Fly Fishing in Patagonia
Rio Simpson
Fishes like a classic Montana freestone with significant caddis and mayfly hatches. Browns and rainbows average 14 to 22 inches, with trout up to 30 inches on record.
Rio Ñirehuao
Perhaps the area's most famous fishery — a mid-sized freestone wading stream renowned for fantastic summer hopper fishing for wild brown trout, 12 to 24+ inches.
Rio Coyhaique
The lodge property has a mile of river frontage plus additional private access points to miles of easy wading and large quantities of small to mid-sized rainbow and brown trout. This river gets better every year and still fishes great when the weather turns inclement elsewhere.
Rio Huemules
This wide river has a sandy bottom allowing anglers to wade the middle and fish to large browns hiding in undercut banks. There are also many deep pools where big fish chase streamers.
Rio Emperador Guillermo
One of the jewels of the area, with many pools and riffles loaded with hungry trout that average 12- to 16-inches.
Rio Mañihuales
The Mañihuales has a little of everything, including a lot of big trout! It is most often floated but some good wade fishing is available on its very upper reaches. It has a healthy population of both brown and rainbow trout as well as a strong run of king salmon. The Mañihuales often surrenders fish in excess of 20-inches during an average day with the brown trout usually being the largest. This river has structure like no other and an incredible amount of prime holding spots, making it a favorite amongst local guides.
