Nestled in the heart of this prolific trout fishing area, the 23,000-acre private estancia is conveniently located a short distance from the regional airport at San Martin de Los Andes. This working ranch boasts over 10 miles of the Aluminé River’s west bank, with access to ten miles of the most productive stretches of the river, as well as numerous other exceptional fisheries that are easily accessible.
FLY FISHING
The Aluminé River is renowned for its impressive dry fly fishing and prolific hatches, in addition to the opportunities for nymphs and streamer fishing, which can yield substantial rainbow and brown trout. The river’s banks are adorned with willows, creating an ideal environment for both aquatic and terrestrial insects. Its exquisite beauty is further enhanced by panoramic vistas, set against vivid canyon walls.
Fly fishermen can choose from a range of daily options, including drifting in rafts or drift boats, or wading in the numerous riffles, pools, and runs of this exceptional river.
