No Name Lodge, Puerto Rico
November 1-7, 2026

No Name Lodge (NNL) is Puerto Rico's only fly-fishing lodge operation. Located in a 2-story standalone house, NNL is a short 5-minute drive from the happening local downtown of Boquerón, which features amazing restaurants, bars, and a KILLER atmosphere. It really is a unique place!

• Cost: $5,500/per person (6 nights, 5 days of fishing, double occupancy)
• Targets: Tarpon (10–50 lbs) & Permit (frequent tailing shots on reef/sand flats)
• Styles: Mangroves, flats, beach; sight-fishing in clear water

Rates include:

• Completely guided experience; We have a fleet of 8 Maverick skiffs captained by trained and experienced Florida guides who will be with you on the water daily.
• Transportation to and from Mayaguez airport
• Use of camp equipment
• Accommodations and lodge meals
• Local rum + beers

In constantly searching for new and different (and FUN) fisheries to expand their small but growing lodge operation, Cooper and Matt settled on Puerto Rico for lodge #2 back in 2021! The place is absolutely magical; it's a quick, easy flight, has loads of natural beauty, and of course, the fishing is insane!

FISHING

Tarpon & permit are our target species. The permit fishery is amazing, with anglers averaging multiple shots per day. Permit fishing includes wading coastal flats and poling reef/sand flats, primarily for tailing fish with the occasional cruiser. In terms of tarpon, the island has a huge population of resident fish that hang around all year, as there is plenty of freshwater runoff and bait, and there is no need to migrate like our fish in the States. The setup is similar to fishing in Florida, with mangrove shorelines, turtle grass, and sand flats, but with an added dimension of fishing the beach where these tarpons also cruise. They are the only operation targeting these fish from poling skiffs on the island, so needless to say, this massive population of tarpon is very unpressured. Average fish size is from 10–50 lbs, and you'll sight fish them in clear water — no chucking at rollers, they promise, ha!

LODGING

The accommodations are simple, comfortable, and designed for anglers. You’ll stay 4 minutes from the Poblado in a casual, fishing-centric, and decorated, laid-back space that keeps the focus on fishing and fun. 

Lodging is a 5-bedroom, two-story stand alone house with air-conditioned rooms and outdoor space for rigging and hanging out. Have a cigar or compete with your friends at ping pong, tiki toss, darts, or basketball. Communal grand indoor kitchen, outdoor kitchen, and large balcony lounge area. Fast Wi-Fi and daily housekeeping. 

Your average day will be waking up at the lodge for coffee and breakfast prepared by your house staff or grabbing something to go to eat on the skiff, and then jumping in the trucks to head down to the ramp with your guide. Lunch and boat beers are provided; after fishing, a lodge ping pong competition and welcome drink is waiting for you. Dinners usually include group outings to local restaurants or BBQ cookouts at the lodge. 

FLIGHTS

Travel to the lodge is simple, with many direct flights entering PR either through Ponce, Aguadilla, or San Juan. Many guests opt to fly into San Juan before jumping on a puddle jumper to fly to Mayaguez via Cape Air (www.capeair.com). This is a great option and typically the most affordable. For guests who would prefer to fly into Aguadilla, Ponce, or fly into San Juan without the puddle jumper, we can arrange a transportation service for $350 to provide travel for up to 6 guests at a time.

ChileTrout, Patagonia
February 7-14, 2027

Headquartered at Lago Frío, Chilean Patagonia, near the town of Coyhaique which is a jumping-off point to all the best fishing the region in Chilean Patagonia, ChileTrout is a family run company by our friends Pancho and Karina... and a full-service, world-class fly fishing operation with over 20 years of experience. 

• Cost: Single room USD $6,390 per person; Double room USD $5,690 per person (6 nights, 5 days, double occupancy)
• Targets: Trout, Giant Brown Trout
• Styles: Lakes and rivers, both wading and by boat; these include drift boats, whitewater rafts with fishing frames, motorized pontoon rafts and rowable zodiac style motorized boats.

Rates include:

• 5 full days of fishing
• Everyday transit
• All meals and liquors (lodge selection)
• One guide per two anglers

Embark on a journey that starts the moment you touch down at Balmaceda Airport. The dedicated staff will be waiting to greet you, assisting with your luggage and ensuring a seamless transition to our lodge, a mere hour’s drive from the airport. This is just the beginning of an adventure that promises not only exceptional fishing but also moments of awe and wonder. As you make our way to the lodge, keep your eyes on the skies. Majestic Andean condors dance on the thermals high above, while raptors gracefully hunt amidst pastures and forests along the road. Gaze at the distant foothills of the
legendary Andes, a breathtaking backdrop that sets the tone for your upcoming experiences.

FISHING

The incredible variety of world class fishing close to ChileTrout gives you the opportunity to craft your own adventure. We have many types of boats setups at our disposal to properly fish everything from the area’s larger lakes, to the meandering rivers – these include drift boats, whitewater rafts with fishing frames, motorized pontoon rafts and rowable zodiac style motorized boats.

They may need some assistance from you as they carry, portage or put in rafts in remote areas, sometimes launching rafts where there is no boat ramp – a true Patagonia experience. They also have great opportunities for walks and wade fishing if preferences and conditions align. You must be able to walk river banks, and through relatively fast water over rocks that are at times rough and slippery. Wading boots with good ankle support and without studded soles are required, felt soles are preferred not only for specific walk and wade days but also days where we will fish from the boat and occasionally get out to wade fish as well.  An adventurous attitude and the right gear will help make for a fantastic trip.

We cannot wait to show you some of the most varied, pristine, productive and scenic trout fishing in the world!

LODGING

The lodge provides world-class comfort and hospitality while also celebrating their unique location at the southern end of the Americas. Located merely 40 minutes from Balmaceda Airport and a quick 20-minute drive from Coyhaique, your new home has a sweeping view over Lago Frío, where rainbow trout wait eagerly for your fishing line. Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Built by anglers for anglers, the lodge is not just a place to stay; it’s a gateway to unforgettable experiences in the heart of Chilean Patagonia. Our custom-designed living and dining spaces are crafted to provide anglers with the perfect blend of luxury and simplicity. Every element has been meticulously designed to cater to your needs, ensuring that you’re equipped for world-class fishing and relaxation. Beyond the fishing adventures, it offers a cozy respite after long days of casting lines and exploring the pristine waters, retreating to a cozy haven where you’ll find our in-house chefs crafting exquisite meals. The warmth of a crackling fire invites you to share stories, laughter, and plans for the next day’s escapades.
