Fishing near Cochrane, Aysén

Cochrane sits in the Aysén region of Chilean Patagonia, surrounded by some of the most productive trout water on the continent. The Río Baker — the largest river in Patagonia — runs just outside town, and the Río Cochrane, Lago Cochrane, Lago Bertrand, and Río Chacabuco are all within easy reach. The area is best known for trophy brown trout and strong rainbow trout fishing across a mix of spring-creek-style rivers, large freestone runs, and deep glacial lakes.
