Stone River Lodge
A Handcrafted
Fly Fishing Journey
World-Class Trout Waters
Each day is tailored—floating or wading—in search of wild trout across diverse waters, from intimate spring creeks to broad freestone rivers.
This region’s long season, varied water types, and healthy populations of wild trout make it a fly angler’s sanctuary.
Exclusive Access: Our programs unlock both iconic public rivers AND rarely fished private waters, where solitude, scenery, and stalking trout come together.

Your Home in Patagonia
Where wilderness meets refinement.
Stone River Lodge goes beyond the waters to provide a holistic Patagonian experience. 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.
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.
