The trip

A day's chinook fishing at sea

We run the Queule coast after chinook salmon in salt water: the fish still silver, fresh from the Pacific, before it enters the river. It works equally for someone who has fished for years and for someone stepping into a boat for the first time.

What the day is like

We leave the cove early and come back when the water allows. The exact hour is set by the day's tide, not by the clock.

6 hours Of fishing

That is the session. The departure time is set around the turn of the tide, which is when the fish feed.

3 anglers At most

The boat goes out for your group alone. It is never shared with an outside group.

No experience Is fine too

The guide sets up the tackle, teaches the cast and works with you all day. We provide the gear.

The species

The chinook, king of the Pacific

It is the largest salmon in the Pacific, and every summer it runs from the sea into these rivers. A running fish weighs between fifteen and twenty kilos, and the species gives a good deal more than that. When it takes the lure with the sea still in its body, nothing in southern Chile fights like it.

15 to 20 kg typical weight of a running chinook
Sep — Mar the full season we run
3 per day quota per angler, with no weight limit
