Fishing in Chile – 10 Cool Things

In no particular order.

Entire rivers to yourself. On your fearless editor’s last trip to Chile West, we first saw another angler on day 9 out of 9.
Cantaria beetles. They’re big and crunchy, and trout of all sorts go nutty for them.
Bangin’ the banks. It’s action packed and it selects for bigger fish.
Giant stoneflies. Because we like fishing really big dry flies.
Legit local culture. Local rodeos, for example, are not something you’re going to find at home.
Chilean wine. It’s great and it’s everywhere.
Big fish. It’s not all about trout.
Pretty little fish. But there’s nothing wrong with small trout either.
Spring creeks. The fishing isn’t always easy, but fishing tiny clear water can be awfully rewarding.
Ridiculous scenery. It’s just a really beautiful place.
