Fishing near Panguipulli, Los Ríos

Panguipulli sits at the heart of Los Ríos, flanked by a chain of deep glacial lakes and fed by cold, clear rivers draining the Andes. Lago Panguipulli lies at the town's edge, while Lago Calafquén, Lago Riñihue, and the rivers connecting them draw anglers after rainbow trout, brown trout, and Chinook salmon. The broader lake district around the city is one of Chile's most productive trout fisheries, with both still-water trolling and river fly fishing well established.
