Welcome to our team's angling exploits
November at Kooi Noom, meaning “the fish path” in the native Tehuelche language. Thousands of huge rainbows begin their run from the lakes and lagoons into the rivers and streams that flow across the wild Andean foothills. After several years of scouting, planning, and cultivating strategic partnerships, our first guests are finally able to experience the birth of a destination that …
October is one of the best months to fish the upper Parana. It marks the onset of the dorado spawning season, and the big fish in the river become particularly active and gravitate towards the surface (where they lay their eggs). Head guide Pinti from Amokagny Lodge sent over these pictures from fishing last week as a sampler of what’s …
While the golden dorado has long been admired in Argentina, until recently it was almost completely unknown to the outside world. Only within the last decade or so have dorado become recognized as one of the world’s most exciting and prized freshwater game fish. A unique species that defies categorization, the dorado is rather like a supernatural hybrid between a …
People often ask me when the best time and place to fish Patagonia or Argentina is. It’s a largely impossible questions, as there is no absolute “best” time or place to go, and where you decide to concentrate your efforts will depend largely on personal preferences.

Our friend Rodrigo “El Pela” from Big Fish Patagonia sent us some images of his receant trip south to Santa Cruz River for Atlantic Steelhead. Regarding to him the conditions of the river where great, the color of the water a bit cloudy but well enough for the fish to see the fly and many fresh fish from receant runs. …
We have spent the last couple of months guiding for our favorite fish, but this time over the Rio Grande at Despedida Lodge. General conditions have been good and the runs of fish very consistent. As we know Sea trout can be very moody, it doesn´t really matter how many fish there are in the pools, sometimes there can be 40 different …
Peter Ellis, owner of the venerable hard cider brands, Crispins and Foxbarrel, landed this gargantuan 14 kg dorado two days ago out of Amokagny Lodge on the Parana river in northern Argentina. As an added bonus, Peter has also been catching Pacu and Pira Pita, and perhaps most importantly, avoiding the dreary winter climate in England right now. I for one …
The Rio Grande is undoubtedly the best sea trout river on earth, though like any river, it will have its ups and downs over the course of the fishing season.
