The rivers, lakes or flats this hub is organised around. Where a nearby guide or lodge names a water on its own website, we say how many do. Seasons, closures and permits differ by water: check the agency pages under licence and rules.
Readings are the agency's own, shown with their time and marked when older than a day; a station whose agency publishes only an inventory is shown without a number. Nothing here is estimated.

1 guide and lodge website nearby name species of their own; counted below. This is what they advertise, not a promise of what you will catch.
Buy the permit from the agency or rights-holder and read its current rules before you go. These are the authoritative pages; nothing on this page grants or implies access to any water, and no fee is shown because none was read from an agency page with a date.

Within 120 miles. Fly-focused operators first, then the best-documented listings. Distances are straight-line from the town centre. Every listing is unclaimed and built from the business's own website and an open map record; confirm licensing, rates and dates directly. Lodges and motherships are labelled as such.
Few lodges listed so far. Know one? Suggest it.
Fly shops first. A distance is shown when the shop's own website gives its location; otherwise the shop is included because it is in one of the towns around Coyhaique. Confirm hours with the shop before you go.

1 nearby operator publishes a rates page. We never copy rates or estimate a budget for this hub; these links open each operator's own rates page.

Guide, lodge and shop listings come from the Legendary directories (open map records checked against each business's own website). Everything else links to the publisher below; this page copies none of their text. A destination hub organises discovery; it does not assert public access, current fish presence, guide availability or fishing conditions, and it estimates no price.
