A HOOKFIRE FAVORITE

Fly Fishing

HookFire invites you to camp along the Rio Corcovado in the Rio Pico Region. A place where you can unplug and enjoy a camp that only caters up to 10 anglers. Enjoy solitude, comfort and a few of the finer amenities of home. Explore an abundance of lakes and streams without any distraction.

You don't need to change a thing. The variety and quality of fishing were matched only by the courtesy and hospitality of your entire team. We got mountain streams, spring creeks, drift boat fishing, lake fishing, headwaters, and tail-waters. We danced the Tango, ate gourmet meals, and drank wonderful Malbec wines. We caught more trophy trout than we could count, and received more great memories than we deserved. Truly, the trip of a lifetime.

How lucky are we to go exploring all the fabulous waters you all know, with the most caring, fun and thoughtful guides… and then to return to the warmth of El Encuentro, always like coming home!

After many visits, it always feels like home and family, and of course the fishing is amazing, the team make it special, and always a special memory. Muchas gracias!!

Second year and a wonderful experience. The fishing is wonderful but the staff is what makes this a special place!

H. Tamarin - USA

Throughout our trip, the food was delicious, the wine bottomless, and the lodges accommodating of every request. Beyond packing and unpacking our bags, we never had to lift a finger the entire trip. The most stress we encountered was trying to decide who would fish where, and with whom. There were no wrong choices, only better ones. It was, we all agreed, the trip of a lifetime.
