...Once you choose to come with El Encuentro, we are always
proud to consider you a new friend, with an enduring friendship
that goes beyond our days together in Patagonia."
9. How do you select a new fishing guide?
"For El Encuentro the team of guides is one of our strengths and
it is very important. We understand that our guests will be spending
most of the day with our guides so at the moment of adding new
guides to the team we seek in them more than just a good
fisherman. Apart from being passionate about this sport they need
to be able to provide a fun and entertained day sharing their
knowledge about our area, culture, flora and fauna all while
catching fish.
Our guides are career professionals, dedicated to the sport,
constantly raising the bar of knowledge and technique in
Patagonia Fly Fishing. They love nothing more than to share their
skill and expertise with visiting anglers. They are all hard workers
and speak English very well."
10. How do you select a cook for your lodge kitchen?
"Pinky, EEFF Chef, loves cooking professionally, and has truly
found his passion working with El Encuentro’s big family and
getting to reconnect with our returning guests over the years. He
has been working at EEFF for six seasons now, and each one
brings new challenges and new recipes to showcase Argentine
cuisine.
At El Encuentro Flyfishing we take great pride in our culinary
program. “Farm to Table” isn’t just a trendy hashtag for us, it’s a
necessity, a way of life handed down from generation to
generation, rich in Argentine tradition. Our head chef, Pinky, and
his team craft exceptional meals featuring fresh ingredients from
our own expansive organic gardens and orchards, as well as
locally sourced organic meats from neighboring estancias. Wether
dining at our home lodge overlooking the blue green waters of the
Rio Futaleufú, or at our remote Brook Trout Base Camp on the
banks of the Rio Corcovado, you are sure to experience a true taste
of Patagonia! ...
