Rivers Maullin, Puelo, Rahue, and Pilmaiquen also flow from huge lakes at the base of the Andes, each with its own particular character and beauty. A great advantage here is that the lakes are buffers when it rains and the rivers remain clear and in good condition no matter the weather. The steady flow also ensures a stable and healthy environment for trout and their food, allowing them to to proliferate. Trout thrive and grow heavy on the abundant pancora crayfish, puye minnows, salmon fry, insects, and, of course, smaller trout.
