Shop For Your Next Patagonia Fly Fishing Adventure
Perhaps the world's finest trout fishery on earth, anglers experiencing Patagonia for the first time are floored by its landscapes, culture, and productive fishing. Gear for Patagonia can vary based on season, but emphasis should be placed on effective layering systems as temperatures and conditions can rapidly change. Patagonia is well-known for its productive dry fly fishing, but nymphing and streamer fishing are necessary tools to have in your tool box, so we recommend bringing a diverse selection of flies on your adventure.

The primary line anglers will use is a floating line, while a sink tip line in the 200-250 grain range is recommended for streamer fishing.
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience.
