FLY FISHING EXPEDITIONS

Are we in Chile or Hawaii?Trout attacks anglers foot!

OUR TEAM IN ACTION!

Trout eyeing nice reelIn 1966, our founder made his first fly-fishing expedition to Chile. During the last decade, he invited fly-fishing friends and other well-known fly fishermen from the Pacific Northwest to explore, enjoy and “decode” this unique fishery in southern Chile and Argentina. Over 3,200 acres on Chilean and Argentine waters were acquired based on these exploratory fishing expeditions and their discoveries. These locations are a result of their combined experience and what these experts consider to be the “best” of the best” fly-fishing in the Patagonia.

As stories spread and interest grew, our founder was encouraged to make this opportunity available to other fly-fishing enthusiasts as well. Southern Chile Expeditions was thus born. If your interest is fly-fishing rivers and lakes, saltwater estuaries or both, you deserve the best the Patagonia has to offer and that is what we have awaiting you.

We invited Jeff Edvalds, a well known fly-fishing photographer toSea Bow underwater accompany Dale DePriest, Jack Mitchell and Guy Fullart on a fly-fishing expedition through our fishing grounds to visually portray what we have awaiting you. See the 8 page layout in the October, 1999 Gray’s Sporting Journal and the Sept/Oct cover of Fly Rod & Reel for more of the photographs Jeff produced on this trip.

Rather than illustrate the potential of our fishery through a collection of “once in a lifetime” fish caught by selected clients over a number of years, the photos on these pages are of a SINGLE FLY-FISHING EXPEDITION! They illustrate a few of our favorite fishing locations and a small sample of Dale, Jack and Guy’s results on the expedition. You’ll recognize all of the individuals in these pages as being the same--only the locations and the fish are different.

We truly believe photographs ARE worth MORE than a thousand words!

Relaxing in splendorOur premier staff of fly-fishing guides will enable you to enjoy this experience to its full potential. During the fly-fishing season in the Northern Hemisphere, our North American guides work with Fishing Pursuits, owners of Mission Lodge, Alaska West and Alaska Kingfishers Lodges in Alaska, and with The Evening Hatch of Washington State. Our multilingual Chilean guides have numerous years of angling experience on our local waters and provide real competion to our guides from the North.

Fishing Pursuits, under the leadership of Dale DePriest, has an outstanding reputation for its Alaskan trout and salmon fly-fishing guides. Jack Mitchell’s company, The Evening Hatch, is acclaimed and recognized as the premier fly-fishing guide service on the Yakima River. They have been featured on the Discovery Channel and ESPN.

Our guests have been extremely pleased with the professionalism and expertise of our guides. Their ability to tie and match the hatch is among, if not the best, in Chile.
