Fly Selection for Chile Fly Fishing Adventures

Are you thinking about taking a fly fishing trip to Chile with Stream Side Adventures? The fly you will want to take with you are not that much different than those you would find on the fly board in any western fly shop.  Our experience tells us that the majority of your fishing will be with dries and terrestrials.  But for you diehard nymphers, we’ve included some suggestions for you.  Finally we’ve included a couple of streamers as well.

Since our recommended flies will work just fine out west make sure you bring enough.  What you don’t lose in Chile you can lose with us this summer on the Encampment.  Most of our suggested flies are available from Hill’s Discount Flies.
