Truly understanding a culture with limited time and information would be impossible and I mean no disrespect.&nbsp; I just prefer Blue Towers as the translation.&nbsp; And, if \u2018half-Googled\u2019 hasn\u2019t been used before, I would like to be accredited ;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving the town of Puerto Natales heading towards the mountains, you veer to the left placing you on a dirt road for most of the drive.&nbsp; With the remoteness of this road, you get the feeling of an incredible adventure ahead. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rounding a curve, I stopped to take this picture realizing why I traveled this distance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"693\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-7.png?resize=693%2C520&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-7.png?w=693&amp;ssl=1 693w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-7.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I arrived at the lodge early in the morning.&nbsp; I apologized to Patrick in my introduction, knowing check-in wasn\u2019t appropriate at this hour. &nbsp;I asked if he could offer advice on the river, a place to fish and I would return later in the afternoon.&nbsp; We were both equally confused as he didn\u2019t have a room available for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just drove over 5 \u00bd hours to get there and, for a brief moment, started to doubt the entire trip based on my limited and poor planning.&nbsp; Although I was very calm and composed about my potential error in judgment, now seemed the appropriate time for an age-old question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would you rather be lucky or good?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s very similar in a way to the question posed after the first Gilligan\u2019s Island episode debuted: \u2018Mary Ann or Ginger?\u2019.&nbsp; What they have in common is the correct answer to either question is \u2018both\u2019.&nbsp; Yet somehow there\u2019s an unwritten rule that you can only choose one.&nbsp; So, I\u2019ll answer the first question posed, I\u2019d rather be good but will happily take any luck that comes my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that said, luck was the only thing that was going to save me at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I left out a very important part of this story\u2026&nbsp; There\u2019s a reason I drove 5 \u00bd hours north to fish and stay on this river.&nbsp; Adolfo mentioned Patrick has been a fishing guide in southern Chile and Argentina for many years.&nbsp; I literally pinned my hopes on a successful fishing trip throughout this region by gaining some of his knowledge and guidance.&nbsp; Although he had no inclination of this, he\u2019s a good person and somehow sensed I needed help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a very remote region, and everybody knows everybody.&nbsp; He said one of his friends who owns a neighboring lodge had a room for the night, maybe two.&nbsp; He explained the river access process with the National Park and said, \u2018go fishing for the day, I\u2019ll get you a good rate and we\u2019ll discuss options when you return\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After entering the Park, I stopped to take my first picture of the Rio Serrano in this specific spot for a reason.&nbsp; I\u2019ve seen a similar picture in flyfishing advertisements.&nbsp; So, I parked my VW diesel 4&#215;4 to recreate the scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"917\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-8.png?resize=917%2C315&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1701\" style=\"width:1006px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-8.png?w=917&amp;ssl=1 917w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-8.png?resize=300%2C103&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-8.png?resize=768%2C264&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo on the right provided by: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/chile\/torres-del-paine\/fishing\">https:\/\/www.swoop-patagonia.com\/chile\/torres-del-paine\/fishing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although I may not be on the exact spot, I\u2019m in the neighborhood and quite frankly, the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fishing w\/ Guides:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want to be crystal clear on this point\u2026 I 100% support local guides and companies providing services helping anglers find success in unfamiliar waters.&nbsp; If you have limited time and an unlimited budget, this is by far the best option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Limited Budget:<\/strong>  Don\u2019t let the price of the trips you have read about in magazines stop you from going on these fishing adventures.&nbsp; It\u2019s not nearly as expensive as you might think.&nbsp; When I travel to a new river, I normally hire a guide for a day to give me the lay of the land before heading out on my own.&nbsp; However, this was not an option on this trip.&nbsp; After the final post, I\u2019ll share a spreadsheet with the costs.&nbsp; Remember, I didn\u2019t say it was cheap, just less than you might have thought.&nbsp; Also, if you have another fisherman along, the price of the car, hotel, etc. is cut in half and almost every place I stayed for the night had two rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fly Fishing v. Spinning:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve said in numerous posts, I\u2019m not a purist and will do whatever it takes to catch fish based on the conditions.&nbsp; However, I was going to Patagonia. I was almost dead set on bringing fly rods only; and thank God I didn\u2019t.&nbsp; It was a solo trip, and one person can only handle so many bags. So, bringing a checked rod holder with my quality spinning rods wasn\u2019t a great option.&nbsp; The day before my departure, I decided to buy an average travel rod that would fit into my only checked bag.&nbsp; It\u2019s the only one I could find with the time constraint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most importantly, the wind gusting over 60mph at times, was a major and overwhelming factor for most of the trip.&nbsp; If you\u2019re going to fly 5,461 miles (8,788km) to fish, in my opinion, you leave yourself an option.&nbsp; It may not be as romantic, pure, pristine, or however else you wish to describe it, but at least you\u2019re fishing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First Fish of the Trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-9.png?resize=699%2C454&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1703\" style=\"width:678px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-9.png?w=699&amp;ssl=1 699w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-9.png?resize=300%2C195&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After my first day of successful fishing in Chile, I returned to talk to Patrick and figure out where I would stay for the next few nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-10.png?resize=676%2C453&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-10.png?w=676&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-10.png?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My accommodations at his friend\u2019s lodge were perfect.&nbsp; I had a two-bedroom cabin with a full kitchen.&nbsp; I would have stayed and fished for another week had the room been available.&nbsp; This region becomes extremely busy throughout their limited season and attracts guests from around the world.&nbsp; Everything here is well worth the journey, but book in advance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fishing the Serrano: <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was one of my best fishing and travel experiences ever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fishing area in the park is different from the standard entrance.&nbsp; You sign into an additional ledger allowing access to a road following the river. &nbsp;On the first day, there was only one other vehicle in this section which covers a few miles. &nbsp;They were only there for a short period of time, and we were never closer than a quarter mile.&nbsp; When I signed in the next morning, no one was at the river, and I literally signed my name in the ledger right below the day prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patrick mentioned he might have time to fish on the second day around 6pm.&nbsp; During this time of year, it stays light until about 9:30pm.&nbsp; After catching the biggest fish of the trip so far, I met Patrick and showed him this picture from the morning of day two:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"556\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-11.png?resize=556%2C417&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-11.png?w=556&amp;ssl=1 556w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-11.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chile: Serrano River Day 2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zJKHqHwB_W8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

He was gracious enough to let me pick the first fishing spot as I was still smiling and probably overconfident with my success earlier in the day.&nbsp; We waded into the area and within two casts, we were both hooked up on a large Brown Trout and managed to land both fish. &nbsp;I have the video and pics which I will be sharing in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Local knowledge:<\/strong> It can\u2019t be and should never be underestimated.&nbsp; As daylight was winding down, Patrick took me to a spot on the upper river that I would not have thought to fish without his guidance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the last fish of the night:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-12.png?resize=406%2C734&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-12.png?w=406&amp;ssl=1 406w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-12.png?resize=166%2C300&amp;ssl=1 166w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a reason this picture is important to me.&nbsp; It encompasses the entire essence of why I traveled so far: catching a trophy fish in one of the most amazing areas ever.&nbsp; You might be able to Photoshop the background, or the perfect Brown Trout I\u2019m holding, but no one in their right mind would Photoshop the chunky old gringo in the middle fortunate enough to have been there.&nbsp; Most importantly, it was a catharsis.&nbsp; Because, no matter what else might happen on the rest of the trip, I had this moment\u2026 and it can\u2019t be taken away. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trout release with a smile:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chile: Serrano River Brown Trout Release #shorts #fishing\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6WkAkGMo5n0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

After weighing the wind and the remoteness of Tierra del Fuego, I decided to alter my plans, return to Punta Arenas, and fly to Balmaceda for the remainder of the trip. There is no doubt in my mind I will return here.&nbsp; However, it will be in late January or early February based on the winds and river levels.&nbsp; I will also return and fish Tierra del Fuego in Chile and Argentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"448\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-13.png?resize=448%2C328&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-13.png?w=448&amp;ssl=1 448w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-13.png?resize=300%2C220&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, as for the other question\u2026 It\u2019s 100% Mary Ann.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The writer recounts their journey to the Patagonian Torres del Paine, choosing the translation &#8220;Blue Towers&#8221; for its majesty.
