A HOOKFIRE EXCLUSIVE

Triple Crown South

This program is for the ultimate outdoorsman that looks for beauty, vast landscapes, and an authentic adventure that only a handful of guests can experience each year. HookFire's outfitting success in the wing shooting and fly fishing world has cultivated an exclusive partnership with El Encuentro Lodge. A multi generational family that pioneered the fly fishing sport in central Patagonia. Hunters enjoy working the land over well trained Labrador Retrievers, English Pointers, German Shorthairs, English Springers and Cocker Spaniels.

The HookFire and El Encuentro Lodge team in Esquel exceeded all of my high pre-trip expectations! Duck hunters saw hundreds of flying ducks during every morning and afternoon hunt from blinds over decoys using an outstanding well-trained retriever. The big draw of your program for me was the opportunity to shoot the beautiful, wild, fast-flying California Valley Quail in the remote and raw Patagonian landscape.

Enjoyed every minute of our stay. There aren’t enough words for the fun, friendship and adventure. Everyone was so kind and helpful.

Patagonia is a beautiful region of the world and we couldn’t have asked for a better setup to experience it. World-class hunting and fishing, and, of course people. Thank you!

trip indeed!

Just in from first duck hunt (hadn't seen that many pintails since the duck days in SC in the 50s!!!). This is an incredible place, and the staff and food here are great.
