FISHING / Tipiliuke

Framed by rivers Chimehuín and Quilquihue, Estancia Tipiliuke offers anglers a wide stretch for world class

fly fishing experience. Tipiliuke is set in the Andean

foothills and is a fully working estancia with a very significant cattle operation. 

 

The lodge is located in the centre of the property

and has 9 bedrooms with private bathrooms, a living

room, a dining room and a cozy bar. There are also

two private houses, Casa Pablo and Casa Mayal, the

former has 3 bedrooms, the latter has 5. The lodge

has a special garden within the park of the main

Estancia. There are about 200 species of different

trees from all over the world, acquired and planted

during three generations of the family.

 

Everything is arranged for fly fisherman to have

an unforgettable stay including professional guides,

vehicles, riverside lunches, and spectacular fly fishing for Brown and Rainbow Trout on the ranch’s private access to the famous Chimehuin River which flows through the property.

 

Fishing times vary depending on month and climate.

A typical spring fishing day will start in the morning

with fishing from 8:00 to 12:30, returning to the

lodge for lunch, followed by an afternoon of fishing

from 3:30 to 7:30. The afternoon session starts later

during the months of December and January to take advantage

of the magical dusk fishing hours.

Tipiliuke is a strictly CATCH AND RELEASE fishery.

Guides are equipped with nets and will assist guests in

weighing and releasing fish without harming them.

 

There are direct flights from Aeroparque (Ba local

airport) or a 2hr flight to San Martín de los Andes,

where you will be received and driven to the estancia

(10 minutes). Tipiliuke can also be reached from

Bariloche by car (3 hours drive) or by air (30 minutes

flight - only private flights for Bariloche / Chapelco

airport leg).
