fly fishing in Chile's Patagonia region ...

Rainbow and brown trout of European origin and were introduced into the Patagonia region of Argentina/Chile during the early 19th century. Patagonia Chile is a place where hundreds of glacial lakes are connected by thousands of miles of pristine rivers, all flowing through the dramatic Andean Mountain range. Both the rainbow as well as the brown trout flourished in the lakes, streams and

rivers. The absence of predators, the large insect population in the waters and the cold clear rivers and lakes have produced amazing fly fishing.

Chilean Patagonia has been influenced by the German defeat in World War I (1914-1919), when the ensuing economic crisis forced many men and women to migrate to these lands in search of new horizons and looking for a better future. It is a beautiful place with its picturesque wooden houses of clear European inspiration (more than one is nowadays a lodge) and the famous factory of handmade rugs are still standing from those early years, constituting a forced tour for travellers visiting this corner of the Chilean Patagonia.
