Cast and Blast Combo: Limay River Lodge and Cordoba Lodge

Argentina is a sportsman’s paradise and a land of diverse fishing and wingshooting options. Nothing expresses this diversity more than the quintessential – and coveted – “cast and blast” departure. Limay River Lodge is a brand new destination on one of the country’s finest tailwater rivers, expanding the trout fishing season from November well into May. Thanks to lower elevations and mild temperate weather, this region is to host prolific hatches, ample terrestrials and big powerful hydraulic strengthened trout.

Three airports of equal distance from the lodge offer ample flight opportunities from a quick connection from Patagonia to Cordoba, Argentina, the epicenter of dove shooting in the world. Despite all other claims, no region offers the perfect combination of undulating hilly terrain, bird volume and shooting history of the Cordoba Providence. A short drive from the airport and strategically located, the new Cordoba Lodge offers price-point shooting opportunities paired with the same accommodations, cuisine and shooting staff found in top lodges worldwide. Cordoba Lodge sacrifices nothing and affords an ideal quick dove shoot to complement a week on the water in Patagonia.

Frontiers, Patagonia Outfitters and David Denies Wingshooting are the three longest standing sporting hosts in these regions. Come experience the professionalism of all three.
