If you are considering a fishing holiday we encourage to set up a fly fishing trip in the Magic Patagonia. Weather in Patagonia is very changeable so, we suggest to bring clothes for hot days and for cold and rainy weather even in full summer.

Rod sizes # 4 – 5 – 6, Floating lines for fish dries and nymphs most of the time and sinking lines for big water 150 – 200 grs. Leaders 7 ½ 2X, and 9 ½ 3X , tippet material from 1X to 5X More items such as sun block, polarized glasses and wading stick.

Argentina is free of whirling disease we strongly suggest the use of new fishing gear in our freshwaters.

Fly Rods: Anglers will need to bring two fly rods to effectively fish this waters of western Chubut in Patagonia a light dry fly rod in 4 or 5 weight and a heavier in 6 or 7 weight for streamers in big waters or windy days. We strongly recommend a multi-
piece travel rod.

Fly Reels: Good quality, lightweight fly reels, with simple disk drags, are the best choice. Reels should be filled with fresh 20 pound backing and 80 – 120 yards of backing is more than adequate. Extra spools are an advantage.

Fly lines: For the light dry fly rod you will need a weight forward floating fly line. Color of the line is not important. For the six or seven weight you will want two lines: a weight forward floating lines for terrestrials and windy days and a streamer line, specifically a 200 grain 24’ sink-tip such as Teeny Nymph Line is a great choice.

Leaders & Tippet: Bring tapered leaders 9 ft. (3X) and 7 ½ ft. 2X and 1X. For tippet, bring fresh spools of 1X through 6X. Fluorocarbon is a great one for leader material.

Rain Jacket & Waders: Your rain jacket and wader should be 100% waterproof and breathable, specifically designed for fly fishermen. High quality Gore Tex products are the best. For safety we recommend to use all the time a wading belt while on the water.

Wading Boots: Felt soled wading boots are enough, cleats or studs are not needed and are no good on rafts.

Boat bag: a white water dry bag can be extremely handy for storing extra clothes, tackle, camera equipment while on the raft.
