Lago Navarino sits at the heart of Isla Navarino in the remote Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Region of Chile, one of the most southerly fishing destinations on the planet. Nestled between Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego to the north and Cape Horn to the south, this lake is part of the Commune of Cabo de Hornos — the southernmost commune in the world. The island reaches elevations up to 1,195 meters at its highest point, and the rugged, sub-Antarctic landscape surrounding the lake defines both its character and its fishing. Lago Navarino is well known among serious fly fishers as a productive and relatively untouched water body, with salmon trout found in abundance throughout the lake.

Lago Navarino itself is the most well-known fishing destination on the island for brook trout. The lake's inlets and outlet areas, where moving water concentrates fish, are particularly productive zones. On the broader island, the Windhond watershed holds both brown and rainbow trout, and the Robalo River below its dam supports rainbow trout. The Guanaco, Mejillones, Pilushejan, and Douglas Rivers are also noted trout-holding drainages on the island, rounding out a diverse array of fishing options within reach of Puerto Williams.
