SET Fly Fishing

Argentina Fly Fishing Specialists

After many years of successfully working together, Andes Drifters and Parana on the Fly have officially merged to create a new company, SET Fly Fishing.

The combining of the two companies, and our five exclusive lodges, allow us to offer the widest variety of quality trout and Dorado fishing adventures in Argentina. Our attention to detail, high level of service and experienced professional guide team will remain our central focus.

A US based company with operational headquarters in Argentina, SET Fly Fishing is establishing a new standard for fly fishing trips and lodging options.

Golden Dorado

Salminus Brasiliensis

Golden Dorado live are native from South America, they strike flies aggressively, they jump, they make long runs, they have razor sharp teeth, and they have beautiful coloration. Landing a trophy golden dorado is an angling experience you will never forget. They are considered one of the hardest fighting and most aggressive freshwater species on the planet. They are also unpredictable and wary, making it difficult to predict results during the season.

Patagonia

Rainbow, Brown and Brook Trout

The Northern Patagonia region is the most prolific dry fly fishing district in the world. The variety and abundance of fishable water available would allow you to fish a different location each day for more than 100 days. Dry fly fishing is available throughout the entire season, November through May. Five of the regions most famous rivers, several spring creeks, and pristine mountain lakes are all a short drive away. This region is a dry fly mecca.

Testimonials

Very well run operation. The day spent on the lake was the highlight for me. I am impressed with how the operation has involved and improved over the years I have been coming. I did not think it could get any better, but was amazed this trip at all of the little things that have been thought of-fires in the cabins, members of the team available to help at any time and the food has always been good in the past, but has somehow been elevated to gourmet status.

Fishing was challenging, but very rewarding. Carlos & Nico were great guides that really helped the experience. The level of service was top notch, especially at Itati lodge, Orlando & Raul were amazing!

The marsh was incredible. Really made great because of the weather and the fishing. The guides were fantastic and the food was awesome. The river was tough fishing – but again, weather dependent. I enjoyed my time and grateful that our group all caught dorado’s and we were able to celebrate together.

The lodge accommodations, all staff and guides, food and drink were first-rate – couldn’t be better. You accommodated those in our group who had health issues arise – much appreciated. Wildlife in marsh was astounding. Nothing you could do about the weather, which clearly slowed up the fishing in the marsh. The style of fishing on the Parana was a bit surprising, but quite enjoyable with casting targets galore and excellent boat control.

Lucila and her attention to my pre-trip planning, Salta and the marsh, the FOOD!, Disparo and Rugua, ALL the staff attention to my needs and making me feel such a part of the Argentine culture, dinner on the Parana and simplicity of the charter flight back to Buenos Aires.

John Martin

The fishing was incredible, the accommodation was as well, and the staff was beyond friendly. The meals were memorable. Just Delicious. The two highlights for me were getting to fly the helicopter each day and catching the biggest trout I’ve ever landed on a fly rod. Pablo was so enjoyable to teach this old pilot some new tricks.
