LAKE STROBEL

A Geological Marvel and an Angler’s Dream

The lake’s origins are rooted in volcanic activity, leaving behind a landscape rich in basaltic rocks and volcanic soils, shaped over time by sedimentary processes. This combination of geological factors has formed an environment perfect for nurturing its renowned trout population. The lake’s crystal-clear waters are home to an abundance of freshwater shrimp (scuds), insect larvae, and minnows, providing a nutrient-rich food source that allows the trout to reach astonishing sizes.

Experience Unmatched Hospitality at Our Exclusive Estancia

Situated on the lake’s west bank, our private estancia offers discerning anglers an unparalleled fishing experience combined with first-class comfort and warm hospitality.
The heart of the estancia is a beautifully remodeled house, lovingly run by its owners, featuring three double rooms with en suite bathrooms. After an exciting day on the water, relax in style and enjoy the peace and serenity of the Patagonian wilderness.

Prime Location for the Best Fishing Action

Our estancia’s location on the west bank provides direct access to the lake’s most productive fishing grounds. Just five meters (15 feet) from the shore lies the veril—a drop- off where giant rainbow trout cruise the shallows. With the wind at your back, casting becomes effortless, letting you focus entirely on the thrill of sight-fishing for these extraordinary fish.

Endless Exploration Opportunities

creek. Each lagoon holds its own angling secrets, providing endless opportunities for exploration and adventure.
