Join Montana Angler at Chime Lodge in the heart of Northern Patagonia to experience a diverse fishing program that targets some of the region's most prolific fisheries such as the Chimuhuin, Collon Cura, Malleo and Alumine, in addition to several trophy lakes. Our friends at Nervous Water leave no stone unturned to compliment world class fishing with a premier lodging experience. Off the water, relax in style at the lodge, whether reclining on the sprawling deck, enjoying the hot tub, or unwinding in the comfortable living room and bar overlooking the willow-lined Chimehuín below. All of this is paired with exceptional service, excellent cuisine, and a full selection of Argentina’s renowned wines.
Mid-March is the start of fall in Patagonia and is a favorite time of year for many anglers. Summer tourist traffic drops off, temperature decreases and precipitation rises this time of the year, which normally brings on the fall feeding frenzy of area trout with cooling and rising rivers. Browns and brook trout are getting ready to spawn and many of those larger fish, which swam back into the lake during the middle of summer, are migrating back to the river to feed or spawn. Fall colors in Patagonia are spectacular and if you are lucky enough to be able to come and enjoy the fall, you will probably become addicted to the beauty, the tranquility, and the fishing. Although the days are not as long as the spring and the summer, you still get plenty of time on the water, in fact, you might actually get more fishing as the guides are excited this time of the year.
