About Río Mendoza

As a river in Mendoza, Argentina, Río Mendoza fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Río Mendoza pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Common carp

    Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

  • For Brown trout

    When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

  • For Rainbow trout

    Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
