Lake Rosselot, Patagonia – Chile

Rosselot Lodge is located on the shore of the lake with the same name about 1 and a half hours south of Yelcho along the Austral Highway. This a mountainous area of lush temperate rainforests, gin clear water rivers that tumble through the valleys into turquiose lakes, both home to abundant trout. Both Chucao Rosselot and Yelcho Lodges were designed and built by by Gonzalo Cortés, an experienced fisherman and author of the book “Fly Fishing in Chilean Patagonia, every detail was thought out to provide for fishermen a place to relax and enjoy after their day on the lake or river. In both lodges there is a large living room with an open fireplace and a comfortable dining room that is connected to the kitchen, which is equipped with a wood-fed cooking stove that is typical of the southern Chile.

The lodge’s location provides breath taking views of the lake and surrounding mountains as well as very quick access to some of the best fishing in the area. Their strategically located terraces have magnificent views of the lake and river, as well as of the glaciers and mountains across the lakes from the lodge. When the weather permits, drinks and lunch are served on the terrace, and once a week the chef of the lodge serves a lamb barbecue prepared in the Chilean style.

To one side of the lodge and situated in the garden only meters away from the bar is our hot tub, with a capacity for six persons; this is permanently available throughout your stay.

THE FISHING
Lake Rosselot is very well known for the large and aggressive brown trout that live in the area. Each day you will have an exciting fishing experience using large floating patterns in order to catch these beautiful and unique trophies. There are also rainbows in the lake and the river. The home pool, located a few yards away from the lodge, offers amazing wading fishing for rainbows and browns in the 12-to-20 inch range. There are also other river fishing alternatives, like the float trip on the Figueroa River using our custom-made catarafts, some of which are also equipped with jet-pump engines that allow us access to unique fishing spots where no other fishermen have ever been.

The float down this beautiful river is always exciting and productive. Your next fishing experience will be a float trip down the Rosselot River. This river has a unique structure and is literally full of hundreds of trout, always avid to take dry fly patterns and streamers. The float trip ends where the Rosselot flows into the larger Palena River, which also provides great fishing opportunities.

We also offer the chance to catch the rainbow trout of your life, fishing in one of the very remote lakes located close to our lodge. To make this fishing experience more exciting and pleasant, we use our customized all-terrain EZGO vehicle that will take you to lakes where few other people have been. a es estrictamente sin muerte.
