Deep in beautiful Argentinean Patagonia, Rio Manso Lodge is located
on the bank of Hess Lake and the Manso River in the Nahuel Huapi National Park, 90 minutes South West of the city
of San Carlos de Bariloche. The wide range of rivers, streams and lakes close to Rio Manso fish very well due to extremely low fishing pressure in the area. This, the spectacular view of Mount Tronador and Lake Hess, and the friendly, attentive service will make for an unforgettable visit. Fly fishing is done on many different sections of the Manso River, which runs for 20 miles around the Lodge. The lodge's belly boats and skiffs provide access to pristine, untouched wilderness. You will find native Argentina brook trout, browns trout and rainbow trout of remarkable quality |

and a wide knowledge of all the activities you can enjoy during your visit. Sebastian, who has been a fly fishing guide for 12 years, grew up in a family of guides, and has been immersed in the tradition and industry of fly fishing since a young boy. He now manages the lodge and heads up his team of guides, who are all English speaking and well experienced in local waters. The Lodge caters mostly to fly fishermen.
