The Rio Grande is the largest and longest river on the island of Tierra del Fuego and it’s reputation as the worlds best sea-trout fishery is rarely disputed. The solitude of this part of the world is profound. Here in southern most Patagonia, you are likely to be far outnumbered by 10+ pound sea-trout, sheep and cattle. The average size for sea-trout taken on this section of the Rio Grande is 10 pounds with many fish being taken in the 20 pound range and every angler will enjoy the prospect of landing a monster of up to 30 pounds! Anglers visiting Cameron lodge for 2001 - 2002 season averaged nearly 8 sea-trout per day. Other local alternatives such as the large resident browns and healthy "chromer" lake run browns enter the river from Lago Blanco shaped like rugby balls. For the "grand slam" you may also land one of the large local rainbows.

Sea run browns are the main target at Cameron. The fishing season begins October 15th and ends on April 15th. The best months are January, February, March and April. Only fly fishing and of course, catch and release. The river holds runs of sea-trout beginning as early as November, but the main runs are from February to the end of the season in mid April. It’s shores are generally free of obstacles so back casting is not a problem. Springtime will bring the river width to nearly 30 to meters with it shrinking to 20 to 30 meters in mid summer. It’s an excellent river for fly fishing, sometimes more challenging and rewarding the downstream in Argentina, due to the different techniques used. The water is much clearer and maintains it’s clarity, even in higher flows. Blind fishing and wet fly techniques are used most of the time. The winds are less of a factor here as apposed to downstream in the open pampas. However the double haul cast will be a necessary skill for best success.

Cameron Lodge itself is located on a bluff with views of the Darwin range overlooking the river, only a few minutes drive from some of the more productive pools. The lodge is comfortably appointed with three double bedrooms, private baths, hot & cold running water, showers, electricity, and a nice living/dinning room complete with a cozy fireplace to welcome you after a long day of fishing. The daily menu includes regional Chilean meals very rich in seafood items like crab, mussels, scallops, calamari, clams and of course, the popular beef or lamb asado. Meals are accompanied by cocktails like the typical Chilean Pisco Sour, and the justifiably famous Chilean wines are also served with dinner
Located 125 miles (200 Km) southeast (3 hours driving) from Puerto Porvenir city capital to Chilean Tierra del Fuego, which is accessible crossing the Estrecho de Magallanes, from Punta Arenas City, or 75 miles (120 Km) (2.5 hours driving) from the airport to Rio Grande City in Argentina. The best way there is via flight to Santiago, on to Punta Arenas, and a final leg to Pampa Guanaco Airfield
The saying goes "when in Rome", but maybe it should be "when in Chile". There is something about the aurora of Chile. Peaceful, quiet, bold yet subdue. Hiking, photography, and nature exploring are all options available at Cameron. When in Chile, experience it all!
