During your stay we will take advantage of the variety of waters available and fish as many different rivers as possible. Typically, guests will experience two or three different day floats plus two or three days of waded fishing in larger rivers, streams and spring creeks.

Brown and Rainbow trout were introduced to the waters of the Coyhaique region more than 60 years ago. The ideal conditions of the local waters flowing from high plateaus, temperate rainforests or glaciers of the Andes, have nurtured the development of unique, abundant and healthy populations of wild fish.

The waters of the Coyhaique area, with their prolific insect life, offer ample opportunities to experience the best in dry fly fishing. We emphasize waded sight fishing.

During a typical week, the Paloma and Simpson rivers also offer great opportunities for float & waded fishing. Smaller tributaries provide exciting alternatives for sight fishing, while the lakes and lagoons are great options for exciting half day fishing sessions when Caddis or Dragonflies are hatching.

Fish here have abundant variety of food from hatches, terrestrials, nymphs, crustaceans and minnows. The first thing anglers notice is the vitality and power of the fish.

In addition to our fly fishing program, guests will also have available a wide variety of non-angling activities such as horseback riding, hiking, scenic float trips, guided tours (by vehicle or horseback) to visit the Gauchos (Patagonia's cowboy) at work. We also have mountain bikes for exploring surrounding trails, tours to the Puerto Chacabuco Fjord; visiting the small village and local salmon farming operation, hikes within the temperate rain forest.
