Patagonia Doubleheader
February 8 to 21, 2027 Manihuales River Lodge • Estancia Chochoy Millan Chile & Argentina Trout Expedition Hosted by Ray Miller, The Wandering Sportsman “Where the Journey Matters as Much as the Catch, the Flush, or the Harvest.” Few places on earth stir the soul of a fly angler quite like Patagonia. Towering Andes peaks, glacier-fed rivers, legendary spring creeks, and wild trout create a landscape that feels almost untouched by time. The Patagonia Double Header is a carefully crafted sporting journey through both Chilean and Argentine Patagonia, combining two incredible destinations into one unforgettable adventure. This is far more than a fishing trip. It is an immersive experience built around world-class fly fishing, authentic culture, breathtaking scenery, exceptional food and wine, and the camaraderie that defines The Wandering Sportsman. From remote freestone rivers and hidden mountain lagoons in Chile to the legendary spring creeks and technical trout waters of Argentina, every day offers new water, new landscapes, and new memories. Hosted personally by Ray Miller, this small-group adventure blends exploration, storytelling, and adventure with some of the finest trout fishing on the planet.
