The best spring creeks of south Patagonia
Estancia Rio Pelke counts with private access to the best 5 trout rivers in Santa Cruz province, located only an hour and a half drive from the cities of El Calafate and Rio Gallegos.
Fly fishing for trout in these small rivers demand a unique approach and different techniques for brown and brook trout.
These rivers have been outside of the fishermen radar, the reasons why theykeep such good numbers and sizes. The ideal place for both experienced fly fishermen as well as those willing to learn from highly qualified instructors.

King Salmon arrived to Southern Patagonia in the early 2000s.
In this lonely place of the Andes they have developed a numerous population that
grows every year due to the really low fishing pressure and not having many predators
above them.
Every year Chinook salmon move upriver from the Atlantic Ocean, thru the Santa Cruz
river and Argentino lake, to arrive to these pristine waters.
