The Patagonian fishing season opens in November and closes in May. There is no bad weather to be in one of the greatest undiscovered places on Earth. Each part of the season offers something special and distinct from the others. During November and December (spring), with high water levels in rivers, you’ll find many big rainbows and browns still on the move back to lakes, so chances to catch real trophy fish are good. Mornings and evenings will be quite cool, as to wear a jacket over a thick fleece sweatshirt; and occasional rains may occur. Temperatures range between 40 F and 80 F. In summer (Jan-Feb) lows range between 60 F and 75 F and highs 75-95 F. The weather is very moderate, and rains are extremely rare. These long days on easy wadeable rivers are dry fly time, and caddis and mayflies hatches put trout on the move almost everywhere. March and April (fall), the end of the season, is the most quiet and scenery time of the year, as reds greens and yellows blend on the mountains and riverbanks. Low water levels and easy wading invite you to use the lightest possible tackle on rainbows and browns running up the rivers from the lakes to spawn. In this time you can usually fish even the most popular rivers without risking the chance of seeing any other angler for days. As temperatures may drop without notice, bringing heavy jackets will help you enjoy your fishing time. Highs are 60-70 F and lows can average 45 F to 55 F during some seasons. From civilization, reachable only in 4x4 vehicles, rafts or extended walks; where rarely fished waters packed with wild trout and a lifetime of memories are waiting for your arrival. |
