In recent years, the remote Torres del Paine region of Chile has become synonymous with adventure, breathtaking landscapes, and authentic Patagonian culture. Though each season this far southern region welcomes a rapidly growing number of travelers and adventure-seekers, it has remained almost entirely off the radar for anglers, despite its claim to some of the best dry-fly fishing in all of Patagonia. 

Tucked away in sleepy Sea Drift, Texas, Bay Flats Lodge overlooks the emerald waters of San Antonio Bay, one of the Gulf Coast’s most prolific fisheries for hard-fighting redfish, as well as speckled trout, black drum, and wily sheepshead. This wonderfully comfortable lodge offers luxurious accommodations, hearty, home-cooked meals, and that patented “Texas hospitality” you won’t find anywhere else.
