* 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.
