Fishing in Rio Grande is primarily done with fly fishing for sea trout. Depending on the season and water levels, both single-handed rods, switch rods, and double-handed rods are used. During low water and calm conditions, fishing is often done with dry flies or riffling hitches, while higher water requires sinking tips, streamers, and nymphs.

The fishing is well-organized with rotation between the pools, which allows the water to always rest. You will fish with experienced local guides who adapt their methods, fly choices, and equipment to the day's conditions to give you the best possible chance at Rio Grande's large sea trout.

Rio Grande is located in Tierra del Fuego in southern Patagonia and has a cool, windy, and changeable climate. During the fishing season from November to April, temperatures typically range between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius, with cooler mornings and evenings.
