Set on the western edge of Lago Strobel, Estancia Laguna Verde offers unmatched diversity for anglers targeting trophy rainbow trout at Jurassic Lake. With private access to over 14 kilometers of shoreline, multiple spring-fed creeks, and both upper and lower beats of the Barrancoso River, the program combines walk-wade fishing, sight casting, and technical dry fly work across a remote section of southern Patagonia. Rainbows over 20 pounds are caught each season, and daily rotations ensure anglers experience the full range of this unique watershed.
Fishing Jurassic Lake and the Barrancoso River
Estancia Laguna Verde controls key areas of Lago Strobel, including productive bays and inlet sections that hold large trout throughout the season. The lodge also manages extensive stretches of the Barrancoso River—the lake’s only tributary—allowing access to both fast, structured runs and more open flats where sight fishing is possible. For anglers seeking solitude and variety, the lodge also offers guided access to the exclusive spring creek known as “Moreno”, along with additional freestone creeks that hold resident fish.
Fly Fishing Setup and Seasonal Tactics at Laguna Verde
Fishing is mostly walk-and-wade, with strong emphasis on stealth and accuracy. Around 90% of the action is done using floating lines, long leaders, and unweighted flies to target cruising trout in clear water. In deeper areas or on windy days, anglers switch to sink tips or heavier patterns. Most use 6–8 weight rods with stout tippet and barbless hooks. Prime fishing runs from November through early May, with hatches, wind patterns, and fish behavior shifting through the season.
Consistent Action and Trophy Trout at Jurassic Lake
Lago Strobel’s nutrient-rich water supports one of the most productive trout populations in the world. Rainbows regularly range from 6–15 pounds, with chances at much larger fish—especially near creek mouths and wind-driven structure. With low angling pressure, diverse waters, and experienced local guides, Estancia Laguna Verde offers consistent opportunities at world-class fish under truly wild conditions.
Remote River Camps and Guided Fly Fishing in Patagonia
For those looking to explore farther, the lodge offers optional overnight river camps on the upper Barrancoso and other remote stretches. These tent-based trips provide access to untouched water with strong fish numbers and total solitude. Daily lodge-based fishing is guided at a 2:1 ratio, with flexible plans that match current conditions and guest preferences. Each day offers something new—whether it’s a calm morning on the lake or stalking trout in a narrow spring creek channel.
From spring creek stalks to shoreline giants, Estancia Laguna Verde delivers one of the most varied and rewarding fly fishing experiences at Jurassic Lake.
