From your local airport, you will fly to Santiago. Upon entry to Chile you will have pay a $135.00 fee (CC or cash) to the government. This is one time fee per passport and is a reciprocal fee that the US charges Chileans.　You will then clear customs. Give yourself 1.5 - 2 hrs to clear customs, due to how busy it can get.
"There is a duty-free area where you can quickly purchase your favorite single malt, liquor, wine, Cuban cigars, etc.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 You will feel right at home with the staff and accommodations

5-Star cuisine, Authentic Chilean meals and wine

November thru April is season.　 You will find large wild brown & rainbow trout on the move.

　　　　　They will average 18 - 22" with some going over 28" in addition, you can fish for King Salmon in March

　 Surrounded by the Andes Mountains, you'll wade, drift boat, and horseback the most beautiful country in the world!

In Chile weather is the exact opposite as the states, summer here is winter there, spring here is fall there and so on.

You will catch good numbers on dry flies, so bring lots of beetle patterns and Chernobyl ants, and don't forget streamers.

They have great dry fly fishing, and 6 different beetles in the area, but anything that works in States will work in south Chile.

HOW TO PACK AND WHAT FLIES TO BRING

You will need to bring a 9 ft 4wt, 5wt, or 6wt rod.. (4pc/5pc rods pack best)
Be sure to bring 2 rods & extra reels
Weight-forward floating Line　 Is what you'll use 99% of time

Sink tip &/or full sink line for your 5-6 wt rod & spare spool. For high water or lake fishing

Leaders are 9ft - 2X, 3x, & 4x
Tippet is 3x, 4x, & 5x

These fish are hungry and hit hard. I used my 9ft 4wt rod all the time.

I did mostly dry fly & nymphs are fine. I only recommend streamers for lake fishing.
