Argentina is one of the world’s premier fly fishing destinations, offering exceptional trout, sea trout, and golden dorado fishing across a vast and varied landscape. From the glacial rivers of Patagonia to the tropical waterways of the north, Argentina combines outstanding angling with dramatic scenery, wilderness, and remarkable diversity.
We highlight below the key features of Argentina’s superb sea trout, trout and dorado fly fishing.
Patagonia sea trout fishing
Argentina is internationally renowned for its sea trout fishing, with the rivers of Patagonia producing some of the largest sea-run brown trout found anywhere in the world. These cold, glacially fed rivers flow through wide valleys and untouched landscapes, creating ideal conditions for powerful migratory fish and world-class fly fishing opportunities.
For many anglers, Patagonia represents the pinnacle of sea trout fishing: clear water, aggressive fish, low fishing pressure, and immense open landscapes that make every encounter feel immersive and remote.
Trout fishing in Argentina
Beyond sea trout, Argentina offers superb wild trout fishing across spring creeks, mountain streams, freestone rivers, and expansive lakes. These waters support healthy populations of brown and rainbow trout and provide diverse fishing experiences suited to both technical dry-fly anglers and those seeking larger stillwater or streamer fisheries.
Combined with the dramatic scenery of the Andes and Patagonia, Argentina’s trout fishing ranks among the finest in South America.
Golden dorado fishing in northern Argentina
Northern Argentina offers a completely different fly fishing in the form of golden dorado fishing. In warm jungle rivers and remote wetlands, anglers target one of the most aggressive fresh water predators in the world.
Sight fishing for golden dorado combines explosive takes, powerful flights, and visually exciting fishing in wild tropical environments, adding another dimension to Argentina’s fly fishing offering.
