The Traful river starts off Lake Traful, with well-defined pools and runs with the typical characteristics of a Scottish salmon river, then its turns into a freestone with runs and some great deep pools and by the end of the property it turns into a heavy torrent river with great pocket water.

The fishing can be really challenging at times, even for the experienced angler. Sight fishing and precise casting are required to lure these fish in the crystal-clear water.

It is one of the clearest rivers in Patagonia and world famous because of the big fish that lurk in its pools and runs. This river can hold brown trout, rainbow trout and it is one of the only rivers in Argentina that has landlocked salmon (Salmo Salar Sebago).
