4-Week Fishing Odyssey -Chile & Argentina

This winter, Fly Fishing Patagonia will be visiting four carefully chosen lodges, each during their prime time. We welcome adventurous anglers to join but space is quite limited. Out of all the lodges we represent, we chose these specific programs for the emphasis on Brown Trout, the opportunities of bigger fish, the variety of fishing and the jaw-dropping scenery. Travel times at and between destinations are minimal.
If you’ve yet to finalize your winter getaway, CONTACT US to learn more about these prime Patagonia fishing destinations for these dates or others. 434-249-1783
