World class fly fishing on a variety of rivers and lakes. Natural beauty beyond anything that I have ever seen. Glacers, blue green water, mountains, valleys, lakes, and rivers so beautiful it takes your breath away and makes you cry. It’s a place where my cup runneth over and it restored my soul. Five star meals prepared by Chef Carolina, the finest chef in Chile, and served with fine Chilean wines. First Class Lodging on the bank of the Rio Futilafu with beautiful snowcap mountains and meadows all around.

Our guide, Nick Lawton, provided ten days of fly fishing on rivers and lakes that were varied in their challenges, beauty, and techniques. Walking and Wading, drift boats, and trolling for big trout on two spectacular lakes. Gourmet stream side lunches with table and chairs, homemade hot chili, grilled sausages, potato salad, and grilled skewers of beef/vegetables.

Nick navigated the boat back and forth across streams, lakes, and through fast water with the greatest of ease. He shared many techniques on flies, knots, strategy, casting, and where the fish feed. He shared many stories of his incredible life as fly fishing guide around the world.

Nick, Carolina, and his staff worked so hard from first light till late night insuring that every detail was covered from equipment, gear, clothing, glasses, food, and so much more. It was truly a privilege to get to know this crew and to have experienced the most wonderful vacation of my life. I will keep a place in my heart for all of them and all of the Chilean people that I met on this trip. They are all so beautiful and such great ambassadors of Chile. And to Nick’s partner, Avear, I say Ol Boy!

I can’t say enough to express my gratitude to Nick and his wife Carolina for this trip. They not only exceeded my expectations with the excellent fishing and lodging, but were also passionate guides to the culture, food and surreal beauty of Chilean Patagonia. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to mark fishing in Patagonia off their “bucket list”.

The trip with Patagonia Trout Adventures was incredible. I was awe struck by the beauty of this area of Patagonia. Nick Lawton, our guide and owner of the outfitter, was spot on on his choice of rivers to fish. We had the opportunity to seek out large powerful browns and rainbows .... stripping and site fishing ... plus hopper dropper combos. As for the accommodations .... they were fantastic. The meals prepared by Chef Carolina were outstanding with a mixture of local fare to tasty international dishes. I believe she could anything and it would be fantastic. If you are looking to travel to a beautiful area world ... see some of the best scenery you will lay your eyes on .... fish pristine rivers with a very talented guide and eat some great food .... look no further than Patagonia Trout Adventures.

This was a bucket list trip for me to fish Patagonia. I have been planning this trip for a while and Nick was able to make every aspect of this adventure live up to the dreams that I thought that it might be! Nick is a great guide and is patient with those of us that struggle with casting a heavy streamer, but he puts you on so many different types of water that you can be extremely successful with dry flies too! We caught lots of great fish! But that was just the fishing. The food, lodging, and travel plans are what made the trip a complete 5-stars! Totally great experience. Now, I have to figure out how to go back. I sure want to!!!

I can’t say enough about what an enriching experience it was to make my second trip to Patagonia Chile with Patagonia Trout Adventures. Yes it’s an incredible fly fishing experience, but traveling and experiencing Patagonia is far more. Nick and Carolina embrace the traditions of Chile and offer a truly local experience from the fishing to Carolinas wonderful traditional culinary creations. The local guides Javier and Franco were incredible and the lodge owners and hosts Benjamin and Elisa are truly wonderful. All in all, the details and logistics were very well planned, the food and lodging are first rate. Nick and the guides intimate knowledge of the local waters make for a unique fishing experience in the one of the most beautiful and pristine places on earth. I highly recommend Patagonia Trout Adventures for anyone passionate about fly fishing and seeking the adventure of a life time and a true Chilean Patagonia cultural experience. This will not be a bucket list trip because you will want to return. Jeff Rog

A truly special place and people we have connected with through Patagonia Trout Adventures (PTA). Nick Lawton and his life long passion for chasing feisty trout really has opened up my eyes to what I now consider one of the most "striking" (pun fully intended) places on earth. If you like remote adventure smothered in an abundance of first class trout fishing opportunities and accommodations; PTA is sure to please. The boats and equipment have been custom tailored for the rugged environments and massive hydraulics that Nick, his guides and the big fish most certainly thrive in. Nicks 16 years of local experience provides you with top notch local & English speaking guides as well as a select variety of unique dialed in patterns and techniques. This adventure team is guaranteed to peak the interest of the local and legendary "Juan Grande" and those ever remarkable "Rainbow Rolls of Foil". VIVA PTA! BUENO!

What an amazing week in Patagonia with Nick and Carolina. The accommodations were clean comfortable and friendly. The most amazing stars from the deck. The food was fantastic. A combination of Chilean specialties with Carolina's refined flair. Of course Nick knew the rivers and the fishery and we slammed them. He is the best guide I have ever fished with. The mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, colors and clarity if the water was beautiful. Epic. Don't just put it on your bucket list, do it!

Patagonia Trout Adventures is a first class operation made up of world class trout guides in Nick, Kris and Greg, an extraordinary chef, Carolina, wonderful accommodations and incredible access to phenomenal pristine trout water! All details of our trip were extremely well planned and comunicated from travel into Chile to travel out. The fishing was spectacular on amazingly beautiful and pristine rivers and streams with literally no other fisherman in sight. The incredible fishing was accompanied by a stay in a rustic, comfortable lodge with modern amenities offering incredible views and the warmth of lodge owners Benjamin and Elise. Throughout our stay, Chef Carolina delighted our senses with incredibly prepared locally sourced meals that rivaled the beauty of the landscape and the amazing fishing experience. One of the things I found most enjoyable was their focus on local traditions and customs which elevated the overall enjoyment of the journey for me! You will learn how to properly pass the mate!

The fishing program was truly awesome and unique as we visited three rivers in three separate drainages. Nick, Kris and Greg are the nucleus of the team and have extensive and intimate knowledge of these waters. One of the highlights of our trip was a two day overnight experience at a private cabin with comfortable beds, full kitchen and bath with hot water and a shower. It also had a fire pit and wood fired hot tub for the most incredible star gazing imaginable! Classic way to ease the shoulder after a day of chucking streamers to big trout relaxing under the watchful eye of Orion and the Southern Cross! Overall, this is a great team, adventure and experience that I could not recommend more highly!

PTA was first class in every respect from the fishing,accommodations the food and the expertise and knowledge of Patagonia. Nick Lawton and his team are incredible hosts that make it a trip of a lifetime. The guides Kris and Greg are the best and Nicks wife Carolina is a first class chef making the dining experience memorable. They are the hardest working team I have ever encountered,simply the best.

A unique and memorable experience. Great fishing, wonderful accommodations, delicious food and terrific company. For those of us used to crowds and full contact fishing, it's amazing to be alone on such beautiful water. We were well taken care of by Nick, his wife, our guides Kris and Gregg and everyone we met. Can't wait to go back!
