Grey Fox Outdoor utilizes the “Simple Patagonia Hotel,” which is located just outside of the town of Puerto Natales overlooking the sea. The boutique hotel was designed to highlight the wondrous landscape surrounding it. The architecture is simple, dominated by large spaces and panoramic windows, and complemented by the tones of the native woods used throughout the building. Each room has two beds and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Meals are served in the restaurant, which offers homemade, traditional local cuisine. The lodge also has a bar and multiple lounge areas for guests to relax. The front desk is open 24 hours a day. Grey Fox Outdoor can accommodate eight guests per week.
Food and Beverages
Breakfast is served buffet-style in the hotel's restaurant with a standard assortment, including eggs, pastries, toast, and fresh fruit. Lunches are prepared by the kitchen at the hotel and are taken each day to be enjoyed in the field. Dinners are served in the restaurant, where guests can order from the menu. The food at the hotel is prepared by a local chef who focuses on classic Chilean-style cuisine using locally sourced ingredients. The staff can accommodate any dietary restrictions or requirements with ample notice.
Typical Length of Stay
Grey Fox Outdoor can accommodate stays of any length, with a two-night minimum. Orvis can customize your trip itinerary based on the number of days you’d like to fish as well as other activities you want to include.
Non-Angling Activities and Options
Non-anglers staying with Grey Fox Outdoor can enjoy a seemingly endless lineup of activities, which can be arranged each day. Many of these activities take place in nearby Torres del Paine National Park, which is an international destination for outdoors enthusiasts. Grey Fox’s “Outdoor Menu” has more than 20 different hiking trails of varied difficulties and distances. Other activities include kayaking, glacier trekking, and photography tours. Upon arrival at the lodge, guests typically meet with their guides to tentatively plan the week based on water conditions and weather forecasts. There are no set schedules, and Grey Fox offers guests the ability to customize their trip one day at a time.

The Area
Our operation is in the south end of the Patagonian Andes, on Ultima Esperanza’s opening to the Pacific Ocean. From here, we have access to flat and typical Patagonian meandering spring creeks and medium-size grasshopper-type of water. Some of them are no more than four feet wide, and it’s possible to find any size of fish there. Mountain rivers are also on the menu for those who like to hike to water that few people have fished. We also have a number of mid-size and larger rivers, which we like to fish when the browns start to swim upriver as they prepare for spawning season. In general terms, our watershed has two classifications. Most of what we fish are resident brown trout; they are happy and hungry from November through April. As you explore the map, you’ll see that our rivers are connected to lakes and the ocean. We have healthy and strong fish moving back and forth using the streams as their highway. The best time to find lake run brown trout *starts the second week of February, but March and April are the best months. (*This type of fishing requires particular conditions, so please contact us directly and we’ll provide the best recommendation.)
Fly-Fishing Puerto Natales
The geography is both wild and diverse in Patagonia. You’ll find glacier-carved valleys, lakes, lagoons, ponds, long, meandering spring creeks, mid-size and large rivers that flow into the Pacific Ocean, while others run into the Atlantic. Overall, it presents a unique and fantastic opportunity for anglers from all over the world.
