Fishing near Osorno, Los Lagos

Osorno sits in the Los Lagos region of Chilean northern Patagonia, surrounded by a dense network of rivers and lakes fed by Andean snowmelt and volcanic terrain. The Río Rahue runs directly through the city, while the Río Bueno, Río Pilmaiquén, and Río Chirre are among the nearby rivers known for trout and salmon. Lago Puyehue and Lago Llanquihue anchor the stillwater fishing in the area. The region draws fly fishers in particular for its relatively uncrowded waters and the size of fish found in both rivers and lake mouths.
