Snow runoff has not begun; glacially fed rivers are in good shape; and spring creeks are at their best. The trout haven’t seen an imitation in months. This is a great time to fish for large rainbows. The most effective techniques are streamers fished on sink-tip lines, but nymph fishing can also be productive. The take can be quite aggressive, producing some of the biggest fish of the year.

Insects are on the move, and the ‘winged versions’ begin to play a bigger part in the trout’s diet.

The first sight of fish rising to caddis flies happens during these months. Nymphing and dry fly fishing become more consistent, but don’t put away the streamers. All of the many fly fishing opportunities, including lakes, rivers and spring creeks, begin to produce at this time.

Predominant are mayflies in the morning and early afternoon and caddis late afternoon and evenings. Hoppers are also prevalent on many of our rivers and spring creeks. Lakes also produce more consistent hatches.

This is the time to view the spectacular Patagonia autumn colors and chase big browns.

Lower water levels allow fishing in locations, otherwise not fished. Well placed flies annually produce trophy brown trout.

With longer and warmer days, the hatches become more intense and the fish start to look up.

The dry fly fishing and hatches historically start during late November early December.

This is very good time to swing big streamers and look for big aggressive trophy fish looking for some action after winter.

Early season can provide anglers the opportunity to fish for big migratory, lake run rainbows.

Fishing season in Coyhaique starts in early October, ending the first week of May.

The salmon are not easily caught on fly, but the runs are significant enough to give the occasional “shot” at one or two on a trip if they are in the river system.

Wild brown and rainbow trout are the main species targeted in these rivers, as well as a short, but decent run of King and Coho salmon during the summer months.

The main watersheds are the Simpson and Paloma Rivers, both famous for the finest dry fly fishing in Chile.

One day you can fish a meandering “Montana type spring creek” while spending the next day in a gin clear river system of “Pacific Northwest style” in a temperate rainforest.

The landscape of the Aysén region is incredibly diverse; you can travel from the dry, arid pampas (Patagonian Steppe) to the temperate rainforest (Paloma River) in just over an hour.

Surrounded by mountains and glaciers, it has more fishable waters that you can imagine. T

The small city of Coyhaique is the mecca of dry fly fishing in Chilean Patagonia. It is often compared to the American West 100 years ago but with less people, and with non-educated, larger than average sized fish.

Magic Waters is located at 35 miles northwest of Balmaceda airport and about 20 miles from the city of Coyhaique.

Lower water levels allow fishing in locations, otherwise not fished. Well placed flies annually produce trophy brown trout.

It is the time to view the spectacular Patagonia autumn colors and chase big browns.

With a hint of autumn in the air, April brings shorter days and cooler nights.

Predominant are mayflies in the morning and early afternoon and caddis late afternoon and evenings. Hoppers are also prevalent on many of our rivers and spring creeks. Lakes also produce more consistent hatches.

This is the premier dry fly fishing time – mid-summer in Chile.

The first sight of fish rising to caddis flies happens during these months. Nymphing and dry fly fishing become more consistent, but don't put away the streamers. All of the many fly fishing opportunities, including lakes, rivers and spring creeks, begin to produce at this time.

December is similar to June in the U.S. Days become longer and temperatures warmer. Insects are on the move, and the ‘winged versions’ begin to play a bigger part in the trout's diet.

The take can be quite aggressive, producing some of the biggest fish of the year.

The most effective techniques are streamers fished on sink-tip lines, but nymph fishing can also be productive.

The trout haven’t seen an imitation in months. This is a great time to fish for large rainbows.

Snow runoff has not begun; glacially fed rivers are in good shape; and spring creeks are at their best.

Early Chilean spring flyfishing finds many of our rivers prime for fishing.

We practice catch and release on all Chilean waters.

We offer you fine flyfishing all season long. What varies is where we fish, how we fish, and the weather!

Our flyfishing season, for rainbows and browns, starts at the second Friday of October, and ends at the first Sunday of May.

The lodge has a couple small “lagunas” that you can fish after dinner to catch the evening hatch.

This region of Chile also has some of the best dry fly, lake fishing in the world for wild browns.

Anglers can also float the freestones and navigate the rapids of the Simpson casting to fish with dries or streamers.

Magic Waters has private access to rarely fished spring creeks if you enjoy wade fishing.

There is always a chance to get hooked into one these fish if the weather and water levels cooperate.

n the Patagonian fall, the weather gets cooler, days are shorter, but the migratory brown trout start to move.

Between the hundreds of species of beetles, dragonflies, grasshoppers, caddis, mayflies and stoneflies, the dry fly fishing is pretty steady until April.

Predominant are mayflies in the morning and early afternoon and caddis late afternoon and evenings.
