One of the favourites things to do in Patagonia´s rivers, is the fly fishing.
What is fly fishing? Fly fishing is a distinct and ancient angling method, most renowned as a method for catching trout and salmon, but employed today for a wide variety of species including pike, bass, panfish, and carp, as well as marine species, such as redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass. There are many reports of fly fisherman taking quite unintended species such as chub, bream and rudd while fishing for 'main target' species such as trout. There is a growing population of anglers whose aim is to catch as many different species as possible with the fly In fly fishing, fish are caught by using artificial flies that are cast with a fly rod and a fly line.
The fly line (today, almost always coated with plastic) is heavy enough to send the fly to the target. Artificial flies vary dramatically in size and weight, depending upon the application. It is important that the fly be matched with the appropriate line, rod, and reel. In general, larger, heavier flies require heavier lines, larger capacity reels, and heavier weight rods.

Many fly fishing enthusiasts who fish worldwide (especially those that plan to fish in Argentina and Chile) ask the question, "How do I find a responsible guide or outfitter and what questions should I ask him/her in regards to my fishing trip."

In Argentina and Chile similar laws also applies as in the U.S. "Anyone entering Argentina or Chile with just a tourist visa cannot work in that country."
