Fishing in Torres del Paine

If you're looking to top off your Torres del Paine adventure with a day or two fishing, the Hotel Remota and Singular Patagonia Hotel near the gateway to the national park both offer dedicated fishing programmes with experienced guides who can take you to all the best spots. All fishing gear is provided. 

Outings vary from half day to full day, often visiting a few different rivers, streams, pools and lakes to encounter brown trout, brook trout or rainbow trout, as well as the possibility of the mighty chinook salmon when migrating up river at the height of the Patagonian summer.

Spend a day in the company of the passionate experts who know exactly what Torres del Paine's rivers and lakes can offer. Our local guides take the time to understand what's important to you from your fishing experience and can inspire you with their favourite spots, and the best places for stunning views.

No matter where you’re staying, our fishing guides can show you a large variety of locations, to help you target the fish you’re dreaming of catching – all overlooked by one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world.

Challenge yourself with a day or more spent fly fishing Torres del Paine's most coveted prizes, from sea-run trout to a 30kg Chinook salmon. The winds on the Serrano River means that these can be challenging waters, but the fish here are more than worth the chase.

From mid-December, the chinook salmon here can be of an enormous size: catches from 22 to 44 pounds (10-20 kg) aren’t uncommon, with fish even up to 66 pounds (30 kg) not unknown.

Take a few days to really immerse yourself in the dramatic landscape, and experience the variety that Torres del Paine and Puerto Natales have to offer – and really getting to learn the fish that run here. Multi-day itineraries let you experience the best of the region, even travelling as far south to the rivers around Punta Arenas. 

Alternatively, it's possible to combine your time fishing in Torres del Paine with a few days in some of Patagonia's other fishing spots in the region. Options include the Chilean Lake District, with the prospect of casting under the shadow of Osorno Volcano, or along Junin de los Andes, the spiritual home of Patagonian trout fishing, or in Aysen, with the Baker River full of rainbow trout and some delightful fishing lodges.
