The Rio Grande is the largest river on the Tierra del Fuego island, and is well know for its huge seatrout and the solitude of the countryside. It's an excellent river for flyfishing, sometimes more challenging and rewarding than downstream in Argentina, due to the different techniques and finesse that have to be enployed. The water is much clearer, mantains it's clarity, even in higher flows. The fishing is also rewarding because there's always action.
Our lodge is the Estancia Cameron's recently refurbished administration house, built on a high cliff, with a great view over the Darwin Range and less than one hundred yards from the Río Grande. This Estancia has about fifty kilometers of frontage on the north side of the Río Grande (all the way down stream to the Argentinean border), with Ted Turner´s Estancia San José neighboring on the "other side of the fence". Cameron's water is almost identical to our downriver neighbor's section, for those who have already fished there.

ITINERARY

Meeting at the Pampa Guanaco or Porvenir airfields or at the Punta Arenas and Río Grande Airports, your choice! After lunch a brief siesta (nap), and then a ride for the evening's fishing. The lodge itself has six double bedrooms with private bathrooms, and a nice living/dining room with a cozy fireplace- very welcome after a long days fishing! The daily menu includes regional Chilean meals very rich in seafood, like king crab, mussels, scallops, calamari, clams, (collected at the Punta Arenas area) and, of course, the popular beef or lamb asado (Tierra del Fuego is a hoof and mouth disease-free zone). Cocktails, like the typical Chilean "Pisco Sour", and the justifiably famous Chilean wines are served with dinner<
