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,

Chilean Patagonia Destination Part 1

John Miller and I went to Chile/Patagonia to experience first hand what we've been hearing about for years. That is that Chile is one of the most pristine fishing destinations for large rainbows and browns on the planet. Well I can honestly say that Chile is without question one of God's gifts to mankind. We found a lot more than just excellent fishing. Yes we caught a lot of huge trout that have not been caught before, but we also found solitude and pristine beauty. On top of that we found a worry free well organized trip that left us totally carefree. Our biggest concern was should we try dry, nymph or streamers and even that was answered by our more than qualified guides.
We experienced the hospitality of two lodges. The Picacho Lodge and the Coyhaique River Lodge. We were treated like family. The Picacho Lodge (featured in this article) is a remote destination that will exceed your expectations in all categories.

The Picacho Lodge offers more water than you can fish in a month. You may not fish the same water twice. There are marshes, lagoons, lakes, rivers and tributaries, all accessible from the Lodge via small Jet boat. Since there are no roads, the jet boat is the only means of transportation along with an occasional hike to some of the high elevation lakes, or lagoons if you desire.

With Beauty like this it was hard to focus on Fishing

This place is very hard to describe because it's not just about catching large fish. It's about the entire experience. People, culture, cuisine, comfort, solitude, beauty and new friendships. This was a first rate experience.
