Why Chile?
Why Chile?
For the fly-angler, Chile and Patagonia go hand in hand. Though Argentina has become known for its Patagonian fishing treasures as well, Chile is without doubt, an international destination for those seeking tremendous fishing equaled only by breathtaking beauty.
Chilean Patagonia is a labyrinth of fjords, inlets, twisting peninsulas, and islands, and contains the world's second largest temperate rain forest blanketing the near impassable wall of the Andes. Fed by an extensive network of mountain lakes and rivers this area provides some of the world's best fly-fishing, often with immense glaciers and stunning waterfalls in the background. Dense hardwood forests of beech, bamboo, and fern are home to abundant bird life and various game.
Chilean Patagonia's fjord land region is based in the Yelcho watershed, which is considered by many anglers and fish biologists to be home of the largest resident rainbows, browns, and brook trout in all of the Patagonia. In addition to the three trout species, this area also has significant populations of steelhead, sea-run browns, Atlantic salmon, chinook (king) salmon, and coho (silver) Salmon.
Chile is, quite simply, the ultimate marriage of wild and dramatic beauty with unbelievable fishing. Each of your senses will be treated to something otherworldly, and our partner lodges and outfitters never tire of sharing this incredible experience. Castafly Travel is here to see you get just that.
