Fishing places in rivers and lakes

In the rivers and lakes close to Coyhaique, there is a paradise for all those who enjoy the practice of fishing. At the beginning of the century both truchas marron and fario were introduced. In this way, in an atmosphere unpolluted and rich on food, this fish got amazingly developed and multiplied. The chain formed by the lakes Castor, Pollux and Frio with a distance of 40 kilometers far from the city was populated by trucha arcoiris reaching sizes from 60 to 90 centimeters and a weigh of 4 kilograms. The lakes Paloma, Azul, Desierto, Elizalde and Caro offer great abundance, pieces from 1 ½ kilograms to 2 kilograms even some of almost 4 kilograms. Fly fishing, from the edge, pull or embarked always assures good results.
