argentina PATAGONIA RIVER GUIDES SOUTH [Esquel, Argentina] Arguably the most complete, high-end and professional fishing operation in all of Patagonia, P.R.G. South offers exceptional accommodations, extraordinary customer service, the best in regional wines and local cuisine, and an endless frontier of incredible fly fishing. One of the things that makes this program so good is that P.R.G. South utilizes two different fishing lodges; the first near the town of Trevelin and Los Alerces Park, and the other further to the south in the Rio Pico region. Having two exclusive and unique locations available at all times delivers a huge advantage for extended trips by making countless rivers, streams and lakes available. The huge variety of waters and fishing opportunities that can be accessed in these two locations is second to none, which means that you will be fishing the very best waters in Patagonia at exactly the right times. One of the greatest things about the PRG fishing program is that every fishing day features a different river, spring creek, or lake. Patagonia River Guides utilizes both private and public waters and they have miles of streams and access points under lease for the exclusive enjoyment of their guests. Some waters are floated, some are waded, and some a combination of the two depending on conditions and desires. Another of P.R.G.’s major strengths is their guide staff. All of their guides average more than ten years of experience, speak excellent English, and have access to an impressive fleet of trucks, boats and equipment. Each of these trips is 100% tailored to your expectations, the time of year, and local fishing conditions. 7 night / 6 fishing day packages (double occupancy) $4,550.00 to $5,600.00 per person. argentina PATAGONIA RIVER GUIDES NORTH [San Martin, Argentina] Patagonia River Guides, a long-time lodge and outfitting entity based in Esquel, expanded their operations in 2010 to include full-service outfitting in the San Martin and Junin de los Andes areas.
