Francis & Co. and Gustavo and Ronnie Olsen of Safaris Outfitters, provides you the best way to take advantage of this excellent fly fishing destination.

The Argentine season begins in mid-November and ends in April. This North American "reverse-season" provides summertime hatches and temperatures, making a welcome winter reprieve for the visiting trout fisher. Unparalleled dry fly fishing is common this time of year.

In today's busy world C. Francis & Co. realizes how crucial a successful angling holiday can be. Our commitment to handling every last detail is what sets us apart. We welcome the opportunity to show you the finest fly fishing Argentina has to offer.

Hosteria San Huberto - The Malleo River

Situated on the banks of the Malleo River this is one of the best dry fly fishing lodges in the world. Between the Malleo River and Huaca Mamuil spring creek, San Huberto enjoys exclusive access to over 25 miles of angling. Safaris Outfitters and their capable staff of fly fishing professionals will provide guiding services on this truly remarkable fishery. Your hosts during your week-long stay at San Huberto Lodge will be Ronnie and Gustavo's parents Carlos and Carmen Olsen. This property has been in the Olsen family for over three generations, and has been strictly managed for angling for many years. In short, your outfitters and hosts have been born and raised on this property.

The lodge is spotless and the staff deft and unobtrusive. While San Huberto maintains a vague European feel, all rooms have two double beds with a private bath. Meals are served with an option of several different entrees and include wine. Drinks before dinner are also included and are served overlooking the main dinning room.

Trout species available are rainbows and browns averaging around 16 inches in length. A visiting angler can also expect several opportunities to cast over trout in the 20 - 21 inch class during a week's stay. On average over the years, a competent angler can reasonably expect chances at 15 to 30 trout per rod day. Hatches of caddis and medium-sized mayflies normally start around 9:00 in the morning and end at 6:00 in the evening. Later in the season prolific midge and small mayfly hatches are present, and while they can present technical fishing, this is some of the finest sport available with a fly rod. Nymphing and streamer fishing are also common during this time. top
