Travel times each day vary from twenty minutes to an hour fishing locations such as the Chubut, Carrileufu, Arrayanes and Rivadavia rivers.

Two anglers per guide fish mostly from rafts or drift boats but there is also opportunity for some wading.

Various dry fly patterns are employed by anglers for the majority of the season, but depending on conditions, nymph and streamers can also be successful.

The lodge offers rafts with casting frames and high-back seats as well as drift boats. Anglers should bring their own gear including rods, flies, reels, boots and waders; however, the lodge has a good selection of back up equipment.
