March at Martín Pescador is Prime Time for Patagonia Fly Fishing
If you can imagine British Columbia, the Yellowstone Country, or Nova Scotia during perfect weather conditions, that’s a good place to start picturing what Martín Pescador fishing lodge in Patagonia, Chile is like in March. The weather can be just about ideal, but still bring your raincoat, you never know! Add to that the universal migratory urge by big brown trout to venture up rivers and out of giant lakes in March, and you now have the perfect-world scenario for targeting an ever-increasing population of large trout. They are in prime shape and coloration, and your guides know exactly where they are.
Dual Fishing Lodges for Double the Action
The Martín Pescador fishing lodges offer a unique plan of attack for Patagonia fly fishing. Instead of fishing one region, we fish two, giving the guides and guests the advantage of twice as many options. Both fishing lodges are on world-class rivers, literally just a few steps away. How nice is it to finish a great, chef-prepared breakfast, and just stroll a few yards to your boat? Or, fish all day and walk a few yards to your room or hot tub where appetizers, Pisco Sours, and local beer are waiting. It sounds good, and it is, and has been functioning like this for 20 years.
Chow Down in Chilean Patagonia
If the fishing isn’t enough, the scenery is phenomenal. It’s the main reason many go to Chilean Patagonia in the first place. Another added bonus is that these trout rivers are fairly close to the ocean, so be prepared for what many people call the best seafood in the world. Steak night will blow your wading socks off, too. And did I mention the asado, a full lamb cooked by wood fire with cutting boards, big knives, gauchos, and guides on guitars? You know what I’m thinking? Why not just stay for two weeks!
