PATAGONIA IS CALLING
A Bay Flats Original Heads South
Chris Martin doesn’t hand off hosting duties to just anyone – and this October, he’s not handing them off at all. He’s leading the trip himself.
JURASSIC LAKE: WHERE “BIG FISH STORY” ISN’T AN EXAGGERATION
PATAGONIA ARGENTINA
Ask any angler who’s fished Lago Strobel what surprised them most, and the answer is almost always the same: it wasn’t the size of the fish. It was how many of that size there were.
The Trip, In Short
Chris Martin is hosting a small group of Bay Flats anglers on a bucket-list trip to Jurassic Lake, Argentina, this October. Bay Flats Lodge and Jurassic Lake Lodge are both part of the Sage Experiences Outfitters family, so this isn’t a stretch outside what you already know – it’s the same standard, a different hemisphere.
Trip Details:
- Dates: October 22-31, 2026
- Location: Jurassic Lake Lodge, Argentina
- Availability: Only 4 spots remain

So What Makes This Lake So Different?
Most trout fisheries brag about their best fish. At Jurassic Lake, the best fish is just Tuesday. Rainbows in the 10-20 pound range aren’t the exception here – they’re the standard the lake is built around. The reason comes down to biology: Lago Strobel is loaded with freshwater scuds, and that steady diet of protein turns ordinary rainbows into something closer to river monsters. Add in tightly controlled access and light fishing pressure, and you get a fishery that produces double-digit days of trophy fish almost as a matter of routine.
A Lodge Built Around the Fishing, Not the Other Way Around
Jurassic Lake Lodge isn’t trying to be everything to everyone – it’s built for anglers, full stop. That means:
- Guides who’ve fished every inch of productive shoreline and know exactly where to put you
- Short boat rides to the water, so your day is fishing time, not travel time
- Real food and real rest waiting for you after a long day fighting fish
- A group of anglers around the dinner table who get why you’re grinning ear to ear
By the end of the week, you’ll understand why longtime guides still talk about this place like it’s their first trip.
Why Now?
Trips like this don’t linger on the calendar for long, and this one won’t either. If Jurassic Lake has been sitting on your list – the “someday” trip – October is the someday.
