Fly Fishing in Esquel and National Park "Los Alerces" Area

The Nant y Falls River is born in the productive Rosario Lake and is a river of calm waters, offering opportunties with dry flies and nymphs.     The Carrileufu River is similar to a deep channel due to the clear color of the water. Surrounded by Lengas and Ñires Trees, this river holds many Landlocked Salmon, Rainbows, Browns, and Brooks between 30 and 60 cm.     The Arrayanes River, a short and slow river, lacks runs and it is differentiated by the turquoise color of its waters. It is surrounded by a forest of Arrayanes to compliment the good fishing.    The Frey River is a beautiful and great river to sight-fish.  Rainbows, Browns and Brooks all prevail in sizes that oscillate between 35 and 55cm.
