WHEN TO GO
The fly fishing season in Patagonia
Patagonia fishes best from November through April, depending on the river. The lakes and spring creeks around Bariloche and San Martín de los Andes fish through the whole season, while the migratory brown trout runs on the Limay concentrate fish from January through March, when the big fish move up from the lakes.
