奇馬爾菲巴塔哥尼亞小屋奧維斯週

The six-day schedule from Jan. 18-23 gave us just enough time to really dial in on the browns and rainbows, and the Yelcho region's scenery alone was worth the trip. My only complaint is that $5,500 is steep, but the guiding and lodge experience felt properly high-end for what you get.

Fly fishing the Yelcho region in January was incredible; the brown trout were hitting like crazy, and the lodge’s 5:30 p.m. cocktail hour with local wine made for a perfect end each day.

The lodge staff had our gear ready and waiting each morning, and the guided wading was perfect for sight-casting to cruising browns. Even the evening meals featured fresh local fish caught that day by other guests. A truly seamless week in one of the most remote, beautiful settings I've fished.
