The Rivers & Lake
Quillén
The Quillen valley, located 100 miles northwest of San Martin de los Andes, offers the widest variety of fishing options in the Neuquen province throughout the season.
The Quillen is a very wader friendly River in its upper section and offers pocket water conditions on the lower reaches. Both areas hold beautiful resident rainbow and brown trout surface feeding.
Malalco
The Malalco stream is a tributary to the Quillen coming off the Andes mountain range, it runs cold and flat at the top, where wading is as easy as walking on a rug then drops fast as it flows into the Quillen over huge boulders on the lower section where you will enjoy some of the most exciting pocket water fishing. Sight fishing for rainbows and browns with light rods and tackle.
Quillén Lake
Fly fishermen for the most part don't enjoy fishing on lakes; well here is a lake everybody will certainly enjoy. During the early season, December and January when the dragonfly hatch comes off, the fish go on a feeding frenzy, so we row the reed lines at the end of the lake throwing dragonfly imitations at rainbows and browns. This is some of the most exciting fly fishing you will see anywhere, imagine fish coming 3 feet out of the water with your fly in their mouth before you even have a chance to set the hook.
