Private Fishing Trip Nahuel Huapi Lake: Fly, Spin or Troll
Cast from a boat, wade the banks, catch trout without the planning
A half-day private fishing trip on one of three lakes near Bariloche—Nahuel Huapi, Moreno or Gutiérrez—where you fish by boat and from the banks with an expert guide who speaks English or Spanish. You pick the lake, the fishing style (fly, spinning or trolling), and whether you go in the morning or afternoon. All tackle, waders and gear are provided; hotel pickup and drop-off in Bariloche are included. The fishing season runs November through April, though Moreno Lake stays open year-round.
The Experience
What lake suits your day? Nahuel Huapi is the largest and most central lake in the national park; Gutiérrez is the choice when wind picks up; Moreno stays open all year when the others close. You'll pick one when you book, along with your fishing method—fly fishing, spinning, or trolling—and whether you want the morning or afternoon slot. Your guide meets you at your hotel in Bariloche and drives you to the port, where the trip begins with a rundown of the technique you've chosen and what trout species you might encounter: rainbow, brown, and fontinalis.
The boat is a semi-rigid designed for two fishermen, and the guide navigates roughly 12 kilometers across the lake, stopping often to wade the banks where the fish hold. You're fishing the whole time—drifting with the current, casting from the boat, then wading into the shallows at the best spots. The guide explains the water, the history of the place, and what the fish are doing. All the gear stays with you: rods, reels, lines, flies, waders, shoes—nothing to rent separately or bring yourself. No experience is required; the guide customizes the day around what you know.
After six hours, the guide takes you to the end of the lake where a vehicle and trailer are waiting to drive you back to your hotel in Bariloche. The whole day—transport, guide, all equipment, snacks and beverages—is arranged and included. You show up ready to fish.

Is this one for you?Book the morning departure if you want to fish the clearest light and return by early afternoon; choose the afternoon slot to start later or end your day on the water. Either way, a private guide and boat mean you're not sharing the best spots or waiting for a group to move on—the day runs at the pace the fish set.

Can I fish if I've never done it before?
Yes. No fishing experience is required. Your guide customizes the trip around your skill level and teaches you the technique you've chosen—fly fishing, spinning, or trolling—before you cast.
What's the difference between the three lakes?
Nahuel Huapi is the largest and most central lake in the national park. Gutiérrez is the better choice on windy days. Moreno is available year-round, while the other two close from May through October.
Do I need to bring my own fishing gear?
No. The trip includes all tackle and equipment: rods, reels, lines, flies, waders, and shoes. Bring comfortable clothes, sunscreen, sunglasses and a cap; the guide and boat handle the rest.
How does the morning option differ from the afternoon?
You choose which time slot suits your schedule. Both are half-day trips lasting six hours, with the same guide, boat, and fishing methods available on whichever lake you select.
What trout can I catch on these lakes?
Rainbow, brown, and fontinalis trout live in Nahuel Huapi, Moreno, and Gutiérrez. The guide knows where each species holds and adjusts the day's plan based on conditions and what's biting.
When is the fishing season?
The main season runs November 1st through April 30th across the national park. Moreno Lake stays open year-round. Nahuel Huapi and Gutiérrez reopen in May and October for off-season fishing.
