More about Río Grande

The Río Grande is a freestone river in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Argentina's Instituto Nacional del Agua (INA) runs a Red Hidrológica Nacional gauge on it, station Río Grande en La Gotera. This page covers the Río Grande of Tierra del Fuego, from the Chilean border to the Atlantic at the town of Río Grande. Also called Río Grande de Tierra del Fuego and Rio Grande Tierra del Fuego.

Where to fish

About this

Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish. Most waters here need a rod licence or permit and often a beat booking or club ticket; the listing pages under Regulations say which.

Fish these in the US

About this

Matched on the fish the agencies list for both waters first, then the same water type, an official designation or flagship listing on both, and a similar mapped size where USGS hydrography covers both.

At most two waters per country. A shared fish is a listing, not a promise: presence varies by reach and season.
