The Malleo River is loved by fly fishermen for its subtle variations. It is a formidable river that offers excellent fishing. The accessibility, splendor of the countryside and the quantities of trout deservedly has gained this river international recognition and is among the best trout rivers in the world.

It is a medium sized river, extremely productive and begins its journey of approximately 40 miles flowing out of Lake Tromen and into the Alumine River .

For a better understanding of this river it is best to divide the river into three sections each different from the other:

> 1. The upper Malleo River (from the mouth of Lake Tromen until the international bridge at Tromen Pass )

> 2. The middle Malleo River (from international bridge at Tromen Pass to the bridge that crosses the MalleoRiver where the road goes to the town of Alumine

> 3.   The lower Malleo River (from the bridge that crosses the Malleo River where the road goes to the town of Alumine to the outlet of the Malleo River which flows into the Alumine River)

Recommended Equipment

Fly Fishing

At the start of the season (November and December) with high waters the ideal fly rod is a 4 or 5 weight that is 8 ½ to 9 feet with a floating line using nymphs, emergers and dry flies. Use a Full Sinking, Wet Tip or Wet Cell II for streamer use. During this time it is also recommended to try the areas close to Lake Tromen or the Alumine River with lines such as a Tenny 130 and big streamers with the possibility of catching trout up to 3 Kgs.

As the water level lowers starting in January the ideal rods range in size from 1 weight to 3 weight that are 6 ½ to 8 feet long, a floating line, leaders between 9 and 15 feet and tippets between 4X and 5X. With this equipment the use of dry flies and emergers guarantees the most enjoyment and challenge.
