Fly fishing in the Picheuta Creek: Discover the Andes

Picheuta Creek

Fishing on this river is exiting because some people have caught huge brown trouts. The reason for this size is because the creek ends in the Mendoza River, so with a percentage of luck we can have the opportunity of catching a real trophy.
