Fishing Trips -Flyfish Chile- Patagonia Drifters

We offer a range of customizable, all-inclusive walking and float flyfishing trips for all abilities, tastes and desires. Some of the trips are decided upon by the weather, time of year where the fish are biting and other factors which are part of "fishing". Due to arrangements to access private stretches of water, we have rights to areas others do not. Below are descriptions of some of the services Patagonia Drifters offers. Bookings for trips are handled directly by us, or our friends at The Fly Shop.

Water Accessed by Patagonia Drifters

Patagonia Drifters has an intimate knowledge of the waters within a one and a half to two hour radius of the town of Coyhaique. While we normally stay within one hour of town, on occasion we will do something special a little further out there. We use drift boats, self bailing rafts, sleds and of course walk-wadding to access a wider variety of water than any other operation in the area (and we are darn proud of that fact! :-)

Lodging

Patagonia Drifters has recently finished constructing their own full-service lodge on the banks of the Mañihuales river. We invite you to stay with us and enjoy our hospitality!
