The newest of the Río Grande lodges, Toon Ken caters to only six anglers on the middle and upper reaches of the Río Grande, where traditional gear and floating lines are the rule. The lodge has private access to both banks of the Rio Grande. The river offers easy wading on a fine gravel bottom.

The lodge is ideally sited on a south bluff over the Río Grande, broad windows allow anglers, a fine Argentine red wine in hand, to see sea trout roll and show as they make their way upriver. Modern conveniences assure comfort and a fine staff see to every detail. When not watching fish, drift a dry fly over sea-run trout that average better than 12 pounds, or find the Southern Cross in a sea of stars each night.

The transfer from the airport to the lodge by four wheel drive takes 2 hours.

Guests fish approx. 9 hours of fishing a day. Lunch is taken at the lodge and its followed during the early season by a siesta. The afternoon session starts later during the months of Dec and Jan to capitalise on the magical dusk fishing hours. Toon Ken is a strictly catch and release fishery. Guides are equipped with nets and will assist guests in weighing and releasing fish without damaging them.
