Fishing Environments
From a strategic point of view, we are located minutes away from fishing areas recognized worldwide for the quality of their fish. We can visit the Limay River in three sections and three lakes.
Limay zone III
Zone III” of the Limay River, or ‘middle Limay’, is a 100% world-renowned river for the quality and fight of its trout. It is located 15 minutes from the lodge. We navigate through a section called “Zoo” with low pressure and many sectors to fish with different techniques.
Rainbow trout of 1-2 kg during the whole season: dry fly, nymph, streamer. From March until the end of the season we look for migratory brown trout, which can exceed 6 kg. They are fished with streamers. These big and powerful fish offer a unique and unforgettable experience.
