Fishing ReportsCOYHAIQUE PATAGONIA CHILE OUR OPERATION IN PATAGONIA CHILE Each of our guides has four or more years experience fishing and exploring these waters. They are both native Chilean and American. Our equipment includes jet powered boats, rubber rafts with high-back seats, Zodiacs with jet engines and good vehicles with trailers to reach all the waters we fish. Streams and fishing in this area are within 45 minutes from Cinco Rios Chile. Many of the streams have seldom, if ever, been fished; some have been discovered only recently. The streams offer diverse fishing; incredible, exciting dry fly action; and, challenging sight fishing in pristine, clean waters. Some brown trout, only accessible by our jet boats because of limited roads, have never seen a dry fly. Large fish abound with many Browns over 18 inches. On your way to nearby rivers and lakes, you may encounter local huasos or ranchers driving their cattle or sheep along the roads or into the hills. You might think you are lost in the wild west of days gone by until you realize a huaso may shuttle your boat with his oxen.

Coyhaique- Patagonia Chile Fish in Patagonia In the northern part of Patagonia, Chilean side, is located Coyhaique (koy-ike). This very nice and cozy town was settled in between two rivers (Simpson and Coyhaique) and surrounded for a big number of lakes and lagoons. Is in the Andes chain mountain slopes where we have our flyfishing operation. we feel very privileged out of a number of chances to enjoy a good day of fishing. As we told before, we are surrounded by water, so within 45 minutes maximum anglers can experience deferent types of fishing. Always remember that the beauty and diversity of the landscape in this area is what we consider a big bonus in your fishing trip. Meandrous spring creeks, creeks, all size rivers, lakes and lagoons, you can find in our backyard. The valleys were form by glaciers, and most of the water that we have around is as clear as you probably never seen before. The geography is diverse, so the weather is too, is unpredictable, so a good recommendation, always be prepare for the rain and the wind. In a normal week of fishing you can be taken to small spring creeks, some where in the Patagonian pampas, East side of the region, your first impression would be like fishing around Montana or Wyoming. Also, float trips are available, we have 5 different rivers to pick and fish for days. Fly fish the lakes and lagoons is a highly recommended option, specially for people that never try it before in Patagonia. In a good day you will see trout taking your dries, most of them good size fish. The Pacific Ocean, is about one hour and 30 minutes driving from our lodge. steep mountains cover with thick vegetation, big size rivers near the fjords. these kind are the most unpredictable water around. we know how to fish them, and we can tell you that there are very interesting fish (trout and salmon) moving back and forward from the ocean to the rivers. I could be telling you “big fish” or ... “I lost count” type of stories for pages, trying to explain how good the fishing is in Patagonia. But what I can tell you anglers is how close the opportunity to fish in water that not many people has been before. We like to explore Patagonia, because it has not been at all. you want to enjoy us, give us a call

Week of –April 23rd – April 29th - 2007
Written by – Jeff deBrown
Weather – We started to see our air temperatures bump up ever so slightly this past week. We are also starting to feel a little humidity in the air as well. Our evenings are not cooling off as quickly as they were just a few weeks ago. We began the week with slightly overcast skies and a North wind but by Thursday we were back to calm seas and bright sunny conditions.
Water temperatures: 66 to 77
Inshore Fishing Report: Between the winds this past week the inshore was very good. I spent three days with my guest Dave Waltz and his wife Nancy from Minnesota and we had some great fishing. We found numerous roosterfish and jacks that were willing to eat the bait we were throwing and every once in a while we could fool one of them into eating a fly. On the first day we were out together Dave hooked and landed two very nice roosterfish and that afternoon he hooked a very big rooster. After fighting this fish for just over an hour with the fish pulling line off the reel and the boat chasing it down so we could get line back only to have the process start all aver again the twenty pound tippet broke. After this Dave took out his frustrations out on a nice big school of ladyfish and after catching more than he could count he felt a little better. I hate to say it but Dave’s story dose not end here. The very next day Dave hooked a very big jack that our captain estimates was about forty pounds and after another long fight the fish once again escaped when the leader broke. We continue to see some bigger roosterfish under bird schools along with some very nice schools of jacks. The inshore fishing for ladyfish is very good when you find them. I have also heard of some very nice pargo staring to show in the area as well.

Weather – This past week the beautiful weather continued. We did not see any North wind this past week. The lack of wind made for great fishing conditions. The air temperatures are heating up and we are starting to feel the humidity. It looks like it might be an early spring.
Water temperatures: 66 to 73
Inshore Fishing Report: Inshore fishing this past week was very good for Rob Morton. Rob and I fished out of a panga on Thursday the 15th where we encountered some very nice schools of bigger rooster fish. Rob hooked and landed two very nice rooster fish both fish between fifteen and twenty pounds. Rob and I were able to get many other shots at other roosters as well having two very big rooster fish try and eat the fly but as they took a swipe at the fly the fish just plain missed leaving Rob and I saying to each other did you see that!!

Weather – This past week we saw a little of everything when it came to the North winds. We started the week with some strong winds and got a break from them for three days mid week and by the weekend they had returned. The temperatures have been very pleasant and the night time lows did not dip quite as low this past week making the early mornings slightly chilly and not down right cold.
Water temperatures: 66 to 71
Inshore Fishing Report: Inshore fishing this past week was excellent for nice sized jacks and lots of ladyfish and even the occasional yellowtail.

Weather – This past week was one of the nicest weeks we have seen in quite a while. The North winds were virtually nonexistent and we had plenty of sunshine with some very comfortable temperatures. The night time lows were warmer as well making this past week very pleasant here in Baja.
Water temperatures: 66 to 71
Inshore Fishing Report: Most of the boats that went out this past week took advantage of the weather and headed off shore looking for fish.

Today, the shelf ice is breaking up and the river is just now coming into good shape. Fishing has picked up. The Gallatin is a very reliable winter fishery with nymphs. We are scheduled for some colder weather by the weekend, so hit the river now, before the slush and shelf ice come back. A #10 Tungstone Golden with a #16 Bead Head Pheasant Tail is our favorite searching rig for the Gallatin in winter, but they usually aren’t too fussy. Any combination of Prince and mini beadheads should produce. Focus on the deeper runs. When the water temps come up on warm afternoons you will find the fish at the heads of the pools often sittin under rough water. Don’t be afraid of doubling up your split shot to get under the rough water. . . . keep readingOriginally posted on: Saturday, January 06, 2007 by Toby Swank81801 Gallatin Rd Bozeman, MT US 59718 Spring time in Patagonia Chilena We are about to open the sport fishing season for salmonids in Chile. at least this October will the opening at Coyhaique area (northern Patagonia).
Yes, another season is comming for us.
This next summer coming in Patagonia is spec ting to have fishermen visiting around… so for all those I can tell you that we did had a normal winter. snow fall was late this year I could tell that spring time will be melting most of it. But. you never know.. Patagonia weather is unpredictable. So the best advise to fishermen and visitors is just in case bring you rain jacket and fleece… always better be comfortable first, so then you can enjoy you time fishing. So, as much the weather is unpredictable the fishing is too… If you have never been in Patagonia, let me tell you that you might find all kinds of water, where trout live. Lakes, lagoons and small ponds are every where… and rivers, creeks and spring creeks in all sizes are found in this part of the world. For this Spring fishing will be Ideal in outlets and inlets of big lakes. specially looking for rainbows that still are moving around for spooning. there some tributaries that should be clear at this time of the year. (spooning season for rainbow August thru November) Late October is the time to focus on looking for small creeks that guides know where rainbows like spoon, so do not think it twice and give it a try. now… don`t forget those browns that are waiting for rainbow eggs floating down. This what should be for Northern Patagonia in the Chilean side. but any ways where ever you are right now “good fishing”

Originally posted on: Sunday, October 15, 2006 by Claudio JoostLas golondrinas #1469 Coyhaique, Pa Chile Gallatin River Hoppers and ants in the valley near town, this will likely be one of the last weeks of really good fishing with terrestrials on the Gallatin with all of the cooler weather in the forecast. Look for some BWO action with the rainy drizzly weather in the forecast. The canyon has still been fishing well with attractors, rubberleg stimulators have been the ticket up in the canyon. Attractor nymphs have been picking up fish throughout the canyon as well, spitfires, some pheasant tails and lightning bugs, pick your favorite and drop it off a bigger stimulator. Towards the park there are some caddis in the evenings, a few remnants of the PMD’s, but don’t look for that to be key. Baetis should start popping up in this section this weekend too. If you want to get some bigger fish on the Gallatin, try deaddrifting some bigger bugger patterns, and in another 2 or 3 weeks go down lower on the river and toss streamers..
Originally posted on: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 by Kris Kumlien1716 West Main Street Bozeman, Montana United States 59715 Upper Madison Another week and another set of mixed results from the Upper. If you are going to float this, don’t bother going higher than McAtee bridge, Lyons and Pallisades down hasn’t been fishing typically well for larger fish. Lots of tiny 6-8 inchers up on size 12 and 14 hoppers, if that’s your game go and float Lyons to Mac. Varney down has been decent, although there isn’t a ton of water in the river there is enough to be holding some fish. The half down hopper has been the best bug on the Upper, I think it is because of the way it sits down in the surface film instead of floating way up top like some of the foam patterns. There are a few caddis left in the evenings, but don’t look for this to be great small dry time… Streamer fishing down towards town might be pretty good, if not epic this weekend with the crummy weather in the forecast.

We floated from 9th street bridge in Livingston down to Springdale on an over night trip. We put in around two o’clock the first day and had instant action. The hopper fishing stayed good for about three hours until it started to cool off. We caught some nice fish in the 16-20 inch range. Also, dropping a size 14 lightning bug off the hopper about eighteen inches was productive for smaller fish. The evening and early morning seemed less productive on hoppers but was still consistent on nymphs. The middle of the day was by far the best time for hoppers, producing some very nice fish. . . . keep readingOriginally posted on: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 by Kris Kumlien1716 West Main Street Bozeman, Montana United States 59715 Page 1 of 1 pages
