Middle Limay River:

Over 50 miles of the Middle Limay River runs along the Patagonian high steppe into the huge Ramos Mejia Lake, home of a large population of rainbows and enormous brown trout, that will migrate up the river during the season looking for bait fish.

This is an exceptional tailwater fishery that flows out of Pichi Picun Leufu dam, guaranteeing consistent flow, temperature, clarity and the perfect habitat for rainbows and browns.

Some people think the Limay river as a "big water streamer only" fishery, and I must say, "they are wrong"! The middle Limay river system provides a world of fly fishing alternatives because the structure of the river is fantastic! There are many side channels, shallow and long riffles, cut banks and a lot of perfect wadeable water which makes it a destination for every angler!

Good hatches provide a lot of action on the surface. This is a river that will surprise you. It is the home of the most powerful rainbows in all our area.

During the entire fishing season, a big number of resident browns and rainbows that are spread along the river system and provide constant action. Regular fly fishing techniques work perfect. Big foam dries and classic dry fly patterns will bring agressive trout to the surface and in many cases unexpected oversized resident browns that can easilly go over 24 inches.

This pristine and healthy habitat offers a LATE SEASON SPECIAL! Beginning on late March, the migration of massive brown trout starts. A large number of browns will start moving up-stream from Ramos Mejia Lake getting ready for the spawning season, and that is when tape measures come out, trying to seek for a real number to put in our records book.... 30".. 31".. 33"....
