Welcome to the 2023/24 Argentina Fly Fishing Season
November 1st to May 31st
Our time with Gus got off to a great start - we rented an Airbnb which ended up being just a few houses from his in Junin!
It's hard to capture all the benefits of fishing with Gus for 2 days but here are a few of the highlights:
- He provided great instruction in casting which we both needed
- He knew the places along the river each day which were the best place to locate fish
- He frequently got out of the boat in the shallows to hold us in place as we casted and also to net the fish ..read more

That was really a terrific experience. I liked how genuine the fishing was - just as if you lived there. Gus is the real deal BTW. I have nothing but good things to say.
Thanks for putting up with my many questions throughout the process.
At some juncture I’d like to make something like it happen again so it may not be the last you hear from me.

So grateful for the time I spent with Sean. I sent in for a rather last minute trip, Mark quickly connected me with Sean who worked with my schedule. He helped me gain knowledge for reading the river and he shared his expertise. Throughout our time together, he helped me with perfecting my cast, mending the line, and setting the hook for consistently landing fish. I walked away fulfilled with gratitude, a new connection, and confidence.

I had a fantastic trip! This was my first experience with fresh water fly fishing, and it lived up to everything I hoped for...my guide was awesome...patient and very knowledgeable of the water we were fishing. He helped show me what to do, where the fish would be, and seemed to be as excited as I was when we landed fish! I can't wait to go back and do it again!
Thanks so much for the great trip! Can't recommend enough!

The experience Mark offers is second to none. His instruction was clear and effective. He took us to a beautiful secluded spot where we fished all day and landed some whales. This was my first time fly fishing and I never thought that we would be so successful. I would absolutely recommend Mark for any skill level and I look forward to fishing with him again. Thanks Mark!!
