Jurassic Lake/Estancia Laguna Verde/Patagonia
A lodge that is fast becoming (at light speed) a regular destination on my hosted trip circuit is Estancia Laguna Verde in the Patagonia region of Argentina. And the reason is simple...the lodge has exclusive access to many miles of the planets best giant rainbow trout fishery, Jurassic Lake.
These fish average 10 pounds honestly, 15 pounders are pretty routine, and 20 pounders are caught frequently. Don't make the mistake of thinking that these fish are simply lazy behemoths. They are not. These are coastal rainbows (including the steelhead form); acrobatic, hard fighters that test you and your gear.
Although extremely remote, ELV provides an upscale experience with superb Argentine dining, accommodations, and service. The guides are English speaking professionals focused on service to the clients.
Although travel is substantial, we have planned our travels to provide the best possible logistics. With overnights stays in Buenos Aires and El Calafate we have time to relax, enjoy the sights, and take tours. This is the way to do Jurassic Lake.
