Chile is one of South America’s premier fly fishing destinations, offering an extraordinary diversity of rivers, lakes and wilderness landscapes stretching from the temperate forests of the Lake District to the remote fjords and mountains of Patagonia. Fed by snowmelt from the Andes, Chile’s crystal-clear rivers provide ideal conditions for wild trout, while its dramatic scenery and uncrowded fisheries make it a favourite among travelling fly anglers. There is also plenty for the non-fisher in Chile, with among other activities, superb hiking and riding available.
The country’s long, narrow geography creates a remarkable variety of fishing opportunities. Anglers can spend one day casting dry flies on intimate spring creeks and the next drifting broad freestone rivers or exploring secluded mountain lakes.
Chile’s reputation is built on the quality and diversity of its trout fishing. The rivers of Patagonia and the Lake District are renowned for healthy populations of wild fish, varied insect life and a wide range of fishing techniques, from delicate dry fly presentations to streamer fishing for larger trout.
The country’s fisheries remain remarkably uncrowded, allowing anglers to enjoy miles of productive water in peaceful surroundings. Float trips on freestone rivers, sight fishing to cruising trout and fishing remote backcountry streams are all part of the Chilean experience, while many itineraries can be combined with neighbouring Argentina to create the ultimate Patagonian fly fishing adventure.
