Fishing near Llanquihue, Los Lagos

Llanquihue sits on the southwestern shore of Lago Llanquihue, one of the largest lakes in South America, in the Los Lagos region of Chilean Patagonia. The lake itself draws anglers for coho salmon, landlocked Atlantic salmon, and rainbow trout, while the nearby Río Maullín — which drains the lake — and the Río Petrohué add quality river fishing to the mix. The broader area, encompassing Lago Todos los Santos and a network of rivers and streams, is one of Chile's most recognized sport-fishing destinations.
