| Fly Fishing
trips to Chile, Del Zorro Lodge.
Chilean Patagonia's Estancia del Zorro is in the
Coyhaique Alto mountain range on the Chilean-Argentine border,
23 miles from Coyhaique, Chile. The 15,000 acre Estancia rests
in the habitat of the red fox (zorro), the namesake of the
Estancia.
Zorro is a full
service lodge where we can house up to twelve guests.
An abundance of condors, ragles, a myriad of
other birds, and unexplored brown trout entice flyfishers and
bird watchers to follow the trail of the red fox.
Fly Fishing. The waters you
will fish include streams, rivers and spring creeks, all located
within the boundaries of the 15,000-acre Estancia or a short
drive from the lodge. Many of these waters are seldom fished and
some have only recently been discovered, producing diverse
fishing conditions. While some offer exciting dry-fly action,
others require challenging sight fishing in pristine, crystal
clear waters where fish can grow as large as 32 inches.
The Del Zorro spring creek, only 200 yards from the lodge,
offers easy walk-in fishing for large, heavy brown trout. You
will also have the unique opportunity to explore private
freestone streams in both Argentina and Chile, two countries in
one trip, reached by 30- to 90- minute rides by four-wheel-drive
vehicles from the lodge.
The Rio Simpson,
the crown dry-fly jewel of the Coyhaique region, is yours to
float just one hour from Zorro. This river is divided into 3
distinct river types: the gravelly runs and pools of the smaller
upper river hold large rainbows and browns, the middle stretches
contain long gravel bars where king salmon spawn, and the lower
river has long deep boulder-filled runs that provide some of
South America’s best match-the-hatch fishing to large browns and
rainbows.
Fishing season.
The season at del Zorro runs from the first of December through
the first week of April.
Accomodation. The guests will stay at all inclusive
del Zorro Lodge. A main Quincho or Great Room invites guests to
relax, swap fish stories, and make plans for the next day's angling.
Also located in the main building is the dining room where both
breakfast and dinner will be served. Here guests prepare their
individual stream-side lunches and meet for social hour after
fishing.
