Caught on spin tackle or on a fly rod the smallmouth is, inch for inch and pound for pound, the sportiest fish in freshwater. As soon as they're hooked a smallmouth lets off with an exciting series of runs and jumps, fighting against the rod and giving the impression that it's a far bigger fish than it is. From the end of June to the end of October the smallmouth fishing is hot with all day action being the norm rather than the exception. The #1 reason is because it's just downright fun!
Patagonia is fishing famous waters in solitude, where you can catch all three wild trout species (rainbow, brown and brook trout) and maybe the added bonus of landlocked salmon. Our customized trip are not bound by the constraints of a lodge. Experience Patagonia is by taking a multi day float trip on remote waters and feasting on classic Patagonian cuisine prepared over charcoal by our camp crew is a wonderful finish to the day.
