3 Laguna Larga (float) La Larga is a high elevation Lake that brown trout specifically chose as home, a place where every bay recreates perfect environments for brown, from thick reeds, fallen logs or deep undercuts.
4 Rio Grande(float) Not the Rio Grande in colorado, or the one in Tierra del Fuego, just like those two it’s name stands out for it’s size, and maybe for the trout that habit those waters. The Rio Grande waters flow peacefully through different curves of the Andes before crossing to Chile
