Chilean Patagonia has an unparalleled variety of trout fishing opportunities to offer. Ever since we began plans for our return to ChileTrout Lodge in the Aysén region there were a few spots we knew we had to get back to and some new water we wanted to explore.
Pancho had told us leading up to this trip that we would be hitting some of his favorite “zero or hero” lakes. Low chances of a lot of takes, but if you get one, odds are it will be a very good fish. In order to prepare for this, since he knew how excitable we both can be about catching fish, we made sure to get some numbers in the net on a small stream with dries and hit a few lakes just to scratch the itch.
