Season:

Our season for resident brown trout is from mid-October all the way until mid-April.

SPRING (October the 15th through November
SUMMER (December to March 15th )
FALL (March 17 through April)

Species:

Resident brown trout are the primary species you'll fish for. Some of rivers are ideal for catching larger numbers of fish that average on the smaller side. These rivers are a good place to warm up and get the idea of how to fish in Patagonia.

There are many other opportunities to fish rivers that hold larger fish, in the 18 to 24 inch range.

Region/Terrain:

Our operation is located in the south end of the Patagonian Andes' right 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 4 feet wide, and it's possible to find any size of fish there. Mountain rivers are also in the menu. They are very interesting for those that like to hike and get to see water that not many people have fished. We have also a number of mid-size or bigger rivers. We like to fish these when the browns start to swim up river and they get ready for spawning season. Lakes and lagoons are available, and they are fun to float on an inflatable cataraft (two anglers, one guide). We fish them from the boat casting to the shore or drop-offs in search for those big browns. In general terms our watershed has two classifications.

Typical Weather:

Patagonia is influenced by the local steppe climate and the Polar current coming from the Antarctic. During the year, there is little rainfall in this part of Patagonia. The average temperature in southern Patagonia is 60'F. Wind is always a factor, and it can blow constantly. For most of the year, you can expect winds with a speed of about 15 - 20 km/h (9 - 13 miles/h). In the summer months however, winds can pick up and can reach speeds of about 80 to 100 km/h (50 to 65 miles/h).
