Orthoman,

Gaston' owner of Rumba Pantagon is EXCELLENT!!.... I fished with him two days out of Coyhaquie in Early November, not expecting to when I headed to Chile, but ended up finding him as I was passing through. He has top notch gear, and really knows the water, very good english, and a heck of a nice guy. We had two fantastic days on the water. He lent me one custom streamer fly of his that we nailed so many browns on, and I kept fishing it the next week, until it was down to a bare hook. It landed a lot of Browns. If I remember right Gaston' does not tie, but had someone locally in Coyhaquie (one of his guides I think) tie some flies for him. Tell him Flyboy in AK said hi...

Also, the Orvis shop in Puerto Varas is pretty small, and had a just a basic supply of flies, nothing really tuned into local water.

If anyone wants a custom tier in Puerto Varas (Lakes District) let me know, I have a contact there.
