Fishing Destinations



* Local Rivers:

Local rivers are well suited for both wading and floating and offer great dryfly, streamer, and nymph fishing. Literally hundreds of miles of trout filled water is within an easy drive from the lodge. With so many options to choose from we’re able to create customized itineraries built around your schedule, the best available angling, and your interests and angling abilities. We fish some of the most famous rivers in Patagonia Chile.

We offer several float days during your stay. Fish in the 12-22inch rage are common. Occasionally we see fish over 6 pounds.
There are countless other springs and streams in the area that are loaded with wild trout. It is not uncommon to wade all day without seeing other anglers.
Our smaller fisheries can provide large numbers of trout from 10-18inches.

* Local Lakes:
Castor
Pollux
Frío
Monreal
Elizalde etc...
The Coyhaique area is home to some of the best lake fishing in the world! Not always a favorite among anglers, lake fishing can be tough. Chilean still waters will change your mind. The local still waters rage in all sizes. Some provide unbelievable dry fly fishing. They also hold trout of all sizes. Dedicated anglers have a chance to take fish over 10 pounds.

Most fishing destinations are within an hour. Other locations are more remote and travel time can be a couple hours from the lodge.

Recommended Gear


* Rods & Lines
I recommend that you bring two or three rods. The area has a large variety of fisheries.
3-4wt. For smaller streams and rivers.
5-6wt. For medium rivers and float trips.
7-8wt. For larger rivers and lakes.
The lighter rods should be equipped with dry lines. A sink tip or shooting head of some kind is recommended for your heavier rods. 150 or 200gr. shooting head is perfect for streamer fishing in the local rivers and lakes.

* Wading Gear
Water proof wading jacket.
Light weight waders with gravel guards.
Sturdy wading boots.
Wading staff (optional)
Wading belt
Dry bag or backpack (daily use)
Vest or waist pack
If your wading boots have cleats, we prefer that you have interchangeable soles or an extra pair or light weight boots for float days. This will limit damage to rafts and drift boats.

* Clothing
The weather in Patagonia is very unpredictable. A full rage of clothes is recommended. Temperatures can be mid. 80s one day and low 40s the next.
The layer system works best.
Fleece jacket and pants. (under waders)
Mid. weight or silk long underwear
Quick dry pants and long sleeve shirts (hot days)
Casual wear for travel and the nights we eat in town.
Laundry service can be provided.

* Little Things
The sun in Chile is very hash. Protection is a must!
Polarized glasses
