Few places on Earth can match the diverse ecological richness of Chile's Patagonia region. Surrounded by majestic mountains and dotted with clear rivers, streams, and lakes, this area is renowned for its abundant rainbow and brown trout. At Puma Fishing, we proudly operate Chile's sole mothership, ensuring safe passage on the lake even in inclement weather and offering flexibility to explore different fishing grounds under varying conditions. Our 60-foot mothership features three cabins, accommodating up to six anglers with individual bunks and bathrooms. Additionally, we provide two cabins and a lodge in our land-based operations along the riverbanks.
Depending on the season, you can enjoy exceptional dry fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout. We also catch brook trout, steelhead, and coho, king, and Atlantic salmon. Weather permitting, there's also the chance to pursue saltwater species such as snoek mackerel and slender tuna. Our expeditions focus on the Yelcho watershed, a large, pristine freshwater lake fed by eight rivers, offering optimal fishing from both our mothership and land-based facilities.
Our lodge boasts IGFA world records for rainbow and brown trout, king and silver salmon, the giant snoek mackerel, slender tuna, and perca trucha, not in line classes but as the heaviest or longest catches of these species ever recorded. According to the IGFA, we hold more world records than any other lodge in the world that primarily fishes in freshwater. This accomplishment is a testament to our 40-plus years of operation and our experienced guides who intimately know the waters we fish.
Our all-inclusive trips feature gourmet cuisine prepared by our chef using local produce and Chilean wines from top vineyards. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia and Chile for the trip of a lifetime. We currently have availability in December 2024 and select prime spots in February and March 2025. For further details or specific inquiries, please contact us.
7 nights / 6 days: $6,650.00 (excluding airfare and gratuities).
