Atlantic Steelhead – Santa Cruz River | Argentina from Fly Fishing Nation on Vimeo.

This is not a Fly Fishing Nation Production, but we are truly fascinated by this very river. The Santa Crus is deeply rooted in FFN’s DNA for many various reasons. First of all, the place is breath-taking, the fishing is demanding and the pioneers of this sport are amazing people. Enough words from us, here some lines from the creators, Tres Amigos Outfitter:

The Santa Cruz River, located in the middle of the immeasurable plains of Patagonia offers some of the last untapped steelhead fishing on the planet!

Steelhead have often been credited as being one of -if not the- hardest fighting migratory fish and the specimens in Santa Cruz are no exception. Fish here can reach well over 20 lbs and will put on a great areal show really putting your gear to the test. Chasing these fish is a profound experience and the magnificence of the river and landscape is truly spectacular.
