Argentina fly fishing: Santa Cruz Steelhead

For those who love fly fishing for steelhead here is a new location for you all to consider. Argentina is world famous for its runs of sea-run brown trout up the Rio Grande and rivers of Tierra Del Fuego yet there is something new on the horizon for the angler seeking virtually unfished populations of steelhead. Maria Behety Lodge guide Nick Thomson spends most of his time putting clients onto the huge sea run brown trout that run up the Rio Grande. Post season on his way back to Buenos Aires he heads to the Santa Cruz river and catches these....





Argentine steelhead!! The Santa Cruz is a huge body of water but each April and May experiences a big run of chrome steelhead of solid proportions. For the 2009 season Fly Odyssey will be running several trips between April and May specifically to target the steelhead running up the Santa Cruz. Group size is a maximum of 4 anglers and costs £2500 p.p and includes 7 nights accommodation, 6 days guided fishing and all meals. For more information please email us.
