FreshwaterOutlet of Lago Barroso, near Coyhaique — Simpson and Paloma rivers, Mogote and Huemules spring creeks, Lagos Azul and Elizalde
Magic Waters was the Barrueto family's first lodge, opened in 2010 at the outlet of Lago Barroso about 20 miles from Coyhaique; the family now also runs River of Dreams Basecamp and Patagonia Baker Lodge. Up to 12 anglers, two to a guide, float the Simpson and Paloma, wade private spring-creek water on the Mogote and Huemules (some of it reached on horseback) and sight-fish lakes such as Barroso, Azul and Elizalde, mostly for wild brown trout.
October to May
The season runs from October into April or May. Rainbows are most active in the rivers from October to mid-December, and migratory browns run from late February to May.
