Fly Fishing Chile’s River of Dreams: The Blanco River

Chile’s Blanco River offers one of the most unique and remote wilderness fly fishing expeditions for brown trout. In this captivating adventure, a group of anglers embarked on an unforgettable journey to the River of Dreams Base Camp, showcasing not only world-class fishing but also the breathtaking beauty of Southern Chile.

The Journey Begins

The expedition started in the southernmost Chilean city of Koheiki, where the group set off on a two-hour drive to a horse trailhead. From there, they mounted horses for an extraordinary ride through stunning landscapes. Though some initially felt anxious about horseback riding, the experience quickly turned exhilarating, with the majestic Chilean wilderness as their backdrop.

After the ride, a 45-minute jet boat trip brought them to their cabin camp, nestled where the Blanco River meets a spring creek. This weedy, maze-like creek provided exceptional sight fishing opportunities, setting the stage for the adventure ahead.

The Fishing Experience

At the base camp, the group immersed themselves in the art of fly fishing. They explored different sections of the river, experimenting with techniques and baits while sharing laughter and camaraderie. One of the trip’s highlights was dry fly fishing along woody structures—a magical experience despite challenges like bright sun and low water levels.

The clear waters teemed with fish, making every catch a celebration. Whether large or small, each success was met with enthusiasm, reinforcing the thrill of the sport. Beyond fishing, the group also ventured into the surrounding forests, observing local birdlife and deepening their connection to the ecosystem.

More Than Just Fishing

This expedition was about more than just catching trout—it was a profound immersion in nature. The tranquility of the Blanco River, the camaraderie among anglers, and the raw beauty of Chile’s wilderness made it a transformative experience. For those seeking adventure, solitude, and world-class fly fishing, the Blanco River truly lives up to its name: the River of Dreams.

Flytastic: Where Passion Meets Profession

A Lifelong Love for Fishing

From an early age, I was captivated by fishing—mastering complex knots blindfolded and trying fly fishing by 14. Though I pursued a culinary apprenticeship in Appenzell and later worked as a bartender, my passion for angling never faded. These experiences not only honed my skills but also sparked a deeper personal journey.

The Crossroads: Discovering My Path

In 2015, armed with a vocational high school diploma and culinary training, I embarked on hotel management studies. A pivotal moment came in 2017 during a summer internship in Canada, where I served as a Lodge Assistant Manager at a fishing lodge. Immersed in the world of professional angling, my love for the sport deepened. Yet, upon returning to Switzerland, I found myself questioning my career direction, uncertain if traditional studies aligned with my true calling.

Embracing the Wild: A Turning Point

The spring of 2020 brought both the completion of my studies and the COVID-19 lockdown—an unexpected opportunity to fully immerse myself in fly fishing. I realized my desire wasn’t just to fish but to share my knowledge and passion with others. Combining my culinary flair with my angling expertise, I envisioned creating unforgettable outdoor experiences. This inspired the birth of FLYTASTIC, a platform where I began documenting my adventures and insights.

From Passion to Profession

By summer 2021, I took the leap and made FLYTASTIC my profession. Through workshops, I now guide enthusiasts in fly fishing techniques, water ecology, and respect for nature. Whether teaching beginners or refining the skills of seasoned anglers, my goal is to inspire joy and connection with the sport.
