When to Fly Fish in Bariloche?

"What is the best month for fly fishing in Bariloche Patagonia?"

The best time for fly fishing in Bariloche, Argentina, is from November to May. While the season spans seven months, the "best" time depends on your preferred fishing style:

• November & December (Spring): Ideal for those seeking high water levels and aggressive Rainbow and Brown trout. Use sinking lines and large streamers.
• January & February (Summer): This is prime time for dry fly fishing. Terrestrial activity (like grasshoppers) is at its peak. Expect warm, clear days perfect for wading in shorts.
• March, April & May (Fall): The best window for trophy hunting. As temperatures drop, massive migratory Brown trout enter the rivers from the lakes to spawn.

Our guided trips cover the legendary Limay, Manso, Collon Cura and Caleufu rivers. Whether you are looking for the technical challenge of a dragonfly hatch on Lake Fonck or a relaxing float trip down the Limay, the Bariloche region offers diverse ecosystems for every skill level.

Pro Tip: If you want a "trophy of a lifetime," book your trip for late April to target the migratory runs.
