Jurassic Lake Lodge, Nov-Dec is Prime Time Few anglers can boost about catching multiple 8-15 pound trout in a small stream in a single afternoon. Those who can probably fished Jurassic Lake Lodge between mid Oct and early Jan. During this magical time, the Barrancoso River has healthy flows with massive trout that crowd each pool and complete for skating dry flies.  Experiencing this phenomenon is totally unique in the world of trout fishing and therefore requires booking no less than a year in advance.   Contact us today to book your spot! As the most prolific trophy Rainbow Trout fishery on the planet, Jurassic Lake is nothing short of a biological anomaly. The lake itself is a large desert sink lake measuring approximately 20 by 15 km and is teaming with small scuds that support Rainbow Trout that average over 10bs. In spring, anglers can catch 50 plus fish per day, with many in the mid-teens and perhaps few in the 20+lb class. These fish are extremely stout, acrobatic and incredibly strong. The level of productivity of these waters is hard to comprehend. Jurassic Lake Lodge is located at the mouth of the Barrancoso River, the lakes only inlet. […]

“It is my firm opinion that the average free range Red Stag in Argentina is superior to the free range stags available in New Zealand.” – Craig Boddington, Sports Afield Magazine Since 2007 we’ve been booking bow and rifle hunters at Estancia Quemquemtreu, a one of a kind 270 sq mile ranch in northern Patagonia.  Few Argentine ranches are of this size and fewer can match the quantity and quality of these free range Red Stags. The population of 6000 deer have been managed for almost 30 years and success rates for SCI trophies are 100%. Argentina Red Stag hunting ranches that boast bigger trophies keep their Stags fenced in and fed with supplements.  The fair chase hunting at Quemquemtreu is the antithesis of this.  The cannons plus thick 6ft grass mounds and old willow trees along riparian corridors make this ranch a bow hunting paradise for not only Trophy Red Stag but wild boar as well. Hunter and guide will cover a fair amount of ground, traveling in trucks, horseback (optional) and on foot. In such a target rich environment, hunters will pass up many stags, relying on the guide who makes the final decision as to which animals can […]

3 Rivers in Northern Patagonia (Dry Flies!) Patagonia’s Big Brown Trout Rivers, the Chimehuín, Collon Cura and Lower Limay.  December through February is a good time to put away the streamer box and pull out those ugly foam, rubber leg bugs.  From a nice hotel in San Martin, we’ll fish the Chimehuín for a day, then spend 2 nights/2.5 days “glamping” on the Collon Cura River. The trip ends by targeting the 5-10lb migrating Brown Trout on the Lower Limay.  On the Limay, we’ll spend 3 nights at a brand new river lodge and fish 2 days on northern Patagonia’s #1 trophy trout river.  Big Browns on dry flies is the name of the game on this river, at least for us. The lower Limay River is a large, clear tailwater draining the Pierda del Aguila Reservoir and runs all the way to the Atlantic.  It has long been the local anglers’ “big fish river.”  Fish are found in almost every fishable piece of water, lying against the banks, in riffles, eddies, backwaters and defiantly in the runs. This is the perfect program for anglers who want to fish hard, target bigger fish and see different waters.  If you can […]
