Beyond Patagonia: Field Notes From Our Guides' Home Waters

Beyond Patagonia is where Chile Fly Fishing's guides document the water they fish at home, in the U.S. — Montana's Madison River and the Wind River country around Dubois, Wyoming. It's not a guided program we sell; it's the technical backstory that explains why our reading of currents, hatches, and trout behavior translates directly to the rivers and spring creeks we guide in Coyhaique.

Why Our Guides Fish Their Clients' Home Waters

Time on different trout rivers keeps a guide learning. Fast riffles in Montana and hike-in lakes in Wyoming reinforce current reading, careful access and adaptable presentation—the same habits we bring to a day around Coyhaique. See how that translates on our Patagonia fly fishing program.

These field notes are not a second guided destination: Chile Fly Fishing operates from Coyhaique, Aysén. They document how time on other trout water sharpens observation, presentation and decision-making back in Patagonia.

“Matias & Sebastian connected with Douglas Outdoors when they started Chile Fly Fishing back in 2019/2020. They are now great friends who just happen to run a professional fishing operation in beautiful Patagonia. Everything is taken care of and first class once you arrive in Chile. Matias and Sebastian are great hosts and would love to show you some of their favorite spots. When it's time to book your bucket list trip to Patagonia contact the Team at Chile Fly Fishing and make your trip legendary.”
