TROUT FISHING IN USHUAIA, TIERRA DEL FUEGO

Tierra del Fuego National Park is an excellent attraction for sport fishing, not only for the quantity and variety of the trouts that live in its rivers, but also for their big size.

In Tierra del Fuego, we can find the following species:

Stream trout: Comes from the Eastern area of the United States, and prefers cold and transparent water. Her back is olive green with whitish and red spots and her belly is pinkish white. Their meat is pink that is why they are called "salmon trout".

Rainbow trout: Also comes from the United States, has very attractive colours and also a red sash at both sides. The tail is spotted. The back and sides can be either greyish, green or blue with darker spots, and the belly is silvery white. It is very much appreciated among sportsmen. It is a good fighter, strong and different sizes.

Brown trout: These come from Europe, It is a very common specie, very wild and aggressive. Their colour changes depending on the place where they live. Usually their back is dark, brown or green, lighter coloured at the sides with yellow belly. The rest of their body has black and red spots.

Lacked Salmon: It is silvery, with a back and head somewhat blue, black spots at the sides, dark fins and colour creamed jaw and belly. Generally, fishing season spreads from the end of October until beginning of April of following year (with some changes), although there are special fishing areas in which the beginning and ending of the season are set each time.
