    Are You Ready for March Brown Mayflies?

    March 4, 2025March 4, 2025

    March is finally here and for the fly fisher it’s probably the first major hatch of the season. Are you ready for March Brown mayflies to begin hatching on your local river? For me, this is the first hatch I really look forward to. Give me a Sparkle Dun March Brown and Pheasant Tail Soft…

    February 26, 2025February 28, 2025

    Did you notice the word “fishing” wasn’t included in the title? Our second week of in Patagonia found us fish hunting at Casa de Campo with SET Fly Fishing. It was our third year with SET Fly Fishing and we were looking for options where we could mainly walk and wade fish. SET has several…

    Odds and Ends

    February 18, 2025February 18, 2025

    We have been back from our Patagonia fly fishing trip for a week and a half and thought I’d share a few odds and ends as I’m slowly getting back into a normal routine. We returned home to a snowy driveway and temperatures in the 30’s, a vast departure from summer weather in Argentina. I…

    Fly Fishing the Upper Rio Simpson with Coyhaique River Lodge.

    February 11, 2025February 12, 2025

    Our last day of fishing Patagonia in Chile found us fly fishing the Upper Rio Simpson with Coyhaique River Lodge. We weren’t sure what the upper river might have in store for us, because we enjoy the walk/wade experience. Our only other time fly fishing the Rio Simpson was 18 years ago when we waded…

    Fly Fishing at Lago Pascua with Coyhaique River Lodge

    February 6, 2025February 6, 2025

    We had a wonderful time fly fishing at Lago Pascua with Coyhaique River Lodge. This is the one and only day we fished a lake in Chile and the fishing gods smiled down upon us. A we crested the hill, a beautiful, picturesque lake came into view. Our drive continued to the far side of…

    We are still in Patagonia, but I’d like to share a few images from Chile. An image of our guide, Enzo from Coyhaique River Lodge. Here is Chester, who does an excellent job hunting rabbit around the lodge. Blocking the Patagonia wind after a streamside lunch. Ibis in the field. We found these everywhere driving…

    Fly Fishing the Nirehuao River with Coyhaique River Lodge

    January 28, 2025January 27, 2025

    Our third day in Patagonia found us fly fishing the Nirehuao River with Coyhaique River Lodge. Today was a float trip down the river, casting dries, switching to streamers, and back to dries in the afternoon. It was the longest “windshield time” of the week…two hours to the turnoff and then another 45 minutes to…

    Fly Fishing with Coyhaique River Lodge

    January 24, 2025January 24, 2025

    Our first week in Patagonia found us fly fishing with Coyhaique River Lodge. We met brothers Claudio and Gaston Urrejola on our first trip to Patagonia in 2007. It was a much smaller operation in those days as the brothers alternated guiding us on the rivers and lakes around Coyhaique. The lodge was built a…

    Flies I’m Taking to Patagonia

    January 7, 2025January 7, 2025

    I completed tying all the flies we’ll be using in Chile. We leave in a couple of days and thought you’d enjoy the list of flies I’m taking to Patagonia. First of all, let me say all these flies is probably overkill, but hey, I’m a fly tyer! Lodges differ on whether they provide all…
