Patagonia Fly Fishing

AUTHENTIC CUSTOM-PLANNED

EXPERIENCES SINCE 1985

• Welcome to El Encuentro Fly Fishing •

The Beale family pioneered the first fly fishing lodge in Chubut Province in 1985, setting it idyllically on the banks of the Rio Futaleufu and naming it El Encuentro. Our family’s tradition of introducing anglers to world-class fly fishing and true Argentine hospitality continues better than ever today.

Fly Fishing With El Encuentro

Patagonia is famous for its world-class fly fishing. El Encuentro’s deep roots in the province of Chubut have allowed us to develop the most robust and diverse fishing program in this area. Our access to exclusive waters and the knowledge and experience of our veteran guides set us apart.

Experience Argentine Patagonia

Most of our guests come from countries far and wide, and we love nothing better than helping them plan the ideal fly fishing trip, while also making travel easy and comfortable. Perhaps you want to fish every day for more than a week? Maybe you want to fish for several days, but then go birdwatching or hiking in one of our stunning national parks. Maybe you’d like to explore Buenos Aires at the start or end of your time at El Encuentro. We are ready to help you plan the perfect trip for you, your group, or your family.

Fly Fishing… And So Much More

Fly fishing is at the core of who we are — but we know that the most memorable trips involve more than just the fishing. It’s the places and the people — and sharing those moments with our El Encuentro family — that will stay in your heart and mind for years after. Our trout fishing is world-renowned, but it’s also our vibrant culture and friendly people that we’re excited to share with you throughout your trip.
