Guiding Fly Fishing Patagonia - Patagonia Fly Fishing

Coyhaique - Chile

Chilean Patagonia is one of the safest, most friendly, yet isolated and hauntingly beautiful regions of the world. And Coyhaique, the capital town of the Chilean Patagonia region, is easily reachable. After only a 3 hour flight south from Santiago to the Balmaceda airport, you can be here in our Patagonian paradise.

Isolated from the capital and main population centers of Chile, Coyhaique boasts all the comforts of a fair sized city.

There are excellent places to stay, restaurants, grocery stores, and good medical facilities.

The scenery is splendid. We are surrounded by the Southern Andes, and the untainted rivers and lakes that nourish this vast wilderness.


 

Chile and specially the Coyhaique area offer an incredible variety of fly fishing waters and landscapes, from small spring creeks in the dry pampas to big rivers in the temperate rain forests. And all of this within 50 miles of Coyhaique. Of course this also provides a great diversity in fishing, from tiny dry flies to Chernobyles and Hoppers: From big streamers to small nymphs.

Fishing for resident Rainbows and Browns are our main targets, and though we do not focus on Salmon fishing you might incidentally hook a big Silver or a King salmon.

Coyhaique is growing fast as a fishing destination and there are now many places to stay. You can choose between fancy lodges, small attractive hotels, "bed and breakfasts", and comfortable cabins.


We don't include accommodation in our Daily Fishing Rates but we are happy to make the reservations for you as a complimentary service - just let us know what you are looking for in terms of accommodation and price range and we will give you some suggestions. Our commitment is to give you the best trip possible for your budget.

Chile fly fishing season goes from the second Friday in October to the first Sunday in May. I know you want me to tell you which is the best time to come and my answer to that is simple.

�There is always good water to fly fish�.

October/November. Glaciers are not melting yet, so it�s a great period to fish glaciers fed rivers, when they run small and clear. Some good examples are the Rios Baker, Blanco and Paloma. Spring creeks are also at their best, with good water flow and fish that haven�t seen an imitation in months.

December/January. A good opportunity to fish the outflows of Lagos Elizalde and Azul and some great spots that I rather not mention here. The Rios Simpson, Manihuales, Aysen, Nirehuao and Huemules start to get in shape.

February/March. Mayfly hatches on the Simpson and Lago Frio, grasshoppers at the Nirehuao and Huemules and evening caddis hatches on Lago Pollux. It is the best period to fish with dry flies.

April/May. The Fall is already here. Days are shorter and mornings cooler. Lenga trees are turning red while the mountain peaks turn white. It�s the most beautiful time of the year, the rivers are very small and there are mayfly hatches all day long.
