The Lodge
About the property
Full of nonstop action, endless access, extreme variety, and world-renowned trout, this multi-lodge angling experience is our most unique, and arguably most exciting, fly fishing program. Two strategically located lodges put guests at the heart of an extensive assortment of fisheries, including Río and Lago Yelcho, Río Futaleufú, Río and Lago Rosselot, Río Figueroa, Río Pico, and others that are too numerous to list, while jet boats, rafts, catarafts, and hybrid power drifters deliver never-repeated days. Martín Pescador Lodge was designed to up the ante on anyone’s idea of a great day on the water, with a view and a Pisco sour to top it all off.
The 7-day itinerary begins and ends on a Saturday, with half of the experience based out of Martín Pescador’s northernmost lodge, Rio Yelcho. Set on a beautiful bend of the Río Yelcho, the lodge’s cozy cabins each include en suite bathrooms, wood burning stoves, and decks with striking views of the pristine water and nearby glaciers. Anglers can depart directly by boat to access Río Yelcho and Lago Yelcho, with additional proximity to Río Futaleufú.
The other portion of your trip will be experienced from Rio Rosselot Lodge, another riverfront lodge situated further south that delivers entirely new angling opportunities. This spacious, beautifully crafted lodge blends traditional aesthetics with contemporary architecture and offers immaculate views from wraparound decks. Here you’ll enjoy access to Río Rosselot, Río Figueroa and Río Pico, in addition to a myriad of smaller rivers and lakes.
If you’re looking to experience more of Patagonia, head over to our sister property Rio Palena Lodge, another anglers’ top choice with award-winning accommodations and extensive adventures that cater to everyone in your group.

Sleep
Marked by rustic natural wood and colorful splashes of textured accents, the rooms at Rio Yelcho Lodge and Rio Rosselot Lodge are as cozy as they are convenient. Along with the sound of rising fish just outside your window, these wood-heated retreats provide breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness and all of the delightful amenities that guests crave after a long day on the water.
Hang Space
Rio Yelcho Lodge’s main lodge is situated just a short walk from the cabins and welcomes guests to gather and swap fishing stories amidst a dapper space with countless windows. Rio Rosselot Lodge’s wraparound decks delight guests with views of untouched landscapes, including the Melimoyu Volcano and regional farming land. The large living room rejuvenates guests with inviting couches and signature cocktails in the glow of a wood-burning stove.
Eat & Drink
The cuisine at Martín Pescador Lodge is as highly valued as the fishing. Expect locally grown ingredients from neighboring farms, local butcheries, and our own greenhouses to serve as the foundation of flavorful Chilean and international dishes. The chef’s culinary creativity packs a flavorful punch in every bite, from made-to-order breakfasts and riverside lunches to three-course dinners and Chilean-style barbeques, or “asados” as they’re called locally.
Angling in Chile
Martín Pescador Lodge has a well-earned reputation for guiding anglers to a multitude of highly sought-after trout. The seven-day program is split between two distinct lodges, with a seamless midweek transfer day that’s handled—luggage and all—by our team. The two locations access two distinct regions, where you’ll fish for large rainbows, browns, brook trout, and the occasional anadromous species. Lifetime catches of 23+ inches are frequently a weekly occurrence. An extensive fleet of boats and vehicles places anglers on Patagonia’s most wild, untouched stretches, where casting big streamers, sight-casting to cruising rainbows, and throwing dry flies make for action-packed days. Combine the diversity of water, notorious wild trout, and an angling program that leaves no stretch unexplored, and you’ve got a truly unique Patagonian angling experience.
