TackleFly Rods:
Multi-piece 7, 6 or 5 wt. rods will cover most of the fishing situations you will encounter in Chile. We strongly recommend bringing a minimum of 2 rods. One for streamer fishing (ie. 7 wt.) and the other for dries and nymphs (ie.5 wt). Fly Reels: Good quality, lightweight fly reels, with simple disk drags or pawl drags are the best choice. Reels should be filled with fresh 20 pound backing. Fly Lines: You will basically need two fly lines, a weight forward floater, for dries and nymphs and a sink tip fly line (Tenny 200 or similar) for streamers. Leaders and Tippets: For a week’s fishing you will need no less than four tapered leaders 9 ft. 3X, for your floating line and four 7ft. 2X leaders for your sinking fly lines. For tippet you should bring fresh spools from 6X to 2X. |

Clothing
The weather in Chilean Patagonia is constantly changing. One day it can be 80 degrees and sunny and the next day rainy, damp and in the low 40’s or cooler with a stiff breeze, and all these can happen in a matter of hours. Therefore, clothing strategy should be based on the “layering system”.
