Fly Fishing Tierra del Fuego
A PLACE LIKE FEW IN THE WORLD
Given its unique characteris- tics, Domos de la Estancia Lodge offers a variety of fishing situations like very few others can. From fine fishing in the spring creek and beaver dams, where we can tempt the trout with a variety of flies that range from small nymphs to large attractors, passing through the lakes, mainly the Yakush and the Chepelmut.
The fishing intensity is very good. Either in the spring creek, rivers or lakes, the bites occur frequent- ly. In November and December, the rivers in the heart of the Island have a lot of activity and in the lakes we must go further in depth, but in the summer and during the Fuegian sunset we can find them eating on the surface, offering up a wonderful spectacle. On the other hand, fishing in the Rio Grande during the first months of the season allows us to catch the new schools that enter the river.
These are truly beautiful silvery specimens, and there is always the surprise chance of nailing a large Chinook Salmon. Later in the season, during January, February and March, the river is loaded with trout, and this means a day without a catch is almost impossible.
The days during the season in these latitudes are very long, so sometimes the fishing day ends earlier, if that’s your wish. Replenish your energy at the lodge for the coming day by enjoying the good wine and gastrono- my prepared by our chef, or sharing anecdotes around the stove.
