The Fishing- XI Region, Chile
In the Aysen Region, there are countless rivers and lakes of diverse dimensions and qualities. This offers the angler an un-paralleled variety of fishing options. Plus, our spirit of adventure constantly drives us to discover new fishing locales, giving us the opportunity to access places where very few people have visited. Our geographic area of operations is vast and it’s multiple resources allow us to offer fly fishing tours anywhere from the Rio Nirehuao in the North to the Baker River in the South.
Patagonia is famous for it’s Brown Trout fishing. So much so, it is often referred to as the “Brown Trout Capital of the World”. You will also encounter some rainbow trout as well.
The focus in the region is Dry Fly Fishing! Some of the best to be had on the planet as a matter of fact! We throw tons of terrestrial type flies with foam and rubber-legged patterns being the standard fare. In recent years, the streamer fishing has been catching on and we catch some enourmous fish on these big flies. All-in-all, you would be hard-pressed to find better trout fishing anywhere on planet earth!!!
A typical week would be as follows:
- 2 days walk-and-wade- smaller/spring creeks
- 2 days float trips- larger rivers
- 1 day lake trip
- 1 day you decide
As stated, we want to work with you to put together a fishing experience that matches your needs and wants. If you don’t like boats….we walk all week. If you can’t get around so well, we float! We take great pride in putting together a custom week for you and your group, a service that other lodges and outfitters simply do not offer.
You need to have some basic fly fishing gear and some flies. Bring along a 5 and a 6wt rod with floating lines, maybe a sinking line if you are into streamers. A handful of 2X-4X leaders and trippet…throw in your waders and boots and you are all set. A detailed equipment listing and fly recommendation will be sent upon reserving your week although if any questions, don’t hesitate to call.
We don’t want to be the biggest…..just the best!” – Nico Gonzalez
