Searching for the Big Fish
In fly fishing, theory is just that; practice is what allows you to cast over and over until you achieve that perfect shot that connects you with your coveted trout.
Fly fishing is not an exact science, but it requires time, a good teacher, patience, and constant exploration of rivers and lakes to fully understand how to catch the prized trout. To succeed, one must learn to handle the rod, line, and appropriate hook, and make the experience entirely one´s own. Walking along rivers, imagining where the fish are hiding, understanding what they are feeding on and at what time, and having your gear ready to present the fly as precisely as possible are essential for success.
In Chile´s Los Lagos Region, sport fishermen have true paradises in which to practice and find their dream catch. Lakes Llanquihue, Todos los Santos, and Rupanco, along with the rivers and streams connected to them, form an ideal basin for fly fishing.
Each outing adapts to the environment, and in this Patagonian area, fishing days with friends take place with volcanoes in the background. They may be activedormant, but all contribute their majesty; thus, the volcanoes Osorno, Puntiagudo, Casablanca, Tronador, and Calbuco preside over each of our journeys, adding an incomparable frame to the landscape.
In reality, the true protagonists are always the trout and salmon, which can be found, to varying degrees, in nearly every riverlake in southern Chile. The most prized species are rainbow and brown trout (called "marrones" in Argentina), as well as silver, coho, and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).
Regarding "salmon farming", companies in the region have grown steadily in recent years. It is common to see farming cages in rivers, lakes, and estuaries; occasionally, broken nets have released thousands of salmon that instinctively return to the rivers to complete their life cycle, spawn, and behave as native fish.
The area also has expert guides who offer float trips, riverside walks, and even seaplane landings directly on fishing spots. They know each resource and the behavior of the species perfectly, day by day and year by year, ensuring their clients a safe and effective fishing experience.
When places Puelo, Hornopirén, Chaitén, and Futaleufú are mentioned, they are recognized as starting points for expeditions into areas of remarkable natural beauty. They also represent the opportunity to encounter those waterways that hold the giant fish we have dreamed of, which can appear at any moment, making the fly-fishing dream a reality.
