Follow this blog and get up to date on your trip to Patagonia. We will provide an overview of travel info, equipment needs, flies and tying instructions, what's included and a little Chilean history and hospitality.

What could be better than leaving the winter climates and heading to the southern hemisphere for some trout fishing on some of the most pristine water anywhere?  Join me on a fishing adventure that you will remember for the rest of your life. Contact me for details and lets go catch some trout.

A beautiful setting and a river full of trout.

Once you make the decision to join our adventure we will provide you with information regarding flights to Santiago and Balmeceda. Your adventure begins at the Balmeceda airport where you will be greeted and taken care by the Picacho staff until you get back on the plain bound for home. The only thing you will need to do is relax and go with your guide to fish in some of the most beautiful backdrops in the world.

The lodge remote and is as nice as they come.  Staffed with a chef, house keeping and friendly guides that will become your friends as well. The lodge is situated on the Picacho river which is your gateway to one of the most diverse fishing opportunities in the world. You will travel by jet catarafts to lakes, rivers, streams, lagoons providing you with trout fishing and scenery that is sure to please.

Chilean Patagonia Adventure

We had a good group this time. All 0f them were first timers to Chile but good fisherman. I was excited to show them the wonders of Patagonia and the Picacho Lodge. It's not just about the fishing. It's about exploring and experiencing new cultures and traditions along with remote fishing opportunities.

The Picacho Lodge is a remote lodge that provides upscale lodging and services in a remote location that can only be reached by jet boat. There are no roads. You will probably fish the entire week and not see another fisherman. The lodge holds up to 6 guests. There will be two guests per guide. All guides speak english to some degree so communications is not an issue.

Below is the first post of our trip, but be sure and check back for our next posting.

This is just a taste, stop back for part 2 of our Chilean Adventure. As always if you have any questions feel free to give me a call. It's time to begin planning your trip to Chile. I don't have the dates yet, but it will be in February or the Chilean summer.

Until next time, big fish to you,
