Classic Waters Program
Float and Fish Coyhaique’s Classic Trout Rivers and take Jet Boat Excursions to Hard Access Rivers and Lakes in Lush Glacial Valleys.
Designed to mirror some of the US West’s most iconic fishing lodges, Cinco Rios Lodge’s fishing program is as premier as its location. Anglers can experience large rivers, small creeks, lakes, and difficult to access waters in the beauty of Chilean Patagonia. The Classic Waters Program features a mix of float fishing, walk-and-wade angling, and jet boat trips.
Anglers will fish a variety of private rivers and streams that are fished exclusively by Cinco Rios clients and fish productive public water anglers that may include the Rio Simpson, Azul, La Paloma, Mañihuales, Aysen, Megote, Guillermo, and De Leon.
The scenery in this region is spectacular and Cinco Rios Lodge’s location on the banks of the Rio Simpson is the perfection location for this classic itinerary.
