Jack first became interested in Chile when he learned the McCloud River Rainbow was their first Rainbow to be transported in the southern hemisphere in the late 1800's. Wanting to offer fellow anglers a package that was affordable yet encompassed a true value by "touring people to many rivers and seeing not just part but many locations in the Patagonia. The rivers we fish offer some of the best fly fishing for trophy trout known in the world".

Imagine yourself fly fishing your favorite rivers in the 1800's and you can imagine yourself alone with your guide somewhere out in Patagonia. Unbelievable dry fly action awaits you in the Andes mountain range with scenic beauty that one could only dream about until experienced.

Fishing the Rio Simpson

The Rio Simpson yields some amazing catches.

 

We offer drifting down the Rio Simpson. You can expect 10 to 40 fishing days on both drys and nymphs, you'll be mainly catching Browns and McCloud River Rainbows average 2 to 8 pounds. Your lodging is located on the Rio Simpson and puts you only minutes from launch. The area is green and lush.

Beautiful and isolated, the Rio Paloma
We will also visit the Rio Paloma, royal humpys do the trick here, don't go too small 6's & 8's work best! This river is located way out in one of the most remote areas I've ever been to, and offers world class angling.

---



The Rio Nirequao
The Rio Nirequao, probably the world's best Hopper fishery, offers 30 plus days for Browns and is Chile's first catch and release river as of two years ago. This is totally different terrain being in a high desert region. It reminds me of parts of Montana.

---



Huge Browns await you!
Coyhaique Alto is another high desert location we travel to, but this is a small caulk stream that offers Browns that range from 13 to 18 inches all on the surface.

Chilean Guide Toilene with nice Brown
Last year, our guides discovered several rivers up the Chilean coast that offer fantastic fly fishing for Sea-run Browns and Steelhead, as well as Rainbows and Salmon. You will have the time of your life drifting and fishing these remote rivers with the most talented guides in the area.

• I wrote the section on Fly Fishing Chile and Argentina in Fodor's Travel Books. "After 16 years of outfitting Chile and Argentina, I am proud to share with you some of my finest hours on the waters of the Patagonia as illustrated in this Fodor's book. I hope you enjoy reading then experiencing fly fishing's final frontier in two countries completely unique to one another, yet attached at the hip by the world's largest natural border. I listed all the best rivers, lodges and guides in Argentina and Chile, as well as information on choosing an area, the right times to travel to each region and many other helpful tips and secrets I've learned over the years. If you're going to Chile or Argentina for any reason. I highly suggest having this book in your pack." Many Rivers to You, Jack Trout
