Destination Feature - Jurassic Lake
Hey, Folks! Today we are featuring one of our favorite destinations, Jurassic Lake in Argentina. Read on to hear about epic rainbow trout, our preferred lodging partner, hosted trip opportunities, and gear recommendations.
Simply put, Lago Strobel (Jurassic Lake) and the Rio Barrancoso are probably THE BEST place on earth to catch giant, wild rainbow trout. If you are looking to catch the biggest rainbow trout of your life this is the place!
Anglers from around the globe travel to Jurassic Lake in search of double-digit rainbow trout on the fly. Chances of catching multiple 10 plus pound rainbows in a week are very high and there is even a chance of breaking the 20 pound mark.
Jurassic Lake is a special place for us, and whether you join one of our Hosted Trips, entrust us to book your own Custom dream trip, or consult with us on the best gear for your next trip, we would love to share our passion for this iconic destination with you!
BSA's Featured Partner at Jurassic Lake
Given the incredible remoteness of Lago Strobel and Estancia Laguna Verde, it is a wonder that any lodging exists at all. But it does, and the first class food and wine, and extraordinarily comfortable lodging are a true testament to the Estancia’s commitment to providing a phenomenal experience for their guests.
Estancia Laguna Verde is very unique in that, unlike other operations, it offers anglers access via private roads to a huge amount of the eastern shoreline of Jurassic Lake and the Rio Barrancoso.

Put Our Experience to Work for You.
Here at Big Sky Anglers we have lived, worked, and explored throughout Patagonia for decades. We have learned a lot over the years about what you need in different places, in different conditions, and at different times of the season. We've worked closely to develop new flies, and refine new fishing strategies. We are on the cutting edge of advancements in gear designs, and in constant contact with the Estancia Laguna Verde team on the ground to keep our finger on the pulse of current conditions.
The remoteness of this location, and ruggedness of the terrain demand the right gear that will stand up to the elements, and keep you fishing for that fish of a lifetime.
