Two Strategic Fly Fishing Lodges in Chilean Patagonia
Patagonia, Chile
Chilean Patagonia is known for its vast, largely untapped trout water. At Martín Pescador Lodge, we enable you to maximize your time in this expansive region by splitting your itinerary into two distinct locations for twice the water, and twice the fishing. Set south of Chaitén in Patagonia’s Lake District, our two riverfront lodges access Rio and Lago Yelcho, Rio Futaleufú, Rio and Lago Rosselot, Rio Figueroa, Rio Pico, and many more.
Welcome to Martín Pescador Lodge
Two Lodges for Twice the Trout
A Wild Setting in Patagonia
Entirely off the beaten path, both lodges are riverfront properties with views of ends-of-the-earth landscapes like Valdivian rainforests, glaciers, and waterfalls.
Extensive Fleet of Watercraft
Fish even the hardest to reach water. From pangas and catarafts to jet boats, our assortment of boats enables unrestricted access.
Expert Guides and Friendly Staff
An integral part of your stay is our talented guide team, who knows where the best fish hold. At the lodge, our staff brings the warmth of local personality.

Lodge Details
Riverfront Lodges in the Wilds of Patagonia
Along with the wide variety of fly fishing, you’ll also enjoy two distinct lodge settings. Set in the heart of the region’s Valdivian rainforest, Rio Yelcho Lodge is a riverside collection of casitas with wood-burning stoves and private bathrooms, plus glacier views, an outdoor hot tub, and a sauna. Further south is Rio Rosselot Lodge, a spacious home base with private rooms, bathrooms, wraparound decks, and a hot tub.
Rio Yelcho Lodge
- Five private cabins configured for twin or king beds with en suite bathrooms, wood-burning stoves, and outdoor decks
- A main lodge with a dining area, fully stocked bar, and deck offering glacier and river views
- Two hot tubs and a sauna
- On-property boat dock and wader room
Rio Rosselot Lodge
- Five double rooms configured for twin or king beds with en suite bathrooms and river views
- Terrace seating on wraparound decks
- Spacious living room with a fully stocked bar and wood-burning stove
- Hot tub

Seasonal Weather Patterns and Fishing Conditions
Here’s generally what to expect throughout Martín Pescador’s summer season, which runs from January through the end of March.
Early Season (January)
Come for the famous dragonfly hatch, when large trout jump and can then be targeted with dries. With higher water and aggressive trout, eeling, dry dropper rigs, and throwing streamers are also effective.
Mid-Season (February)
Warmer weather, stable water levels, and insect hatches mean peak dry fly season. Suspended trout in eddies will be rising to mayflies, caddis, and terrestrials.
Late-Season (March)
Trout become aggressive as they prepare for winter, making this prime time for targeting trophy browns. Dry fly fishing also continues to be effective, especially on warmer days.
