About Eleven Martin Pescador Lodge
- The lodge program was founded two to three decades ago by a husband-and-wife team before Eleven, the adventure-travel collection founded by financier Chad Pike, took it over.
- Guests split a set seven-night itinerary between two riverfront lodges, Rio Yelcho and Rio Rosselot, fishing across two distinct Patagonian watersheds.
- The lodges are known for the summer dragonfly hatch on Lago Yelcho, when large wild brown and rainbow trout key in on emerging insects in near-untouched water.
History
Eleven Martin Pescador is a two-lodge fly-fishing operation set deep in Chilean Patagonia's Lake District, south of the small town of Chaitén in the Los Lagos region. It is part of Eleven — the adventure-travel collection founded by American financier and outdoorsman Chad Pike — which runs a portfolio of remote lodges built around world-class angling, skiing and wilderness pursuits. The Martin Pescador program spans two riverfront lodges, Río Yelcho Lodge on the banks of the Río and Lago Yelcho and Río Rosselot Lodge on the Río Rosselot, so that guests split a week between two distinct watersheds.
The lodges sit amid Valdivian rainforest, glaciers and waterfalls, giving anglers access to the Río Futaleufú, Río Figueroa, Río Pico and many other rivers and lakes, reached by jet boats, catarafts and drift boats. The property is best known for the famous summer dragonfly hatch on Lago Yelcho and for large wild brown and rainbow trout in near-untouched water. Accommodating up to about ten anglers at a time, it operates a set seven-night itinerary during the austral fishing season, with chef-prepared meals, guides and gear all included.
