Fly Fishing Chile's River of Dreams for Brown Trout

Fly Fishing Chile’s River of Dreams for Brown Trout
Channel: Jensen Fly Fishing
Duration: 108 min

Chile’s Blanco River offers one of the most remote and unique wilderness fly fishing expeditions for brown trout.

Video Summary
This fly fishing video takes viewers on an exhilarating journey to the River of Dreams base camp in southern Chile. The adventure begins with a horseback ride and a jet boat trip to the cabin camp on the Blanco River. The expedition features exceptional sight fishing opportunities in a maze of weedy spring creeks. Initially intimidated by the horses, the participants soon embrace the experience, awed by the breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife.

As they trek through dense forests, their excitement grows, heightened by the floral fragrances and vibrant canopies of flowers. The video captures their fly fishing exploits, including the thrill of hooking fish in challenging spots like tight backwaters and beneath logs. They successfully lure fish using various fly patterns, such as beetles and dragonflies.

The journey continues with an exploration of the Bongo River, where they immerse themselves in lush forests and pursue brown trout with mice patterns, despite tough conditions. The anglers share their techniques, including black torpedo hunting and streamer fishing, showcasing their skill and passion.


Key Improvements:

  1. Grammar & Syntax: Corrected awkward phrasing (e.g., "most unique, remote, wilderness, back country" → "most remote and unique wilderness").
  2. Conciseness: Removed redundant words (e.g., "filled with" → "features").
  3. Flow: Improved transitions between ideas (e.g., "As they venture through forests" → "As they trek through dense forests").
  4. Clarity: Simplified complex sentences (e.g., "Participants, initially intimidated by horses, find joy…" → "Initially intimidated by the horses, the participants soon embrace the experience").
  5. Consistency: Standardized terms (e.g., "Southern Chile" → "southern Chile" per AP style).

Fishing Breaks offers angling on England’s most exclusive and prestigious chalkstreams. Founded over 30 years ago by Simon Cooper, the company embodies his passion for fly-fishing and dedication to these world-renowned rivers.

The British Isles are home to over 85% of the world’s chalkstreams—ecologically unique and biodiverse river systems. Raised in Hampshire, Simon grew up surrounded by exceptional fly-fishing opportunities but recognized their limited accessibility beyond a select few. Armed with just a telephone and a network of contacts, he set out to change this.

Nicolas’s connection to fishing traces back to his childhood—a passion inherited not from his father or grandfather, but from his mother and grandmother. The rivers of Hérault and Tarn were his first classrooms, where he learned the art of fishing. Over 35 years later, his grandmother’s advice still guides him as he continues to refine his techniques.

Fly Fishing: A Way of Life
For Nicolas, fly fishing is more than a hobby; it’s a lifestyle. He has spent years mastering techniques like dry fly fishing, driven by a fascination with nature. Observing insect behavior, studying fish patterns, and analyzing how weather and geology affect fishing conditions are at the heart of his craft.

Guiding in Hérault: Fulfilling a Dream
Nicolas’s journey was shaped by two childhood passions: nature and sports. After completing his scientific education, he pursued degrees in social careers and sports management, eventually specializing in Outdoor Activities Management. Yet, he yearned to share his knowledge with others.

Turning Passion into Purpose
To make this dream a reality, Nicolas earned multiple certifications. He joined the training team at Creps de Montpellier, helping shape the next generation of outdoor leaders. Today, his favorite setting remains Hérault, where he guides fly fishers, shares his expertise, and showcases the region’s beauty through his guiding services.

Our Founders’ Stories

Dylan’s Journey

Dylan, our owner and co-founder, discovered her passion for fishing in 2010—a way to honor the memory of her late husband, Tony. The solace and joy she found in fly fishing inspired her to address the lack of gear tailored for women. This led her to co-found She’s Fly with Emily, driven by a shared vision of inclusivity in outdoor sports.

Beyond She’s Fly, Dylan works as an Agile Solutions Architect while balancing her love for nature, music, travel, and time with her pets and loved ones in Fort Collins, CO.

Emily’s Path

Emily, co-founder of She’s Fly, embodies the spirit of the Colorado mountains. A lifelong advocate for preserving National Parks and Public Lands, she has always defied expectations through her adventurous pursuits.

Her passion for fly fishing reflects her love for the outdoors and her commitment to challenging industry norms that overlook women’s needs. Alongside Dylan, she empowers others to pursue their passions without limits.

Outside work, Emily enjoys spontaneous adventures, time with her dogs, and immersing herself in nature’s beauty.
