of rivers, with characteristics, sizes and shapes that are wonderful
habitat for various types of trout and salmon introduced almost
100 years ago in the country. This is the reason why Chile is
considered one of the best areas to enjoy fishing.
The quality of the species, the purity of water and powerful nature
that surrounds each fishing sector speak in silence for those
who love this sport.
You can practice it from the Antofagasta region to the edge of
Tierra del Fuego. However Patagonia is the one with a well-earned
global fame for the practice of this art. Its waters have captivated
anglers from around the world to cross the planet to be photographed
with a piece and then release it in the river nominated in the
category "catch and release".
Some species that normally are available in Chile are the rainbow
trout, from the Central Zone to the south, the brown trout from
the Region of Valparaiso to the Magallanes region, the coho salmon
in rivers and lakes of the Los Lagos, Aysén and Magallanes regions
and finally, if you're lucky, you can fish chinook, or king salmon,
a real monster of the Chilean waters, which lives mainly in Patagonia
and Tierra del Fuego .
Lonquimay: This is a
commune with spectacular surroundings, offering a wide variety
of opportunities to practice fishing.
Within a radius of 100 kilometers are several alternatives:
Galletué lakes, Icalma Mariñanco, Jara and rivers Bío-Bío, Rahue,
Polul and Lonquimay.
In early season, the imitation of streamers and nymphs are most
effective.
Since mid-December onwards, dry flies come to front, which implies
a more technical fishing that tests the knowledge and experience
of the fisherman. At all times very strong fish try to escape.
There are several areas where wading requires no difficulty,
however, to access the best fishing, it is necessary to use
the catarraf, a comfortable boat that sails swiftly in the hard
places. In these sectors the best parts are hiding. Lonquimay
is located 156 km from Temuco, the route-Curacautín Lautaro
and 186 kilometers down the road Curacautín Victoria. Both routes
are fully paved until Lonquimay .
Valdivia: Folilco sector is ideal for fishing with dry
flies and perfect for the classic fishing. The clear waters

Maullín River: the only drain of Llanquihue Lake, in
the heart of the Lakes' Region. Sometimes it is completely covered
in its banks by vegetation, comprising forests of myrtle and
other species of aquatic places. The river has a great population
of healthy and competitive trouts, mainly brown trouts and a
little fewer population of rainbow trouts. Sometimes you can
also fish salmon or attractive farionelas. One of the great
attractions of this river is the possibility of catching brown
trophies without the need to travel to remote places. t is not
uncommon to achieve 5 kilos fishes in the most deep river. Fishing
is done mostly with large streamers and less with nymphs. Dry
fly fishing can be done in the evening.
Coyhaique: The city of Coyhaique is surrounded by numerous
bodies of water, most of them with excellent fishing. The fishing
spots are in one hour traveling by the land.
Simpson River: Located in the Aysen area it is 40 kilometers
long and is probably the best known place in the region. Internationally
it is considered a true fishing paradise. Its population of
brown and rainbow trout varies between 35 and 55 cm in size.
The river is famous for its large hatches of caddis and mayflies.
In the months of January, February and mid-March, you can see
great comebacks of chinook salmon, and most of them exceed one
meter in length.
Emperador Guillermo River: This river has an outrageous
number of trout daily.
Ñireguao River: It has been rated by connoisseurs as
"the best river for trout fishing in South America". The average
size of trout is from 40 to 45 centimeters and it may even reach
60 or 70 centimeters .
Cisnes River: With over 80 miles long, it rises near
the border with Argentina and empties into the Pacific Ocean.
At the top there is an abundant population of brown trout. Chinook
salmons come back to its waters in the months of February and
March.
Paloma River: it rises in Desierto Lake and empties into
Caro Lake. It has beautiful brown and rainbow trout, whose average
size is between 35 and 55 centimeters.

area of Los Fiordos there are numerous rivers that flow into
the sea where you can catch large rainbow trouts (they normally
achieve 2 or 3 kilos). There are also beautiful farios.
Tierra del Fuego: The Rio Grande is considered the greatest
river in the world to fish the migratory brown trout. Each year
hundreds of anglers from around the world fill out the existing
lodges on both sides of Chile and Argentina border. The river
rises in the peat and also feeds the lakes Lynch, from Rivero
and White rivers. It has a length of 220 kilometers and its
waters are light brown transparent. The first half of the river
