Chile

If you've never experienced the breathtaking beauty of Chilean Patagonia, you're in for a treat. Nestled among towering mountains and pristine rivers, the charming town of Coyhaique is a renowned destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Its central location provides access to an incredible variety of fly-fishing opportunities, allowing us to tailor each day's adventure to the group's interests. Whether you prefer floating productive rivers, walk-wading streams and creeks, or chasing trophy trout in nearby lakes, we'll work closely with our local guide team to match your preferences with the best fishing options available each day.

Our home base just outside Coyhaique puts us within easy reach of several outstanding fisheries, including the Simpson, Manihuales, Paloma, and Aysén Rivers. These waters are known for healthy populations of brown and rainbow trout, with fish commonly averaging 16–20 inches. Depending on conditions and angler preference, opportunities include dry-fly fishing, nymphing, and streamer fishing. Each evening we'll review weather forecasts, current fishing reports, and the group's interests to create the best plan for the following day.

For anglers who enjoy exploring on foot, there are walk-wade opportunities throughout the region. From larger rivers to mountain creeks, options range from easy-access waters to more technical streams requiring a bit of hiking and adventure. For those seeking a truly memorable catch, several nearby lakes offer excellent opportunities to target the large trout that have made Patagonia famous.
