Martin Pescador Lodge offers guests an extremely diverse program and is a great base for sampling Chilean fly fishing. The program seemlessly utilizes blends 2 lodges over 7 nights and 6 days of fishing where anglers have access to 12 rivers and 8 lakes in one of Patagonia's most beautiful regions. With over 35 boats stashed in different locations the experienced guides take "off the beaten path" fishing to another level. The light fishing pressure and productive waters make Pescador a hot spot for anglers targeting trophy trout on the fly and numerous trout over 10lbs are landed by lodge guests each season. Guests can expect highly experienced guides, great service and a huge variety of fishing options. Martin Pescador has a loyal following of return clients so booking early is a must to get a spot at this great location.

Fishing
Rivers
From the three different lodges that make up the Martin Pescador program you can wade and float some of the region's best rivers. During the summer months and early fall anglers can throw dry flies to pods of rainbows or throw big attractor dries to entice large browns. Some of the rivers fished include the Yelcho, Futaleaufu, Palena, Rosselot, Figueroa and Pico.
Lakes and Lagunas
This region of Chile offers some of the world's best trophy trout fishing in incredibly productive lakes. Watching double digit monster trout launch out of the water to intercept dragonflies is not uncommon when fishing the reed beds on these stillwaters. Whether sight casting to huge fish patrolling weed beds or swing for the fences with big streamers these spectacular stillwaters are a great way to add variety to floating and wading the many rivers in the region.
Guides
Your guides at Martin Pescador are highly experienced. The progam utilizes both American and local Chilean guides that speak excellent English.
