Trout fishing Chile, Martin Pescador Lodge

The fishing

Trout fishing Chile – Eleven’s Martin Pescador Lodge offers fly fishing enthusiasts access to some of the finest fishing in the Los Lagos region, centered around the stunning Rio Yelcho and Lago Yelcho. This location is a paradise for trout anglers, combining breathtaking Patagonian scenery with a diverse range of fishing opportunities. With its strategic placement, anglers can experience both lake and river environments that hold an abundance of wild brown and rainbow trout.

Fishing at Lago Yelcho is renowned for its summer dragonfly hatches, offering thrilling dry fly action as large trout aggressively take surface patterns. Streamer fishing and nymphing are also effective, particularly around the lake’s edges and in deeper channels. At the lake’s outlet, anglers transition seamlessly into the Rio Yelcho, where crystal-clear waters allow for exceptional sight fishing. Here, skilled guides help anglers locate trout rising in eddies and riffles to aquatic and terrestrial insects, providing a rewarding experience.

The lower Futaleufú River, where it joins Lago Yelcho, is another key fishing area accessible from the lodge. This stretch is famous for its trophy trout, often exceeding expectations with their size and strength.

Martin Pescador’s team of experienced guides ensures each fishing trip is tailored to the conditions, maximizing success. With a variety of fishing techniques available, whether casting dry flies, streamers, or nymphs – the lodge offers an unparalleled angling experience in one of Patagonia’s most beautiful and productive regions.
