Rio Gallegos – The Sea Trout from Solid Adventures on Vimeo.

Combination Trip
Experience the Best of Patagonia with our new Combi trip. Las Buitreras / Rio Gallegos Sea trout and Jurassic Lake wild rainbows - in one trip, 1 april - 13 april. Only 4.990E from Rio Gallegos and back from Calafate.

This time of the year it's prime time in Jurassic with huge number of monster chromers cruising around outside the mouth of the river. 10 kilos wild rainbows are not unusual - on dry fly! The new heated cabins will make the life in the wilderness nice and cozy.

Las Buitreras pools are filled up with sea running browns and there's still fresh runs coming to the river (all the time into may) that "shake" up the pools. The river normally goes up and down, creating a need for fish to change places, making them eager to take the fly.

Pre Season Report

The Las Buitreras camp manager Claudio Martin has been testing the waters. Two fish around 20 pounds, and two over 15 landed in one glorious afternoon. From the amazing Jurassic Lake we got a report that Dale Thorson landed 100 wild Rainbows in one day! Guess your arms are still sore Dale .

- The beginning of the season at Buitreras is less then a month away and we are looking forward to welcoming our first group. The river is getting in perfect shape!

River is roughly above +30 cm with light tea coloration and water temperature over 7°C.
It’s a great time at Las Buitreras and a lot of work for all the ones involved into making this place more than just a fishing destination.


Machines working on the roads, trucks coming up a down bringing supplies, girls redecorating the lodge, and fishing guides doing what they do best after, of course, guiding, sleeping, barbeques, sleeping again (and the list goes on and on…), anyway, they’re out there, just fishing…

We’ve been finding all along the different beats a mix of fresh sea-run browns and some of those lead-colored ones with 2-3 weeks from earlier runs that have reached their destination: Gallegos Rivers mid section, along Estancia Las Buitreras.
Beats 3 and 4 have been the best ones over the last 7 days and pools like El Henrik, Raquel and Limit Pools up to Flats and Island Stream have been producing the most. The highest tides of the year and one of the biggest runs is yet to come… come join us for the trip of a lifetime!
