Any of the regions we recommend in this trip collection qualifies as the best place to fly fish in Chilean Patagonia. We couldn’t pick one, so we gave you the ones we’ve considered the best over our years of fly fishing in Chilean Patagonia. For the adventurous, check out Orvis Week at the River of Dreams Base Camp, and for those who want a more luxurious experience, we suggest Orvis Week at Green Baker Lodge, Chimalfe Patagonia Lodge, or Magic Waters.
Yes, you can fly directly to Chilean Patagonia via either Santiago or Punta Arenas, which are popular jumping-off points. Our trips also land in Balmaceda airport, where you can be picked up by lodge staff and driven to your destination.
The best time of year to fly fish in Chilean Patagonia depends on the type of fly fishing you want to do. October and November are best for streamers, but December and January are best for nymphing and swinging dry flies. February and March, the months of midsummer in Chilean Patagonia, are considered the best time of year to fish with dry flies.
On a Chile fly fishing trip in Patagonia, the rivers run cold, trout grow big, and every day brings new adventures you’ll talk about for years. Whether you’re floating through mountain valleys on your fishing raft or casting dries on a turquoise lake, you'll fish with Orvis-endorsed expert guides and stay at lodges that offer what anglers want most. At Magic Waters Lodge near Coyhaique, you’ll wade, float, and sight-fish for wild browns and rainbows—and maybe hook into a king or coho salmon. After a long day on the water, gather at the lodge and sit down to hearty meals rooted in the region’s ranching and seafood traditions. Farther south, Chimalfe Patagonia Lodge puts you close to rivers and lakes known for big browns and rainbows. Fish all day, then unwind with a glass of Chilean red and views over the headwaters of the Yelcho River. For anglers chasing solitude and sweeping views, Remota Patagonia Lodge sits near Torres del Paine National Park, above the Esperanza Fjord. It works well for mixed groups, with great fishing and optional alternative activities such as hikes, rides, and birding woven into the experience. Wherever you go, these trips pair wild water with places that feel like home when the day’s done.
