It is hard to imagine a more beautiful place on the planet for the trout angler. The Chliean Andes offer up several diverse and remote regions to choose from with differing landscapes, unpressured rivers, lakes, creeks and streams. The diversity in species is equally striking with browns, rainbows, brook trout, pacific salmon and of course sea-run brown trout in Tierra del Fuego. Chilean Patagonia also offers a rich cultural experience coupled with fantastic wines and cuisine. It is the favorite for the traveling angler searching for a mellow private estancia as well as the more intrepid adventurer. Our catalog of Chilean options checks all the boxes.
La Posada de los Farios
If you are a serious angler who prefers a quiet lodge setting with a more “homey” atmosphere and lots of private fishing opportunity, this is the destination for you. With a maximum of six guests, La Posada is for small groups that are interested in an intimate and quiet experience without any social pressure at the lodge – or pressure from other anglers on the water.
El Saltamontes
El Saltamontes is perfect for the angler looking for private, unpressured, and easily accessible terrestrial fishing for brown trout and a luxurious lodging program. Anglers of all skill levels will appreciate the walk and wade fishing on smaller water, the cooperative hopper fishing, and a truly sincere, old school working ranch in the heart of Patagonia. Saltamontes is a must do for couples, and any non-anglers interested in horseback riding will be blown away by their equestrian program.
Cinco Rios
Cinco Rios Lodge has access to miles of private rivers and streams throughout the region, with many only fished by our guests, a variety of public waters that include the Simpson, Paloma, Mañihuales and Aysen Rivers as well as several lakes. Over the course of a week fishing at Cinco Rios, anglers typically fish two days via a jet-boat on the Azul and Paloma, two days float-fishing on the Simpson or Mañihuales, and two days walking-and-wading small creeks or rivers.
Estancia del Zorro
Estancia del Zorro is a massive 15,000 acre ranch near the border between Chile and Argentina. The property encompasses miles of private spring creeks with a number of nearby rivers and lakes for anglers to fish. Set on the expansive arid Pampas landscape, anglers enjoy personalized, first-rate service, and discover the cultural experience of a traditional Chilean estancia.
Patagonian Basecamp
Patagonian Basecamp is the epitome of remoteness on the Rio Palena in a hidden corner of the Aysen region of Chile. Guests here can access an amazing array of fisheries; it would take, literally, a month of solid exploration and fishing to see all of the options. Patagonian BaseCamp handles a maximum of 12 guests in private accommodations. The two-story facility is warm and inviting, with spacious, well-appointed rooms overlooking the river.
Magallanes Fly Fishing
Magallanes Fly Fishing is a completely unique operation in Chilean Tierra del Fuego. They offer a one of a kind fishing program visiting lesser known rivers, creeks and lakes targeting several species including brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, king salmon and sea run browns. Magallanes operates a helicopter based program in arguably the most beautiful countryside imaginable.
