About 8 miles of the most crystal clear water of the Quillen River run through this ranch.
|
|
| Famous among the dry fly fanatics, the Quillen offers a wide variety of water structure and bottoms providing a perfect habitat for a good population of rainbows and browns that are activelly feeding and rising through most of the season. |
| This big estancia provides also access to the Malaco and Caballadas (not open every season) spring creeks, and to the beautiful Quillen lake. |
 |
| THE QUILLEN RIVER is a moderate to small sized river. Weed beds flats, riffles, cut banks with deep pools, willow lines along some of the banks provide a variety of water and perfect habitat for trout. |
| Light tackle & Sight Fishing makes this river one of the favourite in the list. |
| Average trout run from 16 " to 20" but in many cases big browns (over 8 pounds) decide to take our small dries and test hooks and tippets to the limit! |
| Different hatches cycle around the day, but the evening ones can be just amazing, especially caddiss and big Goddard's. |
| A mix between sand, small gravel and mid size boulders can be find along most of the stretches we fish, which makes wadding very easy. |
| The access to the fishing areas is very easy and fast. Estimate 5 to 15 minutes |
| For those who enjoy hiking, The Malalco canyon offers one of the best sight fishing around the area, surrounded by incredible scenary and almost untouched waters. |
| Consider Late December, January and early February as prime time to fish the Quillen, although the fishing is good through the entire season. |
