SAN HUBERTO LODGE

Neuquén · Argentina

The Lodge

Malleo River

San Huberto Lodge is an amazing farm-to-table experience combined with some of the best walk-and-wade fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout in northern Patagonia.

Estancia San Huberto is owned by the Olsen family, and operated as a 25,000 acre farm-to-table experience. Their gardens are extensive, and their free-range beef and lamb are absolutely incredible, pairing perfectly with a local Argentine Malbec. Guests here often return just for the food!

Fishing guests staying at San Huberto Lodge enjoy private access to 25 miles of the famous Malleo River. The Malleo is mostly spring-fed, with crystal clear waters perfect for sight fishing, reliable hatches, and dry fly fishing opportunities. And it is the perfect size for walk-and-wade fishing.

Jorge Trucco helped get catch-and-release legislation on the Malleo back in 1985. The river has now been protected for decades. The result is some of the highest populations of trout anywhere in Patagonia. With so much great water – and so many trout – San Huberto is ideal for anglers of all skill levels.

San Huberto was named after “Saint Hubert”, the patron saint of hunters, and began as a hunting lodge around the mid 20th Century. The lodge was completely renovated in 1999, is updated (and upgraded) annually, and is now exclusively operated for fly fishing. San Huberto features 10 guest rooms, and can accommodate up to 16 guests, with a maximum of 12 anglers. It’s a great destination for non-anglers. Guests here enjoy plenty of room to relax. A favorite “hang-out” is the upstairs fireplace, perfect for evening pisco-sours and stories of rising trout from the day’s fishing.
