GENERAL
INFORMATION:
Estancia La Rinconda will provide quite a wild challenge

The estancia provide different fly fishing programs
means in order to meet the demands of each fisherman,
all at arms lenght. If your goal is to enjoy the trout
fishing and Patagonian fauna and to be in contact with
the wilderness, this is definitely the best alternative.
Strategically located close to Junin de los Andes and
to the rivers Chimehuin, Malleo, Quilquihue, Caleufu,
Aluminé, Collon Cura and Limay and the amazing lakes
Huechulafquen, Tromen, Paimún, among others. These
well-known rivers and lakes are home to a great number
of Rainbow, Brown and Fontinalis Trout and Land Locked
Salmon, weighing up to 8 pounds. The waters are
crystal clear and offer dozens of miles for wading or
floating without other anglers around. The fishing program
can be tailor-made to fit the needs and wishes of each
angler. Our head guide, with his long career and vast
experience as fishing guide, is able to combine the
rivers and the lakes so that you can wade and/or float
them in search of the best results.

Fly Fishing tackle and
Equipment:
Wading
All of our fishing is in rivers and streams, wading
from the coast and sometimes on floating trips and float-tubing.
One pair of fly weight chest waders and one pair of
neoprene chest waders is recommended. The new waders
"non-condensation" is the best for walking. The comfort
of your wading shoes is very important also.
Rods
Bring 2-3 rods. A good combination is:
-- 8-91/2; 4/5 weight for dry flies and nymphs.
-- 9-91/2; 6/7 weight for Boca or streamer fishing.
-- 8-9; 3-4 weight for spring creeks and small flies.
Lines
We suggest:
--Floating lines for each rod.
--Sink tip lines 5-8. (like Scientific Angler Ultra
2 wet tip IV 10 or Tenny Nymph Tip)
--Shooting head sink tip line 7-8 weight (Teeny T200
or T300 or shooting line sink V).
--Optional: Intermediate sinking line. Baking 75 - 100
yards is sufficient.
Leaders
From 4 to 12 feet long. Tippet material is extremely
important in Argentina. The trout are very strong and
powerful. Your tippet material should be sheer resistant
as well as have the maximum breaking strength in small
daymeters.
Flies
Bring plenty of flies. You can lose 6-10 flies a day
on snags, in trees, by breaking off fish or on stones.
