Chile 2014 Day 1
I arrived in Chile on Saturday, March 29 and met my friends, Benito and Pablo Perez and Exequiel Bustos at the Santiago airport. That afternoon we flew south to Osorno and met Javier Dietz who owns and operates the Cantarias Lodge, named after the monster beetle that is great food for very large trout.
We unpacked at the lodge, had a lovely dinner meal, and slept very comfortably in the large and very comfortable rooms.
Sunday was an all day clinic. Those in attendance opted for a PowerPoint presentation on Long Flies, a fly tying session, and a casting session. We certainly covered a great deal of ground.
The rather large Canrtarias beelte–a true mouthful for a rather large trout!!

A most peaceful rest in confortable quarters overlooking lake Puyehue–hot tub, sauna, and all!
The rooms are spacious and very comfortable for the angler, trekker, climber, skier, and other outdoors people.
