Paulette, Murray and I would like to thank you most sincerely for allowing us to postpone our trip to Patagonia when Paulette’s mother fell ill. Not only did you make this possible but the level of service was exceptional and arrangements impeccable. We would like to make special mention of Jo who went to endless trouble to ensure that we would have a memorable trip. The fact that this was all done at our request and no doubt inconvenience to Wildfly makes it all the more remarkable and a credit to you, your team and Jo in particular – many, many thanks.
As mentioned to you the trip was very special and the fishing out of this world. During 8 days of fishing Murray and I caught 21 fish over 10lbs with an average weight of these being about 14lbs. In total we caught about 100 fish very few of which would have weighed less than 6lbs and all in superb fighting condition. We each landed a fish of just over 22lbs one of which resisted the net for 1.5 hours. Yelcho must rank as one of the best trout fisheries in the world and together with very comfortable accommodation and great cuisine at Yelcho Lodge, it is a must for any serious trout fisherman. While the weather was challenging at times, the stunning beauty of the surrounding mountains and rain forest more than made up for the cold and rain that we experienced for much of the time. The last day was fished however, was magic and the catch remarkable with a fish of 17lbs, 2 of 16lbs, 1 of 12 and the last fish of the trip weighing in at 22lbs and taking the 1.5 hours I spoke of earlier to land.
All in all this must rank as best fishing trip I have ever undertaken, this from the overall experience point of view and not just the exceptional fishing. The exceptional service provided by Wildfly Travel was key to this trip of a lifetime. I cannot thank you enough for making all this possible.
