Patagonia Fly Fishing Odyssey 2028 – Chile & Argentina

JOIN FLY FISHING PATAGONIA FOR THE 3RD EDITION OF OUR 2028 PATAGONIA FISHING ODYSSEY!

Seven Weeks.   Five World-class Destinations.   Two Countries.   One Epic Fishing Adventure.

Our 2028 Odyssey begins in Chile, where three legendary lodges deliver exceptional brown trout fishing and dramatic landscapes. Afterwards, we cross the border into Argentina to chase giant king salmon in glacial waters and brown and brook trout easting mice in small waters.  As always, our dates are built around peak fishing and the hatches that make this trip special — including Chile’s biannual Cantaria Beetle hatch and the king salmon run on the Rio Guanaco.

Join us for one week or stack several — each fishery can stand on it’s own, but stack any two consecutive weeks and your adventure hits epic level. The thrill of crossing from one extraordinary fishery into the next, sometimes one country into the next, is only part of what makes this 2028 Patagonia Fishing Odyssey extraordinary.

Pick the weeks that call to you, and contact us to learn more!

“Had the best time this year in Chile and walked away with the fondest memories. Best Patagonia trip we’ve done with you and I am glad we got to share the adventure this time. Knew I had to return after day 1, but next time I have to get my wife to come see it!”
