Brothers Gaston and Claudio Urrejola may be the most talented, multi-faceted lodge owners we have ever met. Between them they can do virtually anything including building a spectacular lodge themselves and then turning that into one of the best-run fly fishing and multi-sport lodges in South America. Located just outside of the regional capital of Coyhaique, an area widely considered Chile’s trout fishing mecca, this first-class modern facility sets the standard for premier fly fishing lodges in Chilean Patagonia. The lodge’s program offers a diverse and exciting array of excellent trout fishing opportunities, including lots of private access fishing properties, as well as a wide range of outdoor experiences including hiking, mountain biking, rafting and horseback riding. In short, they have something for everyone, and they do it all with expertise and care.
Coyhaique River Lodge’s setting – where the rolling foothills reach up towards the Andes – is truly spectacular. With first-class accommodations and meals, a convenient location, a staff that prides itself on superior service, and a long list of available angling and adventure options, this operation has earned a special place in the hearts of its clients for the all the right reasons.
There are more than 50 distinct beats that Coyhaique River Lodge guests fish over the course of a season. Of those, there are roughly 15 staples, the majority of which offer private access. Most of these private land use agreements originate with down-home community relations in which neighbor needs help cutting a road, harvesting trees, or managing their cattle. Always capable and happy to help, this often leads the brothers to land exclusive access rights to trophy rainbow lakes, small walk and wade gems, or special put-ins on rivers that few others float. In a land where anglers are already relatively few and far between, these arrangements will virtually assure that guests have days with a beautiful spring creek, river, or lake entirely to themselves.
