FLY FISHING IN CHILEAN PATAGONIA

Chilean Patagonia is — without a doubt — a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. The Aysén Region has both the ideal geographical and meteorological conditions for the salmonoid species to survive, reproduce, and thrive in its crystalline waters. Our fish-rich rivers, lakes, and lagoons are home to brown and rainbow trout as well as Chinook salmon.

Fly fishing is an activity that has the ability to deeply connect us with the peace and calm of nature — a world away from the hum of everyday life. Whether you’re an experienced angler or you’re just starting, Melimoyu Lodge is a destination that will invigorate and inspire your angling ambitions.

Melimoyu Lodge offers a blend of luxury and adventure — an oasis of relaxation juxtaposed with the beautiful, hard edges of our remote wilderness. Spend the day on the water and the evening in refined comfort.
