Fishing near San Clemente, Maule

San Clemente sits in the Maule region of central Chile, surrounded by some of the country's most productive freshwater fishing. The area is defined by its rivers: the Río Maule, Río Claro, Río Achibueno, and Río Putagán run through or near the commune, and Lago Colbún lies close by — a large reservoir known for trout and other freshwater species. This is primarily a river and lake fishing scene, drawing anglers after trout in cold, fast-moving Andean waters.
