BARILOCHE – VILLA LA ANGOSTURA - Guides

Raul Cuello

Raul was born in the Rio Negro Valley, a fruit producing region in Patagonia. After a hint with apples and pears, he decided to move West with the determination to make a living out of his fly fishing passion. He lived in Bariloche for a few years before establishing himself in Villa Angostura, a quaint mountain town strategically located in the Northwest shore of Nahuel Huapi Lake. From there, convenient access to both still water and river fly fishing is ensured.

Soon Raul became an accomplished angler, and a registered fishing Guide both in the National Park territory, as well as in the adjacent Neuquen Province waters. He is very well experienced in cruising and fishing the remote corners of Nahuel Huapi Lake and surrounding lakes such as Correntoso , Traful, Espejo and Falkner. Hector also organizes fly fishing trips to Limay , Traful, Caleufu, Carrileufu and Filo Hua Hum Rivers- both floating in grade one zones, as well as wading.

Raul has earned a reputation not only as a professional fly fishing guide, but also as a catering expert; during his full day outings his worldwide customers enjoy specially prepared dishes including smoked deer and salmon and well chosen Patagonian wines.

Hector Garaygorta

Hector was born and raised in Bariloche, the traditional and best known international tourist destination in Patagonia. Very soon he developed a passion for sailing the Nahuel Huapi waters, the largest and most demanding lake in the region. For over twenty years he has been a Professional Boat Captain and owns a 30 foot cruiser fully equipped to navigate the sometimes rough waters of Nahuel Huapi. It comes without saying that Hector knows each and every corner of his favourite Lake.

Besides, Hector is an accomplished angler and professional fishing guide. His fly fishing outings have its hub in Bariloche, and encompass Nahuel Huapi, Fonck, Roca and Mascardi Lakes. When it comes to fly fishing rivers, Hector organizes grade one fly fishing rafting in Limay and wading other neighbouring rivers such as Pichi Leufu.

Hector enjoys a well established and loyal customer base with customers coming from Europe, North America and South America.
