A lake in Lago Puelo National Park, south of El Bolsón, with turquoise waters that drain toward the Pacific, surrounded by Valdivian rainforest. Brown and rainbow trout and perch in a wetter, milder climate.
You fish from shore, from a boat, with fly, spinning and trolling, from November to April with the Patagonian permit. Its connection to Chilean waters occasionally adds big fish. The village of Lago Puelo and El Bolsón provide all the logistics.

Lake Puelo has 2 fishing spots surveyed and none rated yet.
How the fish were biting depends on the day: the river level, the season, plain luck. Scoring that with stars would be averaging the weather — one bad day would sink a spot that is excellent in season.
That is why fishing is told in the report, which carries a date and helps whoever comes next week. The stars score what does not change: access, facilities, the fishing stand and cleanliness.
