The alternate southern route is technically a shorter distance, but you\u2019ll need to coordinate a ferry crossing to reach the town.&nbsp; Although tempted by a new route, I couldn\u2019t find reliable scheduling information on the ferry and couldn\u2019t take the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"324\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-5.png?resize=324%2C396&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-5.png?w=324&amp;ssl=1 324w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-5.png?resize=245%2C300&amp;ssl=1 245w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Puerto Ibanez is roughly 40 minutes off the main road heading back to the airport.&nbsp; To this point, I had traversed roughly 900kms (560 miles) on washboard dirt roads ironically listed as major highways on the map.&nbsp; Surprisingly, the smaller road leading to this sleepy little town was paved and in immaculately good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I arrived with plenty of daylight remaining to scout the river and make a few casts before returning to my lodging for the night.&nbsp; Choosing where to concentrate my angling effort was easy. &nbsp;You didn\u2019t need to be a rocket scientist or even the guy who fills up the rocket to grasp the obvious strategy. &nbsp;There is a waterfall blocking access and preventing any fish from continuing their migration upstream.&nbsp; So, in theory, all spawning fish would eventually congregate at this impasse.&nbsp; &nbsp;The only question was whether the sea-run trout had migrated this far upriver?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here were my three access options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:35%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"466\" height=\"619\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rio-ibanez-marked-map-4.jpg?resize=466%2C619&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rio-ibanez-marked-map-4.jpg?w=466&amp;ssl=1 466w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rio-ibanez-marked-map-4.jpg?resize=226%2C300&amp;ssl=1 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:65%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-stripes wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td>1.)

I didn\u2019t mention this in my other posts, but it was challenging finding a quality meal in the remote regions I had visited.&nbsp; For an extended time, I could only find the occasional local mini-market.&nbsp; They are similar to their U.S. counterparts, minus the crappy pizza and hotdog machines.&nbsp; I had days, due to the travel and arrival times between locations, where that was my only option for lunch and dinner. &nbsp;And I can promise you this, living on potato chips and candy bars for a couple of days straight is a terrible idea.&nbsp; I would have paid triple the going rate to find a good meal at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the recommendation of the lodge owners, I headed to Parcela Dona Leo Restaurant for a late lunch.&nbsp; It was the best meal I had in quite some time and would be my last meal before I returned home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"793\" height=\"327\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-15.png?resize=793%2C327&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-15.png?w=793&amp;ssl=1 793w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-15.png?resize=300%2C124&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-15.png?resize=768%2C317&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 793px) 100vw, 793px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I enjoyed my lunch, my ice cold beer and stared out the window at the inquisitive llamas, a few thoughts went through my head:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">I accomplished my goal: catching beautiful amazing trout in the remote areas throughout Patagonia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">I finally had a good meal and had leave at 5:30am the next morning.&nbsp;

Am I that lazy to waste the remainder of the afternoon on my final day in Chile?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It didn\u2019t matter whether I saw fish rise or the fact that I didn\u2019t get one bite, this was my last chance. &nbsp;So, back to the river I went.&nbsp; This time I chose Spot #1, and that\u2019s when it happened\u2026&nbsp; Not only did I catch the biggest trout of the trip, it might be the best fish I have caught in my lifetime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-16.png?resize=526%2C387&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-16.png?w=526&amp;ssl=1 526w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livingreeltime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-16.png?resize=300%2C221&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll never catch a fish without a line in the water. &nbsp;I\u2019m glad I gave it one last shot and you\u2019ll hear me ramble on about that fact in the video below.&nbsp;
