Our fly fishing operation and Lodge is headquartered in Lago Frio, Chilean Patagonia, near the town of Coyhaique which is a jumping-off point to all the best fishing the region has to offer.
The incredible variety of world class fishing close to ChileTrout gives you the opportunity to craft your own adventure. Depending on your preferences, the conditions, and which body of water is fishing best, we will work with you on your ideal itinerary. We have many types of boats setups at our disposal to properly fish everything from the area’s larger lakes, to our meandering rivers – these include drift boats, whitewater rafts with fishing frames, motorized pontoon rafts and rowable zodiac style motorized boats.
We may need some assistance from you as we carry, portage or put in rafts in remote areas, sometimes launching rafts where there is no boat ramp – a true Patagonia experience. We also have great opportunities for walks and wade fishing if preferences and conditions align. You must be able to walk river banks, and through relatively fast water over rocks that are at times rough and slippery. Wading boots with good ankle support and without studded soles are required, felt soles are preferred not only for specific walk and wade days but also days where we will fish from the boat and occasionally get out to wade fish as well. An adventurous attitude and the right gear will help make for a fantastic trip.
We cannot wait to show you some of the most varied, pristine, productive and scenic trout fishing in the world!
