Since 1999, Fly Fishing Patagonia has been a premiere Argentina outfitter specializing in the finest fly fishing and hunting in Argentina. In northern Patagonia, our anglers experience highly customized adventures fishing the best trout rivers at the right time, all while indulging in premium lodges or wilderness float trips. Our lodge in Corrientes offers world class Golden Dorado fishing and bird hunting. Couple these two destinations with our deep involvement and passion for Sea Run Brown Trout and we cover only the best in Argentina.
Since day one, we have achieved our goal of having all guests claim their fishing or hunting trip was the greatest they’ve ever done. Our success lies in select lodges in prime locations, a professional guide staff that is second to none and being an American-Argentine owned and operated Argentina outfitting company.
The American component of FFP means every guest will customize their trip personally with the, the US based owner, Justi Campa, who understands their expectations, sensitivities and goals. Upon arrival, they are under the wing of the Argentine owner, Oscar Dono, who guarantees a flawless execution, exceeded expectations and an authentic experience. With both owners deeply involved and invested in each trip’s success, our guests get a level of assurance and service they can’t find anywhere else. Read more about Justi and Oscar in our FFP Guides section.
All of us at Fly Fishing Patagonia love what we do. And while this profession won’t make us wealthy nor give us more time fishing, it is a lifestyle with limitless rewards coming from each new friendship, each letter of thanks. It is the personal connections we have with our guests and sharing with them the magic and excitement of Argentina that reaffirms our commitment and dedication to our company, staff and every guest.

Right River. Right Time. Right Trip
With fishing conditions changing throughout the season, it is critical to know where to go and when. With our network of lodges, multiple rivers and expertise, you will always be fishing a river during its prime time and your program will include a lodge and/or river that matches your preference. And in the event that your river gets blown out or stops fishing well, we will immediately take you to more productive waters.

From small to large rivers and from high-end lodging to multi-day float trips, we carefully personalize each trip to meet individual desires and budget.

Oscar has worked in Italy, Mexico, and fished in British Columbia, Cuba, Colorado, New York, Florida, Chile, Bolivia and Venezuela. His ability to catch fish is uncanny and his guiding skills are simply unbeatable. His lightheartedness can brighten the gloomiest fishing day with a laid back smile and a “No problem” attitude.
Nicolas Repossini (Nico)
We first met Nico in the early days of Fly Fishing Patagonia when we used to take our guests to the Hess Lodge (now called Rio Manso Lodge.) At that time he was a teenager with no English but was still the head guide for the lodge because of his warm personality and knowledge of fishing and the waters. Nico has a degree in Aqua Culture and is a phenomenal addition to our team. He is also one of the nicest guys you’ll meet in Argentina.
Martín Ferreyra
Martin’s guiding career started at Estancia Alicura where he guided the lower stretches of the Caleufu, Collon Cura, and Limay Rivers. Fortunately, Martin began guiding for us in Nov 2011 and since then we have heard nothing but our anglers singing his praises. “Great guy, awesome guide” is what we frequently hear. Martin is an avid fly tier and talented photographer. Martin is the brother of our office manager, Maluly Ferreyra.
