FAQ

I've never fished — can I still go?

Yes. The guide teaches you from scratch: casting, reading the river and everything you need. A great way to start.

Do I need a fishing permit?

Yes, the Neuquén provincial permit is mandatory. We help you get it before the outing.

When is the season?

The usual season runs from November to late April. Outside that window, ask us about options.

Shall we go fishing?

Tell us your experience and dates. We'll tailor the day with the guide.
