With this Fly Fishing Package in Termas de Puyuhuapi Hotel and Spa you will enjoy 3 amazing fishing days in wild rivers. The access to the fishing areas is by boat and daily trips will be planned according to tides and weather. Bilingual and expert fishing guides will accompany you. This package also includes transfer in/out Balmaceda Airport/ Termas de Puyuhuapi Hotel and a full day excursion to Laguna San Rafael on the last day.
Within a radius between 45 minutes to 2 hours from Puyuhuapi Hotel & SPA, some of the best and most remote rivers for fly fishing in southern Chile await the angler for daily excursions. Subject to weather conditions and fishing locations, you will typically travel to the rivers of the region via de fjords and canals in the motor launch 'Dorita' - 9 meters in length with a comfortable and safe enclosed cabin, piloted by boatmen with vast experience in the waters of the area. If weather conditions are fine, a zodiac ride may also be an option. After arriving at the mouth of your selected river, you will disembark in a motorized rubber boat to navigate upstream, and will fish by wading the numerous pools of the rivers. Both wild rainbow and brown trout (resident and searun) live in the rivers near Termas de Puyuhuapi. Additionally, there are seasonal runs of Coho salmon in the area's waters.
The region's hard fighting trout average in the 16 - 18 inch range, however, fish weighing in at 4 pounds are not uncommon. Larger Coho salmon and sea-run trout up to (and occasionally over) 10 pounds are a distinct possibility, especially for experienced anglers. Most of the fishing in the rivers is conducted using sub-surface tactics, with medium weight tackle, sink-tip lines, and streamers.
This is not blind casting however, but exciting and technical fishing where good casting, presentation, and line control pay off in a big way. When the occasional hatch does bring the fish up to the surface you will switch to dry fly tactics, and cast to rising fish, typically with great success. It is worth it to return on time to relax at the hotel's spa, ending your day with a relaxing massage.
The outdoor hot springs pools are available the 24 hrs. For non-angling guests there are diverse activities, such as easy walks through the rainforest, visit to the hanging Glacier at the Queulat National Park, rides on mountain bikes on the road, sea kayaking between the islands, or relaxing with revitalizing thalassotherapy and beauty treatments.
