Futa Lodge |
|
Futa Lodge is located near the border of Chile in a very remorte area of Chile. The Ftaleufu river is only accessible through our Estancia and then we utiilze rafts to aceess other parts of the river by drifting. The dry fly fishing is incredible with 15-20 inch fish crashing large attrator patterns like a CHernobyl ants. One of the favorite foods of these trout is a large beetle that is present through out the season so like hopper fishing, a wel placed cast near the edge of the river can bring a large fish to the surface. After reading this page you may want some more details by using the links found on the top right part of this page, these links will overlay a specific detail page. For some pictures try out our new fly fishing photo gallery topics also in the right side bar. Futa Lodge is located in the most secluded valley inthe Patagonia. Absolutely the most romantic lodge in the world, sleeps a maximum of six anglers, with its remoteness and stunning mountains, free rising very obedient browns and rainbows, Barn dance and Barbeque with a few locals for color and dancing during the week… Fishing at FUTA is like stepping back in time... The countryside is reminiscent of Montana or Colorado at the turn of the last century. The magnificent Coyhue forests around the lodge have seen no felling of timber and the fields are still cut with scythes. The fishing itself is some of the purest wild fly‐fishing for rainbows and browns anywhere in the world. Each and every trout that you catch is a perfect representation of its specie. The Futaleufu is a river that has a multitude of different types of water and styles of fishing. One minute your guide will be rowing you down fase stretches where you’ll fish a streamer to overhanging trees to tempt big browns from their hiding places and the next you’ll be fishing from the bank having stalked a wary pod of rainbows as they sip tiny dry flies from the surface. For those who want to, we will make horse treks to the river from the lodge, which is a real treat as you can admire the scenery and wildlife at a slow pace without the engine noise that scares away birds and animals. The Futaleufu valley is a place to be close to nature and to be part of a way of life that is increasingly hard to find anywhere in the world. It’s a place to forget the mundane pressures of everyday life, whilst enjoying some of the world’s best wild trout fishing and staying in comfort and style at Futa lodge. |
