Discover the remote, unspoiled fishing paradise of Punta Arenas in Chilean Patagonia, where pristine rivers, lakes, and lagoons offer world-class fly fishing. This region is celebrated for its trophy-sized resident brown trout, rainbow trout, and migratory sea-run brown trout, with opportunities to land fish in the 14–20 inch class. Anglers explore diverse waters—from spring-fed creeks and beaver ponds to expansive lakes like Lago Blanco—against a backdrop of dramatic Andean landscapes and Torres del Paine National Park.

The season runs November through April, with prime conditions for dry fly, streamer, and Spey rod techniques. Wade fishing dominates the smaller streams, while boats access secluded lagoons holding the largest resident trout. For unparalleled adventure, heli-fishing expeditions unlock untouched rivers in Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn, where low fishing pressure ensures thrilling catches.

Expert local guides customize trips to match angler goals, whether targeting sea-run browns in the Rio Grande or brook trout in high-country lagoons. Punta Arenas combines challenging angling with raw Patagonian wilderness, creating an unforgettable fly-fishing frontier where every cast connects you to one of Earth’s last true angling sanctuaries.
