The Story

Estancia Tecka, one of South America's largest working cattle and sheep ranches, is home to two pristine trout streams that offer a secluded and unforgettable angling experience. Beyond the occasional sighting of gauchos on horseback, you'll rarely see another angler along these waters.

The fly fishing lodge features some of Argentina’s finest English-speaking guides, experts in wade fishing for brook, rainbow, and brown trout on the Tecka—a meandering spring creek with diverse waters to enchant even the most avid anglers. Spanning over 435,000 acres, Tecka provides unmatched solitude in the heart of Patagonia. Paired with the estancia’s cozy accommodations and authentic cuisine, it’s the perfect retreat to immerse yourself in breathtaking scenery and exceptional fishing.

Headquarters Lodge on Estancia Tecka is the original estancia home dating back to the 1920s and exudes traditional Argentine charm and estancia character. Featuring four spacious bedrooms and granite bathrooms, the lodge offers a comfortable retreat in the rolling Andean foothills of the Tecka River Valley. Its central location ensures quick access to various sections of the Tecka River, while also providing the option to explore nearby spring creeks, rivers, and lakes.

Arrival day

After flying into Esquel airport, a lodge representative will transfer you the approx. 1 hr 45 minute journey to the lodge.

Fishing Days

After breakfast each morning you will head out to your fishing for the day. With over 45 miles of the Corcovado to choose from, you can fish different water each day. Typically, you will return to the lodge for lunch and a siesta before heading back out to the river in the mid-afternoon, but lunch out on the water is also available. You will usually fish until dark and then return to the lodge for dinner around 8 or 9 PM. The siesta is shorter, and dinner is served earlier during the shorter days at the beginning and end of the season. At dinner each evening, you will plan out the fishing for the following day. You have the option of fishing either the Rio Corcovado or the Rio Tecka and other watersheds on the property.

Departure

Following a leisurely breakfast on your final day, you will be transferred to the Esquel airport and take your flight back to Buenos Aires.

You will have the opportunity to fish the Tecka, which is a smaller sized trout stream with a low gradient and slowly moving, smooth, clear water. This intimate fishery will have you sight-casting to a large population of rainbow, brown and brook trout. Trout here average 14-16" with many larger fish holding in the prime lies. The fishing in Tecka requires finer tippets and techniques, but you will find that the Tecka’s trout are more than willing to take a well-presented fly. The Tecka has enough unique water that an angler could fish this one river for their entire stay and not fish the same pool twice. Please call us about float trip opportunities.
