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.
See the Patagonia ProgramMost Chile Fly Fishing guests come from Mountain West and Pacific trout water — Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, California — and already know what technical dry-fly and streamer fishing demands. Before guiding a season in Coyhaique, our own guides spend time on that same water: reading fast riffles on the Madison, working hike-in cutthroat lakes near Dubois. It sharpens the exact skill set — drag-free drifts across broken current, precise presentation to selective fish — that defines a Patagonia expedition. See how that translates on our Patagonia fly fishing program.
A 50-mile riffle between Quake Lake and Ennis holding some of the highest wild trout densities in the American West — and the technical water our guides use to sharpen riffle-reading and dry-dropper presentation.
Red-rock badlands water and hike-in alpine lakes in the upper Wind River Valley, a fraction of the angling pressure of nearby Jackson Hole — the same unpressured-water philosophy we guide by in Coyhaique.
These field notes aren't a second destination — Chile Fly Fishing guides exclusively out of Coyhaique, Aysén. They're here so you know what's behind the guiding: the same technical eye for riffles, hatches, and unpressured water, applied to the wild trout systems of Chilean 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.
