The Fishing

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 rubber rafts with high-back seat, and good vehicles with trailers to reach all the waters we fish.

Streams and fishing in this area within the boundaries of the Estancia or 45 minutes from it, most of it is wading through the rivers and spring creeks. 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 were fish could go up to 32 inches. From Zorro you can also float the legendary Simpson River, that is an hour drive from the Lodge.  All the water we fish is private and owned by the estancia or accessed through other estancias by agreement with the owners.

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.  Condors will circle about the cliffs, flamingos can "winter" in the area. You might think you are lost in the wild west of days gone.
