This is rural Patagonia at its finest, reminiscent of Montana more than 50 years ago.

Runoff typically occurs in November and December, bringing higher flows and floatable water on the Cisnes River. January through March are the peak summer months, offering medium flows, great wading conditions, and excellent hatches. April marks the beginning of autumn, with lower flows, cooler temperatures, and outstanding terrestrial and streamer fishing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBrown Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eAt EDLR, walk-and-wade fishing is the most common approach, giving anglers full access to the estancia's vast network of freestone rivers and spring creeks. The ranch also features several lakes, which are fished from rafts outfitted with fishing frames. River access is typically by 4x4 truck or horseback, depending on the location.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eSome waters on the property are known for producing high numbers of fish, while others are better suited for hunting larger trout. Across the ranch, Brown Trout range in size from 8 inches to well over 25 inches, with different streams and creeks offering different opportunities depending on your goals. Anglers can target browns here using a variety of techniques, though dry fly fishing is the predominant method.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eEquipment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eSuccessful fishing at Estancia De Los Rios often requires multiple rods and matching reels to stay prepared for a variety of techniques.

During the summer fishing season, daytime highs typically reach the mid-70s Fahrenheit. Conditions can change quickly, so anglers should be prepared for sun, wind, and the occasional rain shower. Dressing in layers is the best way to stay comfortable throughout the day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eIs tipping customary in Chile?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eYes, tipping is customary in Chile, particularly in the service and hospitality industries. While it is always at your discretion, we recommend tipping 10-15% of your trip total per person for your stay at Estancia De Los Rios. Tips should be given in cash, either in U.S. dollars or Chilean pesos, and are typically pooled and shared among the guides and lodge staff.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if I’m injured during the trip, and should I purchase travel insurance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedical emergencies and evacuations can happen in remote destinations, which is why we strongly recommend enrolling with\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-size: 16px;\" href=\"https:\/\/partner.globalrescue.com\/tridentflyfishing\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGlobal Rescue\u003c\/a\u003e before your trip.
