Fishing in Argentine Southern Patagonia is a challenge due to its climatic factors, long distances and the need to have exhaustive knowledge of the region. For this reason, the tour fishing guides are constantly searching for new fishing spots in El Calafate area. In this way, lovers of sport fishing have the opportunity to carry out an intense spinning fishing day while visiting little-known areas and enjoying a different experience.

The tour begins when you are picked up from your hotel in El Calafate, after coordinating a start time, to travel in vehicle to the fishing spot. The guides have extensive fishing experience in the area and in the activity. During the tour, they will tell anecdotes about the southern estancias and contribute with their vast knowledge of the best fishing places to fully enjoy the experience.

The possible fishing places can be in the vicinity of the Perito Moreno Glacier in front of Lake Roca or at the mouth of Lake Argentino near the Santa Cruz River, both places are the most beautiful sites in the area with an impressive flora and fauna.
