Spring/Early Summer
This would be the months of November and December.
The trout fishing season opens on the
second Saturday in November. If you enjoy the
invigorating temperatures of spring, the countryside
dotted with colorful wildflowers, the hungriest
trout of the season, and the fewest anglers and
tourists, then plan your trip for this time of the
year. The rivers are generally high from snow melt,
but water clarity is not an issue for most of the waters.
This period corresponds with the months of
May and June in the Western U.S. Expect springtime temperatures, cool to cold mornings and
nights. Temperature range: 32 - 70.
sEASONALITY / wHEN TO gO:
The weather in the Argentine Patagonia is very
unpredictable. Although seasons are well defined,
anglers should come physically and mentally
prepared for all types of weather on a daily
basis. Conditions are frequently windy (unless
you’re lucky), rain can occur at any time, and
temperature variations are enormous no matter
the month you visit.
The fishing season in Argentina runs from November
through April. Every month offers advantages
others might not, but no matter which
time of year, you can expect to have a quality
fishing experience.
Mid-Summer
This would be the months of January and February. If you like to fish in short sleeves on
bright, sunny days, you should focus on January and February. A good combination of wet and
dry fly fishing and generally the most dependable weather of the season. These months correspond
with the months of July and August in the Western U.S. The weather can range from
hot and dry in the daytime to cool mornings and nights. Temperatures can range into the 80’s,
and during mid-summer, daylight can last until 10:30 at night. Temperature range: 50 - 85.
Late Summer/Early Fall
During March and April (the season closes
April 30th) the days begin to shorten. In
April the trees start to show the colors
of fall, the salmon and big browns move
from the lakes into the rivers to spawn,
and water temperatures begin to reactivate
the trout. Good wet and dry fly
fishing through mid-April. Water levels
tend to be low and clear. These months
correspond to September and October
in the Western U.S. Expect autumn temperatures
and cool to cold mornings and
nights. Temperature range: 32 - 70.
