What types of rods, reels and lines I should use?
Usually you will be fishing with rods in the 6 weight category. We recommend you bring 2 rods at least. One 9 foot 4or 5 weight to be used for lighter presentations with floating lines. One 9 foot 6 or 7 weight to be used with Teeny type lines 130 or 200. 8 or 9 weight rods may also be used occasionally with 300 to 400 teeny type lines to reach deeper locations with larger fish.
If we recommend only a single rod it would definitely be a 6 weight. Quality single-action reels with a couple of spare spools for all lines that hold about 100 yards 15-20-pound of backing will get the job done. Weight forward lines are best for Patagonian waters.

What type of clothes should I take for fishing?
Weather in Patagonia is constantly changing. We recommend the layered approach. More emphasis on wind and water rather than on cold weather should be made. We suggest medium weight under garments in November, December, middle of March and April as they work the best. Light weight garments can be used during the rest of the season, January, February and middle of March.
Some tips:
• Gore-Tex waders are recommended due to the amount of travel and movement.
• One normal and one light rain jacket.
• At least one wind proof jacket.
• Polarized glasses are a must for protective eyewear bring an extra pair.
• Hats and or caps for sun protection .
• Comfortable wading boots with felt soles and gravel guards are necessary.
• Medium to heavy weight socks must accompany your outfit.
• Sunscreen, lip cream will be required frequently during periods of extended sunshine.
• During January we recommend you abstain from using blue colored clothes as in some areas there might be certain flies that are specially attracted to this color.
