  The Lodge......
 

Located about one hour from Chapelco or Bariloche Airport, almost in the middle of a high desert, Collon Cura Lodge offers private access to the best sections of the biggest river in our area, "the Collon Cura"

Not luxurious or fancy but very functional, peaceful and pleasant, it’s simplicity makes it work just perfect.

The new guest house and the old lodge house where the living room, bar and dinning room are located, form the lodge structure.

The Lodge offers 4 comfortable double rooms with private bathroom, sharing a small living room and will accommodate a maximum of 8 guests.

During your stay, enjoy their perfect home made style dinners and the most wonderful picnics/lunchs, complemented with fresh vegetables from their own garden and selected Argentine red wines.

More than 25 miles of Collon Cura river, plus channels and lagoons, are accessible through the huge ranch.

Collon Cura River Some shallow riffles can be surprising... Collon Cura River
A side road makes the access to the river very easy and convenient - Collon Cura Lodge Floating rafts or drifts boats we have access to some runs not reacheble in other ways
The most common and easy way to fish this river is floating it.

Internal roads lead to different put-in/take out areas allowding us to float a different section every day . For those who prefer just to wade fish, there are several great runs reachable by car ....

Some deep cut-banks that have shade from the willows are usually home of big browns and rainbows that won't hesitate to take a good bulky big dry.... Collon Cura River
THE COLLON CURA RIVER runs through a very dry, flat and wind-water eroded valley. Banks are fully covered by a dense willow forest witch makes a beautiful green / dry contrast that has a unique charm.
Deep and slow pools, shallow and flat runs, long cut banks, riffles, a universe of channels and small lagoons form an amazing habitat for a dense population of rainbows and browns.

Trout between 14 and 22 inches will test your fly rods and reels to the limit, pulling the backing out of your spools ....

If you like the dry fly action and light tackle, late December and January can be amazing, if the green "inch worm hatch" is ON. Also terrestrials and big attractor patterns work very well, specially fishing against cut-banks.

Usually during February, March and April a big migration of minnows floods the river, while big browns and rainbows follow them in schools, attacking them during the entire day,
The access to the fishing areas is very easy . Estimate 5 to 30 minutes
In most of the cases the wadding is easy to very easy, except a couple of rocky areas. Fishing from the raft makes it easier in many cases....
This a a great place to have fun and catch a lot of fish!
