Learning to Fish for Brown and Rainbow Trout
Understanding and using the combination of both, the scientific and artistic approach
to fly fishing will give you an appreciation of this sport. At Patagonia Adventures
we will not only teach you to fly fish, but also how to catch fish. Practice,
patience and the teaching of a master guide will enable you to enjoy the excitement
and pleasure of Fly Fishing.

in the heart of the pristine Andes Mountains in Patagonia, Argentina/Chile the
Alto Puelo Lodge is a perfect location to brush up or learn to fly fish. Surrounded
by unspoiled nature and a valdivian forest, the Alto Puelo Lodge is built at the
edge of the Rio Puelo. Both rainbow and brown trout await you in the turquoise
blue water. A perfect environment to learn to fly fish.

The
Schedule
After
a delightful breakfast, the morning will be spent learning the basics. They include;
the reel and fly line, casting, how to handle the rod and learning to tie important
knots to assure you won't lose the fly or fish. Each new morning you will advance
on a vital part of learning the art of fly fishing.
In the
afternoons, after a light lunch and perhaps a bit of siesta, your guide will take
you out on the water to practice what you have learned and he will also show you
different techniques of fly fishing. Being on the river is a lot different as
compared to learning on the grass or a pond. You will be where the action is and
with the guiding patience of your master guide, you will do some serious fishing.
The
early evening are usually presented with the evening hatch. The trout will surface
the lakes and rivers jumping and gulping the flies that also will rise to the
surface. At that time, what you learned about fly fishing during the day will
be applied at fast motion. After
the Fishing
Fly
fishing after the evening hatch are always looked forward to with an exquisite
cuisine prepared by our chef and accompanied by some of the fine Argentine or
Chilean wines followed by an artistic light desert. Relaxing and conversing with
new friends or telling fish stories to your fly fishing partners leads to a pleasant
rest with dreams of next days fishing adventure.
