Patagonia, Chile Fishing Trip Report by Gregory Schneider

Trip Taken: Fly Fishing Patagonia, Chile
Fishing Consultant: Patrick Kissel | Outdoors International

The Blanco Camp is not even thirty miles from the Fishing Lodge but the landscape is impassable so it took a three hour car ride, a 1.5 hour horseback ride through a Canyon and finally an hour long boat ride up river to the Camp. The Camp had all the amenities including great food and more wine. The local guides and seasonal guides were both very knowledgeable of the fish in the area. Some of the hiking and wading was a little strenuous but if you are not up to hiking there are plenty of opportunities to fly fish from a boat on a lake or river.

Patrick is a very knowledgeable and experienced fly fisherman.

He is great at striking up a conversation and listening to his clients’ stories and making them feel welcomed and excited about their fishing trip. I would not have taken this trip if it was not for Patrick introducing the idea to me.

Second time I’ve done this particular trip. The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is! If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.

We had an incredible time fishing in Mexico. We've already booked our next trip and can't wait to go back!

I expected big trout on this trip based on all the stories I've read over the years, and I was not disappointed! I broke my own personal best rainbow trout record at least SIX times on this trip, with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty.

I will be going again soon!
