Patagonia River Guides

These Montana transplants have made quite a name for themselves in Patagonia. They’ve applied Yankee flyfishing know-how to some of the smaller, off-the-beaten-path rivers and streams of the distant Esquel region of Argentina. Their equipment and work ethics are second to none, and these guys are hungry to build a reputation that is as large as their talent. Patagonia River Guides has a dawn-to-dark work attitude and you’d better pack plenty of stamina along with your fly fishing gear.

Trips can be built for as few as three, and as many as 14 days of hard-core fishing. Patagonia River Guides have a spectacular choice of rivers and streams. They specialize in guiding on small, out-of-the-way fisheries and have exclusive access to a number of creeks. There’s more than enough on their angling menu to keep you busy for the entire Patagonia summer.

Raul San Martin’s ghias de pescas

Considered to be among the best guides in Argentina, Raul’s guests stay at their choice of picturesque lakeside chateaus in the center of Los Alerces National Park or one of several hostelrias within easy reach of the best local streams. Raul, himself, is the dean of Argentina’s fly fishing guides. His packages can be custom-tailored for any number of days with a schedule built around a variety of angling interests that include the remote Chubut pampa spring creeks of the Esquel region.

Raul has a passion for fly fishing and it shows. He’s been guiding for four decades, and knows every one of the nearly thirty nearby rivers and streams like, as the Argentines say, “a ring on his finger.” His is a pure Argentine guide service and probably the most famous group of fly fishing guides south of the Equator.

The variety of the fishing in the Esquel area surrounding Raul is phenomenal, as are the regional and National Park accommodations that Ghias de Pescas employes.
