In the heart of Argentina’s Patagonian fishing country, El Encuentro Lodge enjoys some of the world’s finest trout fishing. Although the autumn season has just finished, thoughts have already turned to the spring season which begins in November.
This time of year offers not only world-class trout fishing, but also a variety of outdoor adventures that everyone in the family can enjoy. From hiking and horseback riding to nature outings and peaceful moments by the river, spring is a wonderful time to experience Patagonia in its most vibrant form.
Spring fishing at El Encuentro Lodge
The snow-capped Andes feed the pristine rivers, creating ideal conditions for fly fishing. Spring runoff swells the rivers, yet the waters remain clear, providing excellent opportunities to catch large, aggressive trout. While streamer fishing is prevalent, dry fly enthusiasts can delight in March brown hatches. Additionally, dragonfly hatches on nearby lakes offer exhilarating surface action.
Beyond the Rod – Patagonia adventures for everyone
Guests at El Encuentro Lodge will find a variety of non-fishing activities to ensure that everyone—anglers and non-anglers —enjoy a memorable stay. Spring is an ideal time to explore Patagonia’s natural beauty and local culture.
There’s hiking on scenic trails, horseback riding through stunning valleys, kayaking on peaceful lakes, or visits to nearby vineyards to taste regional wines. For those interested in cultural experiences, it’s possible to arrange a guided visit to Esquel to discover the town’s local charm, museums, and artisan markets.
Further afield, there’s the chance to take a full-day excursion to Chile which provides a unique glimpse into the rich heritage and dramatic landscapes just across the border.
