AMAZING EXPERIENCE - Amazing time!!!! My husband and I went fishing with German in October. Every detail was so well thought out. From picking us up from our hotel to boating us around, teaching us everything we needed to know, a fabulous sit down lunch, and just wonderful conversation. I won’t forget this experience. If you are thinking about doing it DO IT. You are in a beautiful place with wonderful company.

Full Day Fly Fishing Adventure in Patagonia - Beyond impressed with Outfitters Patagonia! Their fly-fishing trips in Bariloche are world-class.
The guides were incredibly patient and helpful, and we are beginners and caught several wild trout’s, more than thought possible. The scenery is simply stunning, and the overall experience was top-notch. If you´re looking for an authentic Patagonian fly fishing adventure, this is the company to book with.

Epic Fly Fishing Day Trip in Bariloche - Last April we had the most amazing fly fishing trip of my life with Outfitters Patagonia in
Bariloche. The guide were expert, and the equipment was top-notch. We caught many Brown
Trout including a trophy of 8lbs. The food was delicious, and had a blast exploring the stunning
Patagonian landscape. Highly recommend this company for an unforgettable adventure!

Amazing fishing and even better memories - I interviewed a number of people in planning this 5 day fishing trip for me and my two sons, ages 20 and 24. They are both experienced fly-fishermen. We ended up choosing to do 3 days on a camping and fishing trip on the Collon Cura river and then spent the final two days doing a trips on the Limay, staying at a hotel in Bariloche. This turned out to be a wonderful trip for us. For starters, the first three days saw us catch about 100 fish on the fly. See the pictures for a few of them. In addition to the breathtaking scenery, and the great weather, our guides were truly world class and the camp and support team were fantastic. Our guides Juan and German put us on fish all day long as they worked the river tirelessly. The end of each day had us pulling into a camp that was set up with drinks and appetizers that preceded a delicious grilled meal served with a bottle or two of a Malbec. We might have had a bottle at lunch also. There were no bad wines. Not sure I had a subpar bottle in my time in Argentina. Thank you for the camp set up, Renzo and Gusti! My boys said they felt like princes in a scene in the Game of Thrones.
But back to the fishing - definitely worth the trip. I have done a number of trips to Alaska and Canada and the Bahamas. This was as well run and productive as any of them. We spent the last two days chasing the trophies on the Limay, which is one of the prettiest rivers I have had the pleasure of fishing. We had some good follows by some big fish but didn’t connect. Thank you for the guiding there Juan and Sebastian. We were a little early in terms of the migration on March 19 and 20. I would look to land solidly in the last week of March or into April if you are targeting the trophy browns. But as you can see we did fine on the Cullen Cura. I would highly advise doing the camping if you are able.
I would be happy to connect with you by phone through Martin if you have specific questions about either trip or your stay in Bariloche, which is spectacular on its own. And a last shout out to Martin. Martin was always available and always followed through on everything he said he would do. He is fantastic and happy to talk to you about how you might structure your trip. Thank you for the great trip and memories Martin and team!

Great experience! - I did two separate trips with Outfitter’s Patagonia and both were excellent. We fished the Collon Cura for four days and really enjoyed the combined fishing and camping experience. We caught lots of fish ( rainbow, brown and even a few perch). Great guides and comfortable cots and tents for overnight. The food and wine were delicious.
I also booked a one day fishing trip on the Lemay and our guide brought rods for streaming and nymphing. I had 4 guides in total and all were so friendly and knowledgeable. No tangled line or missing fly was ever a problem. We had a variety of experience levels with fly fishing and the guides made it work for all of us, and were very pleasant and helpful the whole time.
Martin was incredibly helpful before the trip answering all our questions (of which there were many)). He was also very pleasant and helpful post trip. I am already planning our trip back and would highly recommend this outfitter!

Great fishing and tour - This was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Sebastian, was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient—and a wonderful cook. They have everything you need, just show up with appropriate clothing for the conditions and you are set. While I have fished my whole life, this was my first time on a fly setup and my wife’s first time freshwater fishing, or close to it, period. Seba had us both up and running in no time. I ended up landing three trout (one tiny rainbow and one rainbow and one brown maybe 2lbs each). Will never forget my first fish on the fly, fun fights and beautiful fish. My wife had several bites and loved the experience as well—Limay itself is a beautiful river and landscape worth seeing from the boat. Only downside is I might be addicted to fly fishing now.

Great Experience - Had a great time on the Limay River. We did the 3 Day / 2 Night camping trip and the only thing I can complain about is the fact the fish weren't moving as much as I would have liked. We still caught fish and our guide made sure we did! The team took great care of us and cant wait to do it again!

Best Experience Ever - This was our favorite activity/excursion we have ever done, and we’ve been a lot of places and done some pretty cool things. We have done several full day fly fishing trips in the western US including Alaska, but this experience cannot be beat.
Just book this experience. From start to finish, everything is excellent. Communication, guides, food, location, there is not a single thing less than perfection.
I’ve been talking to Martin for years since we had to postpone our South America trip three times due to COVID and country restrictions. It was certainly worth the wait. Martin was very friendly, accommodating, and understood why we needed to delay our trip. Communication was always very clear.
We did the 2 day trip with an overnight camp. Besides our guides, we didn’t see anyone for those 2 days! It was unreal. In the states, we always see other people fishing but not here. My husband and I caught dozens of fish over our two days.
The food and camp setup is worthy of its own post. The picnic lunch the first day set the stage for what was to come and it only got better. After fishing all day, we arrived at camp to see a whole chicken on the grill as well as appetizers, baked potatoes, and plenty of beverage options. All the food was amazing!!
Camp was spaced out, and our tent was quite cozy with raised cots and nice sleeping bags. Breakfast the next day blew us away as well, and we caught even more fish on day 2.
This review will never give the experience justice. Just book it. You won’t regret it.

4 day float and 4 days on land - marvelous team work with the guides.
they all love fishing and work together to make things easy for camping and fishing.
German met us at the airport and we immediately felt comfortable with the plans and had after a walk in town he picked us up for a memorable first dinner at El Bostiche del Alberto - great evening.
Sebastian and Renzo made it a seamless camping, cooking and wine experience. Lucas is a very knowledgeable fisherman with a good sense of humor:
As I told Juan - after a few days it was like fishing with a good friend. Except that this friend knows a lot more than most. Juan has in depth knowledge of the fish and fauna we encountered on the rivers.
