Discover the legendary Río Corcovado in Argentina’s Patagonia, a premier destination for anglers seeking trophy trout in untouched wilderness. Flowing from Lago Vintter through remote Andean landscapes, this river is celebrated for its extraordinary runs of giant rainbow trout in spring and record-breaking brook trout in autumn, with specimens regularly exceeding 7 pounds and tales of double-digit giants. Its crystal-clear waters offer exceptional sight-fishing opportunities for hefty brown trout and Pacific salmon, creating a diverse fishery unlike any other.
Wade or float through a mix of exhilarating whitewater and serene riffle-pool sections, casting streamers, nymphs, or large dry flies to aggressive, hard-fighting fish. With minimal angling pressure and exclusive access to secluded spring creeks and lakes in the Río Pico area, Corcovado delivers both solitude and consistent action. The fall season transforms these waters into a brook trout paradise, where patient anglers stalk once-in-a-lifetime trophies in gin-clear currents against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks.
Accessible yet wild, Corcovado’s challenge lies in its rugged terrain and technical fishing—perfect for adventurers pursuing the trout of a lifetime. From migratory rainbows to voracious browns and Labradoresque brookies, every bend holds the promise of a personal best amidst Patagonia’s breathtaking expanse.
