As crazy and diverse as the geography can be in Patagonia – with various waterways such as glacier-carved valleys, lakes, lagoons, ponds, long meandrous Spring creeks, mid-size and big-size rivers that flow down into the Pacific Ocean, while others run into the Atlantic Ocean – it creates an unusual and fantastic opportunity for anglers from all over the world..

Season:
Our season for resident brown trout is from mid-October all the way until mid-April.
SPRING (October the 15th through November
SUMMER (December to March 15th )
FALL (March 17 through April)

Species:
Resident brown trout are the primary species you’ll fish for. Some of rivers are ideal for catching larger numbers of fish that average on the smaller side. These rivers are a good place to warm up and get the idea of how to fish in Patagonia.
There are many other opportunities to fish rivers that hold larger fish, in the 18 to 24 inch range.

Region/Terrain:
Our operation is located in the south end of the Patagonian Andes’ right on Ultima Esperanza’s opening to the Pacific Ocean.

From here we have access to flat and typical Patagonian meandering Spring creeks and medium-size grasshopper type of water. Some of them are no more than 4 feet wide, and it’s possible to find any size of fish there. Mountain rivers are also in the menu. They are very interesting for those that like to hike and get to see water that not many people have fished. We have also a number of mid-size or bigger rivers. We like to fish these when the browns start to swim up river and they get ready for spawning season.

• Day trips and all inclusive packages.(3 to 7nights)
• One bilingual professional guide for every two anglers
• Most of the water we fish is PRIVATE ACCESS
• Primary fish are RESIDENT BROWN TROUT
• Wade trips and float trips are available
• Lunches are included and served on the river side
• ACCESS TO SPRING CREEKS

FREESTONES MID-SIZE / BIGGER-SIZE RIVERS

We have a couple of main rivers in the area that we select during your stay with us. They are typically 20 to 40 feet wide, mountain and spring water fed, with well-marked pools and riffles. We definitely suggest fishing these rivers, as they are connected straight to the ocean and it can be a surprise on every trip. We have resident brown trout and as the season goes on, especially starting in mid-February until mid-April we find LAKE RUN BROWNS that are waiting for you. A regular day of fishing starts at 9:00 AM with return to the hotel around 8:00 PM. If you are willing to stay longer on the water, please do – we enjoy staying longer on the water with you.

Estancias in Magallanes, which are large cattle ranches, originated from the arrival of English companies that owned vast tracts of land.These companies established “stations” to manage their estates, and this English term was eventually adopted into the Spanish language as “Estancia”.The first constructions, like those at Estancia near the ocean, date back to 1916.

These generation of settlers and their hard work and passion for their land, has inherited big portions of valleys and historical buildings that are the perfect scenarios for the new travelers and explore unique and private areas.

In general terms our watershed has two classifications. Most of what we fish are resident brown trout. They are happy and hungry during the months of November through April. Then if you stop a minute and take a good look at the map, you’ll see our rivers are connected to lakes and the ocean. We have healthy and strong fish moving back and forth using the streams as their highway. The best time to find SEA RUN BROWNS* OR LAKE RUN BROWNS *starts the second week of February, but March and April are the best months. (*This type of fishing needs a particular conditions to make it happens, please contact Us direct and we lead you with the best recommendation)

Patagonia is influenced by the local steppe climate and the Polar current coming from the Antarctic. During the year, there is little rainfall in this part of Patagonia. The average temperature in southern Patagonia is 60’F. Wind is always a factor, and it can blow constantly. For most of the year, you can expect winds with a speed of about 15 – 20 km/h (9 – 13 miles/h). In the summer months however, winds can pick up and can reach speeds of about 80 to 100 km/h (50 to 65 miles/h).

In about a one hour’s drive from the lodge we have access to more than 6 different spectacular SPRING CREEKS. These are all wading opportunities and we take all lunches and equipment with us to spend the full day in the area. Because these water options are so close together, we can move from one creek to another, so as to give you a touch of diversity on your trip.

We are very concerned about this type of water. Our SPRING CREEKS are some of the most unique trout waters in all of Patagonia.

We have a couple of main rivers in the area that we select during your stay with us. They are typically 20 to 40 feet wide, mountain and spring water fed, with well-marked pools and riffles.

We definitely suggest fishing these rivers, as they are connected straight to the ocean and it can be a surprise on every trip.
