FISHING / 3 Valles

Rio Pico, Chubut Province, Argentina

3 Valles Fly Fishing Lodge is the perfect setting for fly fishing aficionados – beautiful scenery, wonderful atmosphere, unforgettable fly fishing!  3 Valles is located in the famous Rio Pico region at the base of the Andes Mountains in the Chubut Province of Argentine Patagonia.  The lodge, situated on a vast 16,000 acre ranch, combines style, comfort and serenity together with first class service thought out especially for the discerning angler. The cuisine at 3 Valles is prepared by our award winning chef and highlights the quality of Argentina´s products and flavors.  The chef emphasizes traditional dishes such as Patagonian Lamb and the famed Argentina asado (BBQ), always accompanied by fine Argentine wines.

The Lodge
The lodge can accommodate 8 guests in 4 spacious bedrooms with en suite baths.  Each lovely room faces the crystalline waters of Vinter Lake.  Other facilities include living and dining rooms, bar, media room and gift shop.

Fishing and Non-Fishing Activities
The Rio Pico region offer excellent fly fishing on numerous, crystalline river, streams and lakes, all of which receive virtually no angling pressure throughout the year.  A wide variety of fishing options are available for guests of all levels – wade fishing, float trips, lake fishing from boats or the shore.  The experienced angler will find challenging spring creeks while the novice will enjoy the small ponds chock full of trout before tackling one of the nearby streams.  Rio Nilsen and Rio Pico are ideal for light equipment using dries and nymphs.  The larger Rio Corcovado holds a healthy population of Rainbow, Brown and Brook Trout – even the occasional Pacific Salmon, which can exceed 40 pounds.   Lakes Uno, Dos, Tres and Cuatro are ideal for float tube fishing, while larger lakes such as Vinter, La Pava, Torres and Constanza may be fished from one of the lodges well equipped boats.  For the non-fisherman, 3 Valles offers numerous activities to ensure a wonderful stay such as horseback riding, boat trips, mountain biking and excursions to see the local flora and fauna.
