For trout anglers who seek trophy fish, the is no place like Lago Strobel otherwise known as Jurassic Lake. The lake holds some of the worlds largest wild rainbow trout that have grown fat and strong on a diet of freshwater shrimp. These giant rainbows feed hard and can be sight fished to on floating lines using everything from streamers and nymphs, skating big foam flies and mouse patterns.

Estancia Laguna Verde Fishing

Strategically located, Estancia Laguna Verde has exclusive access to more than fourteen kilometres of Strobel Lake, over ten kilometres of the Barrancoso river and a further ten kilometres of the recently discovered Moro Creek. In addition to what is already vast expanse of stunning water, the lodge also can fish a myriad of smaller lakes and lagoons chained together by the Moro Creek.

The incredible Barrancoso River is the only tributary of Strobel Lake. This beautiful freestone river runs for more than ten kilometres through the Estancia, allowing anglers access to some incredible river fishing. Massive rainbows run the river and can be targeted in the pools, riffles and runs they occupy. Hook one here, and you will have a severe battle on your hands.

The Lodge

The lodge is located on the shores of the beautiful “Laguna Verde” (Green Lake) and within easy access to all the fishing programs. The main lodge is a typical “estancia house” accommodating up to ten anglers per week. It has seven double en-suite bedrooms, each with two single beds.
