Lago Rosselot is a stunning Patagonian lake nestled within the Lago Rosselot National Reserve in the Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Region of Chilean Patagonia. Designated as a protected reserve in 1983 and administered by the Corporación Nacional Forestal (CONAF), the reserve covers approximately 12,302 hectares and sits within the broader hydrographic system of the Río Palena. The lake is surrounded by mountains draped in temperate rainforest — including native coigüe, ulmo, and arrayán trees — and its remarkably clear waters reflect snow-capped peaks and dense vegetation. Located near the Carretera Austral and close to the town of La Junta, Lago Rosselot is one of the more accessible remote Patagonian lakes in the region, making it a premier destination for fly fishing and ecotourism. The lake is part of the Río Rosselot drainage, which ultimately flows into the Río Palena before reaching the Pacific Ocean.

The foam lines and scum lines across the open lake surface are the primary fish-holding and feeding zones, and locating and fishing these features is the central strategy on Lago Rosselot. The confluence area near where the Río Rosselot meets the Río Palena is also noted as a particularly productive and scenic area. On the Río Rosselot itself, the long drifts through freestone water offer consistent opportunities for large browns and rainbows throughout the river's course.
