FreshwaterRío Ñirehuao, Estancia Adelaida near El Gato, north of Coyhaique
Four stone-and-log buildings make up this lodge on the Río Ñirehuao, on a 5,000-acre ranch north of Coyhaique that makes its own hydroelectric power. The Gorroño family ran it for more than three decades, and the owners of ESB Lodge took over from the 2024-25 season. Anglers wade the home river, spring-fed oxbow lagoons and creeks and raft the Simpson and Mañihuales for brown and rainbow trout, mostly on big terrestrial dry flies.
December to March
The season runs about 12 weeks, from around Christmas to mid-March, with hopper fishing in the final third.
