This intimate, comfortable lodge has been carved out of some of the most inhospitable country imaginable, with nothing but rocky, windswept, sagebrush-dotted volcanic plains as far as the eye can see. The “meseta de la muerta” (little table of death) to the south and the occasional glimpse of Mount San Lorenzo to the northwest and not a tree in sight for miles. The land seems too rugged for anything to live. At least live comfortably. This is arguably, the finest trophy rainbow trout fishing on earth!
One might question the reasoning behind the expense of building such inviting accommodations in such desolate surroundings… until one has the chance to cast a line into nearby Jurassic Lake! This natural still-water with its 15-mile shoreline, ocean-sized swells and breathtakingly clear blue waters is a natural phenomenon, and until relatively recently, free of any trout. In the few short years since their introduction, the lake’s rainbows have quickly reached massive proportions, due largely to the lake’s staggering population of freshwater scuds. Trout in the 6-12 pound category are simply average, and fish in excess of 20 pounds are seen here on a fairly regular basis (seen, but only rarely landed!). And in addition to owning and having access to a majority of the lake’s shoreline, the lodge also has sole access to 8 miles of the lakes only tributary, the Barrancoso River, which also produces some enormous fish that make their way up from the lake. Harsh country, huge trout… and now, thanks to Estancia Laguna Verde Lodge, a comfortable place to call home during your stay.
