• Arroyo Pescado Spring Creek

Dive into the allure of Arroyo Pescado, a true gem among spring creeks that stands as one of the world's best! Tucked just thirty minutes east of Esquel (a mere 45 minutes from the lodge), this Patagonian marvel meanders through the steppe, weaving its magic for five miles before converging with the Rio Gualjaina, ultimately joining the Chubut. The Arroyo unfolds its fishing tapestry from January 1st through May 1st, a privilege tightly regulated by the private estancia. Be prepared for a spectacle – daily hatches and rising fish dictated by whimsical conditions. Arroyo Pescado is a haven for all, especially the avid bird lover, showcasing a vibrant array of species: pink Chilean Flamingos, Magellan and Ashy Head Geese, assorted ducks, black-necked swans, ibis, parrots, greater rheas, and the majestic condors. The water, crystal clear and shallow in most parts, challenges anglers with the selectivity typical of spring creeks. Immerse yourself in the art of sight fishing, a technique that unveils the true essence of this waterway. Brace for the thrill of landing 16-22+ inch fish, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Patagonian steppe – a sensory journey awaiting your exploration.
