FALKLANDS FISHING

If you are after a wilderness fishing experience in relative solitude then this is the trip for you. Enjoy the privacy of the pristine coastal estuaries, rivers and streams amidst spectacular scenery while encountering captivating wildlife. In West Falkland, lodge at Port Howard; one of the best places to stay for sea trout fishing on the Warrah and Chartres rivers. Then to East Falkland and the capital of Stanley, to see what you can lure out of the Murrell and San Carlos rivers. Throughout the tour relax in the warmth of comfortable lodges and cottages offering genuine Falklands hospitality and delicious fare. The sea trout season runs from 1 September to 30 April. Catches in the rivers are heavily influenced by rainfall with ideal spate conditions likely in September/October and March/April.
