Fishing in this area is both rewarding
and satisfying and we offer individually planned trips that will be dictated by your preferences, water conditions and weather
patterns. We present to you a variety of options to choose from: float fishing, bank and wading combinations, and of course
the bocas for those who prefer to patiently pursue the larger fish.
The focus is on floating
the freestone rivers, affording plenty of opportunities to disembark and wade gravel bars and sandbanks. Frequent stops allow
the fisherman to thoroughly work compelling pools, runs, and riffles from strategic positions that offer you the advantage.
The variety of resources in the area allow broad flexibility in designing a rewarding program in response to whatever conditions
may prevail on any given day.
The principal food source of Browns and Rainbows in southern Chile
commonly is a small freshwater crayfish called a pancora. In imitating the pancora the most successful flies are lightly weighted
crayfish imitations tied on #4 - 8 hooks. Next in preference would be sparsely tied black, or olive or brown wooly buggers.
Large stonefly and caddis nymphs can also be effective.
For a change of pace, late evening
hatches of #10 -12 caddis and/or pale mayflies can be common in some areas yielding impressive dry fly action.
*We
recommend that you bring insect repellent. Even in paradise there can be bugs. Generally insect activity is minimal and not
a nuisance.
