Fly Patterns for Patagonia

Some of the Aquatic Insects Species in Patagonia are very similar to what can be found in the Northern Hemisphere, but trout and salmon have adapted themselves to feed on local insect populations as well as other small invertebrates and small fish. That's why some of the classic flies that you might already be using, can be productive as well in these waters. But local flyfishermen have developed a series of new fly patterns, especillay adapted to Patagonian Fishes, always looking for perfect imitations of natural food, and also searching for the right attractive combination that triggers the fishes response.

This section is devoted to present some of the most productive flies in flyfishing for trout and salmon in Patagonia.

Dry Flies

Hopper Patterns

Wet Flies and Nymphs

Charly Stone. A stonefly nymph pattern designed after the most abundant Plecoptera species in Southamerica.
San Dragon. An interesting and very effective dragonfly nymph pattern.

Streamers

Sando Sardine. Migratory fish roam the southern fjords of Patagonia, and this streamer makes a great job teasing them into hitting it.

Featured Fly Pattern

Saltamontes Austral
Some of the most amazing dry fly patterns to fish are Hoppers. Especially in hot summer days, which are present in Patagonian Waters. Small to medium rivers are home to some of the most agressive rainbow and brown trout which feed eagerly on desperate grasshoppers, blown away from nearby grass fields when the strong winds arise.
