PATAGONIA TROUT FISHING
Luxury lodging, serious angling.
Stone River Lodge offers a handcrafted fly fishing journey across the rivers of Patagonia: the Aluminé, Chimehuin, and Collon Curá. Each day is tailored—floating or wading—in search of wild trout in diverse waters, from intimate spring creeks to broad freestone rivers.
Our programs unlock access to both iconic public rivers and rarely fished private waters—where solitude, scenery, and stalking trout come together in perfect rhythm.
This region’s long season, varied water types, and healthy populations of wild trout make it a fly angler’s sanctuary. And our deep-rooted knowledge ensures each session is more than fishing—it’s connection, discovery, and immersion.
SPECIES
- Brown Trout - aggressive, territorial, and often trophy-sized
- Rainbow Trout - acrobatic and abundant in freestone runs
- Atlantic Salmon -
SERIOUS FISHING.
ACCOMMODATIONS
While fishing is the highlight, Stone River Lodge goes beyond the waters to provide a holistic Patagonian experience. Set deep in the heart of Northern Patagonia, this iconic lodge—founded by Argentine fly fishing pioneer Bebe Anchorena—was born from a vision to merge immersive wilderness with refined hospitality.
This is more than a fishing lodge—it’s a place to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with something elemental, through a genuine Patagonian lens.
CUISINE
Perched on the banks of the river, the lodge blends understated luxury with raw, untamed beauty. With just four suites and space for only eight guests, exclusivity defines the experience. Expect elevated service, inspired cuisine drawn from local harvests, and a curated cellar of Catena Zapata wines—Argentina’s most emblematic label.
