Welcome to Puma Fishing Lodge

PUMA FISHING LTDA. operates in Chilean Patagonia's fjord land region based in the Yelcho watershed which is considered by many anglers and fish biologists to be home of the largest resident Rainbows, Browns, and Brook trout in all of the Patagonia.  In addition to the three trout species, this area also has significant populations of Steelhead, Sea Run Browns, Atlantic Salmon, Chinook (king) Salmon, and Coho (silver) Salmon.

We were one of the very first operations in this region with our floating lodge in Lago Yelcho in 1989.  Lago Yelcho is a 28 mile long lake with 7 rivers flowing into it (including the Futaleufu) and Rio Yelcho coming out of the lake on its 50 mile journey to the Pacific Ocean near Chaiten.  In 1998, we built a beautiful lodge on the Yelcho River halfway between the lake and the ocean.  From these two base operations we fish various rivers, lakes and estuaries; therefore we have a wide range of options available for the time of year and weather conditions to maximize your angling experience.  All of this in a breathtaking setting of virgin forests, glaciers, magnificent mountains, and volcanoes!
