We’ve been back from fly fishing in Chile for several weeks, but I wanted to share some final images from Chile. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
I love finding these prominent blue spots on Brown trout!
Here is a view of Torres del Paine National Park from our hotel room in Puerto Natales.

Guanacos around Torres del Paine National Park.
Besides guanaco, we were able to see fox and rhea.
We fly fished one day on Lago Porteño. It was a slow day and while we only caught three Brown trout, they were nice ones.
All of these trout were caught using two streamers.
