial lures, such as spoons or spinners, using suitable rods and reels, whether from the shore or boats. We recommend ultra-light gear and lures with single, barbless hooks when possible.

Next, you embark on your floating journey, navigating the Limay River and fishing at the best spots it has to offer.

With your guide's company, you will also delve into the history of the Bariloche region, explore top fishing options, and learn about the local wildlife.

After a fulfilling morning or afternoon of drifting and fishing, you will reach the shore, where our staff will be ready to transport you back to your hotel.

Fishing Season

The fishing season starts on November 1st and concludes on May 1st each year throughout the National Park. However, for off-season fishing, lakes Nahuel Huapi, Gutiérrez, and Mascardi remain open during May and October, while Moreno Lake is accessible year-round for all fishing methods.
