The PUMA (floating lodge)

The Original custom built lodge was retired in 2006 and a new custom built lodge will be
The New Puma Lodge
ready for the 2007 - 2008 season.  The PUMA handles 6 fisherpersons in double occupancy cabins and a crew of 5.  Each cabin has its own bathroom and shower.  The PUMA travels the entire lake fishing the various rivers and bays from Chilean wooden skiffs pulled behind the PUMA.  Thus you can fully experience some of the most incredible dry fly lake fishing in the world to cruising and rising Rainbows, Browns, and Brooks.  The average size of the Rainbows and Browns in the lake is 2 - 7 lbs with double digit fish not uncommon.  The salmon species are also present periodically for your enjoyment.  Fishing this lake has been called "the best flats fishing one can experience in fresh water" by several of our clients that shallow salt water fish - AND IT IS DRY FLY FISHING!  Besides the beautiful scenery, fantastic fishing and the ability to move the lodge to protected bays and river mouths there are two additional advantages of the PUMA - the fisherperson that is unable or prefers not to walk and wade only has to walk back to the back of the PUMA and get in the skiff and go fishing.  AND the fishing is only a few minutes away!
