"We had the most incredible day with Diego on the Rio Serrano! Couldn't recommend highly enough. The local knowledge of the river was so helpful. Lunch was delicious, accompanied by a few drinks. All kit provided and much-needed instruction where required. A fantastic experience — we will definitely be booking again!"

"We had a great day with incredible scenery and lunch. We had several big fish on the line — luckily we both landed the biggest fish we hooked (both on dry flies). He taught my girlfriend to fly fish (her first time) and she caught 2 fish. A great day — 10/10 recommend."

"We had an incredible time fishing with Diego. He has a super keen eye and shared several smart tips that really helped us manage the wind. Fishing in such a rugged, wild landscape with the mountains as a backdrop was absolutely unforgettable. An amazing experience — we would highly recommend Diego to anyone!"

"Diego organized a couple of fantastic days of fly fishing near Puerto Natales. He took us to private rivers an hour from our hotel. Everything was very well organized — professional service and effective fishing instruction, including a great lunch. We landed a lovely brown trout! Highly recommended."

"Our 2-day fly fishing excursion with Victor & Diego far exceeded our expectations! As a beginner, they were patient and effective instructors. Everyone caught several beautiful brown trout and some epic brook trout. They are incredibly fun, thorough, professional and we would definitely book with them again!"

"Victor took me and my wife fishing for the day and we had a great time. The river we fished was beautiful. My wife doesn't fly fish but Victor was still able to get her a solid trout. Victor was also a wealth of local knowledge about the area. Class act."

"Just finished two days of fly fishing with Diego! Truly incredible. I've been lucky enough to fly fish around the world and the service Diego provides is exceptional. His trucks, boat and equipment were top notch. Diego is incredibly knowledgeable with excellent access to numerous estancias and private water. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."

"Diego is friendly and knows where the fish are. My wife caught the most beautiful salmon I've seen, and Diego patiently helped me improve my spey casting. The setting was jaw-dropping — Andes on one side, el Torres on the other. We even saw our first puma ever! Highly recommend."

"Diego was an excellent guide. He picked us up at the hotel on time and put us on the water without delay. He took us to a Spring Creek he recommended — it was great. We spotted fish frequently and he put us on them. We landed multiple brown trout and had an amazing time. Highly recommend."

"Diego has access to some of the best waters in Chilean Patagonia and we had a great time catching brown trout all day long. Halfway through the day he set up a picnic with refreshments and delicious food. His priority is catching fish but also having a good time and teaching good technique. Highly recommend!"

"I had an extra day during my visit to Patagonia and reached out to Natales Fly Fishing on recommendation from a hiking guide. Diego was very professional, helpful and knowledgeable about all types of fishing in the area. He picked me up, secured all licenses and provided lunch and snacks. A great trip — highly recommend."

"Great day fishing with Diego! My father-in-law and I were brand new to fly fishing — but Diego got us both on beautiful fish and helped us improve our casting all day. He was accommodating for our wives too, providing chairs along the bank and making lunch for the whole group. Outstanding!!"

"We fished with Diego on the Río Penitente and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Diego expertly read the river and put me in position to fish all day. His coaching was invaluable. His fly selection ended up landing 7–8 brown trout of 18–20 inches. The lunch was great too. Exceptional — everything I hoped for and more."

"My husband and I spent an enjoyable day fly fishing with Diego. Neither of us had tried fly fishing before and found Diego very patient and his instructions clear. Diego also provided a generous, fresh lunch. We both caught trout and went home happy. We would highly recommend Natales Fly Fishing for both beginners and experienced anglers."

"The infamous early-season Patagonian weather was quite challenging but beautifully dramatic — strong wind, rain, hail and freezing temperatures. That only made the multiple Patagonian browns of 16–20+ inches we caught much more special. Diego was very patient with my novice companion. The prices seemed on par with the US but had twice the value. A+!"

"I highly recommend Diego for anyone interested in fly fishing. The entire experience was nothing short of phenomenal. Diego's passion for fly fishing is unmistakable. A third-generation fly fisherman from Chile who has honed his skills under the guidance of his grandfather and father. His patience with me as a first-timer was incredible."

"My wife and I could not have been more pleased — from the initial contact to being dropped off at our hostel. Diego was very communicative, responsive and supportive. He is extremely knowledgeable and a great coach to two novice anglers. He even had a beautiful creekside lunch with a table cloth for us! Recommend 10/10."

"Three great days of varied fishing with Diego. Booking was easy online and Diego was a very good communicator. We fished sea-run browns with streamers and local browns with dry flies across large rivers, small rivers, and spring creeks. Diego found fish every day. We caught a couple of trout over 25 inches — spectacular pictures and great memories."

"I was absolutely blown away by the experience. I've fished many of the best trout rivers in the US (ID, UT, MT, CO, WY) and this was another level. Quality over quantity — we caught monsters! I landed 12 trout, 4 of them over 22 inches. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Diego speaks excellent English and was very attentive throughout."

"The fly fishing tour was really awesome. I truly enjoyed the time and appreciated all the techniques Diego taught me. He changed the fly or method when the trouts didn't take it immediately. I caught 7 on Day 1 and 5 on Day 2 even in very strong wind. I strongly recommend this tour."
