Clothing

     In all lodges in Chile, atmosphere is casual. A pair of jeans and shirt will suffice for evening wear. However, while fishing in Chile, guests should be prepared for hot and sunny days that reach into the upper 80 to 90 degrees. Anglers should also be ready for cool wet days reaching into the upper 40's and 50's. You will also want to keep in mind that clothing that stays warm when wet is also helpful, like wool or fleece.Weather patterns in this part of Chile are similar to that of the Pacific Northwest.
