In the Northern Lake District of Patagonia, experience the best of two seasons in one unforgettable trip. Combine legendary fly fishing with the region’s often-overlooked exceptional California quail hunting.
Fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout is outstanding in this area, offering exciting action during small mayfly hatches as well as opportunities to target larger brown trout on streamers. You’ll have access to five of the region’s most renowned rivers, along with several spring creeks and pristine mountain lakes. Whether you prefer walk-and-wade or floating, every outing is fully equipped with top-quality gear and expertly selected flies, ensuring a seamless and rewarding experience on the water.
The region’s ideal elevation, climate, and terrain also create perfect conditions for thriving California quail populations. For bird hunters who enjoy pairing fall fishing with upland hunting, this is a rare opportunity. Expect massive coveys of unpressured birds that hold well before bursting into fast, challenging flights. With expertly trained dogs, experienced professional guides, and tens of thousands of acres at your disposal, you’ll hunt through open valleys, shrubland, and grassy foothills in a truly wild, untouched landscape.
Located on the banks of legendary Chimehuin River, the lodge provides immediate access to some of Patagonia’s most iconic waters and the rolling foothills of the Andes. After a day in the field, guests return to luxurious accommodations offering gourmet cuisine, attentive service, and a first-class relaxed atmosphere creating an authentic and unforgettable Patagonia cast-and-blast experience.
