Autumn Fly Fishing Trip To Rio Manso Lodge In Patagonia With Pat Dorsey

The Blue Quill Angler and Rio Manso Lodge have teamed up to offer you a world-class adventure to Patagonia (Argentina). Rio Manso Lodge is located in northern Patagonia near the border of Chile. Nestled in Argentina’s Nahuel Huapi National Park along the banks of Lake Hess and the Rio Manso, the team of professionals at Rio Manso Lodge will make your Patagonia experience a trip to remember!

April (autumn in Patagonia) is a wonderful time to fish Patagonia. It is the equivalent of September in North America. Both browns and brook trout become more aggressive as they add weight in preparation for spawning season. It is also the best time of the year to catch a truly large brown.

Beautifully colored brook trout up to 3 pounds, 4-8 pound browns, and hefty rainbows are the targets.  This will be hosted by Pat and Kim Dorsey  and is limited to 14 anglers. This is dedicated to a group of hard core anglers who don’t mind battling the elements, working hard, hunting big brown trout, and searching for a brook trout of a lifetime. There's a strong emphasis on lake fishing and fishing the creek mouths, inlets, and numerous springs that enter the stillwaters. This is truly a magical time of year!

If weather permits, theres an option to drive to the Limay River from the lodge a day or two. Limay is not a numbers game, this is "quality over quantit", looking for  "one grab" that might be a brown trout of a lifetime.
