Estancia Quemquemtreu - Fishing

The Collon Cura is the focus from Quemquemtreu, with miles and miles of lightly fished water. The majority of trout here are rainbows but there are some big browns too, and in recent seasons, resident brown trout of up to 15 pounds have been released. Wet flies are the typical approach or the "hopper and dropper" is also effective. The Chimehuin presents another set of fishing challenges from Quemquemtreu, and both wet- and dry-fly techniques are effective on this wadable river, first made popular by the legendary Joe Brooks. Quemquemtreu also has its own small river flowing through the ranch, the Quemquemtreu, which fishes best December through late January. If your trip to Patagonia occurs at a time when this river is productive, you'll enjoy a half or full day stalking trout in the intimate confines of this delightful private stream.
