Estancia San Pablo fly fishing Lodge

 

Estancia San Pablo

 

The estancia is owned by Walter Sibila, winemaker and expert fisherman, who has lived there with his family for two generations. Walter spent years studying wine making in Bordeaux before returning home to the farm to raise his young family.Together with his wife Carina, they will prepare home cooked meals with all produce either grown or raised on their farm, from prime beef, chicken and eggs to organic cherries, peaches and an array of vegetables.

 

The main draw here is the crystal clear Rio San Pablo, a fast moving stream that gushes over brown stones and through a long green sliver of valley. The river is jumping with trout - wild fighting rainbow which are small, super quick and hard to catch. They frustrate even the most experienced fishermen. Walter will give you a crash course in fishing the river San Pablo. Here the trout are no fools and must be approached in a completely different manner with a different fly and technique. They also require effort and speed.

A ONE DAY EXCURSION TO THE ESTANCIA

 

You will be collected at 8.00am in Mendoza after which we will drive south for two hours until we reach Tupungato in the beautiful Valle de Uco. Here you will experience the "rustic deluxe" ranch Estancia San Pablo nestled at the foothills of the Andes at an elevation of 2000m above sea level. You will be welcomed by Walter and Carina will cook you a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast and coffee before you set off for an exhilarating day fishing.

 

The day will be spent fly fishing in nearby mountain steams. You can follow the stream on horseback if you wish, accompanied by Walter Sibila and your wine host who both know the best fly fishing spots. Lunch is a riverside spectacular of fat trout, cooked in white wine sauce, accompanied by fresh salad, the finest meat and excellent wines. By early evening the river reveals itself as teeming with rainbow trout. When the sun sets you will return to the estancia around 7pm. Wehave a supper of homemade empanadas and coffee and return to Mendoza at 10pm.
