About 20 km from Chime Lodge you’ll reach the mid reaches of the MalleoRiver.Regarded as one of the top 5 rivers in Patagonia, the Malleo is born on the very productive LakeTromen on the northern foothills of Lanin Volcano.The upper parts of this river are very difficult to fish due to heavily dense vegetation, high banks and steep gradient.Although difficult to fish and moody, this upper part is home of some large resident fish and migratory rainbow and brown trout.
We will concentrate on the lower reaches until its confluence with the AlumineRiver; on the Mapuche Indian Reservation; where it is easily waded, has abundant hatches throughout the season and holds large numbers of rainbow and brown trout.
It is a dry fly paradise!You can fish all day long different pools and runs sight fishing for the largest trout of the pod.
It is also a river that will reward the streamer fishermen with large brown trout, especially during low light conditions.
