JOIN FLY FISHING PATAGONIA FOR THE 3RD EDITION OF OUR 2028 PATAGONIA FISHING ODYSSEY!
Six 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, before crossing the border into Argentina to chase giant king salmon alongside brown and brook trout. 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 — no two destinations are alike, so every consecutive week adds an entirely new chapter to the adventure. The thrill of crossing from one extraordinary fishery into the next, sometimes one country into the next, is what makes this trip unlike any other.
Pick the weeks that call to you, and contact us to learn more or Join The Adventure!
