Rio Manso Lodge

FreshwaterRío Manso, south of Bariloche — Lago Fonck and nearby lakes

Rio Manso Lodge has nine rooms on the Río Manso south of Bariloche, with private access to stretches of the river and to nearby lakes such as Lago Fonck, and Orvis endorses it. Anglers go out in pairs, floating the river in NRS rafts or fishing the lakes from skiffs, and wade more as the water drops, for brown, rainbow and brook trout. The same operator runs El Atravesado Lodge near Esquel as well as river camps.
