South American Trout Experience
February 10 to 20, 2027
Hosted Fly Fishing in Chile & Argentina 
​

   Join us for an unforgettable fly fishing adventure in Patagonia, where the rugged beauty of Chile and Argentina meets world-class trout fishing. This hosted experience is your gateway to exploring some of the most pristine and productive waters on the planet, home to wild brown, rainbow, and brook trout in breathtaking natural settings.

Trout Fishing in Chile
  In southern Chile, anglers will discover an untouched wilderness of glacial lakes, emerald rivers, and dramatic fjords. The regions of Coyhaique, Aysén, and Tierra del Fuego offer endless opportunities to wade, float, and explore remote waters teeming with trout. You’ll fish legendary rivers like the Baker, Futaleufú, and Simpson, where trophy trout thrive in crystal-clear currents against a backdrop of soaring peaks and ancient forests.

Trout Fishing in Argentina
  Across the border in Argentina’s Esquel region, the adventure continues. Nestled in the heart of Patagonia, Esquel is surrounded by spring creeks, rivers, and lakes that produce some of South America’s finest trout fishing. Waters like the Rio Corcovado, known for its sea-run brown trout, and the iconic Futaleufú (Rio Grande) offer exciting chances to land large, hard-fighting fish.
​
  The nearby Lago Rosario, Lago Rivadavia, and the breathtaking Los Alerces National Park round out the experience, delivering stunning scenery and diverse fishing, from dry fly to streamer, stillwater to fast-moving freestone.

Season & Style
  The fishing season runs November through May, with December to March offering peak conditions. Whether you prefer stalking fish in small streams, drifting big water, or casting from shore into alpine lakes, you’ll find the variety and quality of fishing unmatched.

Beyond the Rod
This hosted trip is about more than just fishing. You’ll enjoy:
  • Upscale lodges with gourmet cuisine and local wines
  • Authentic cultural experiences in Patagonia’s vibrant communities
  • Seamless logistics and expert hosting every step of the way

Join the Adventure
  Whether you're chasing trout through remote valleys or soaking in the beauty of the Andes between casts, this is a fly fishing journey like no other.

Wild trout. Wild rivers. One unforgettable hosted adventure.

These waters hold healthy populations of wild brown and rainbow trout that see remarkably light pressure, allowing for technical fishing, aggressive takes, and memorable days on the water.
​

  What makes this region truly special is the variety, each day presents a new challenge and a new style of fishing. Combined with warm hospitality, exceptional lodging, and seamless travel between Chile and Argentina, this trip delivers a well-rounded Patagonian experience that rewards both seasoned anglers and those looking to broaden their skills in one of the world’s great fly fishing destinations.
