Testimonials


This is the farthest South in Chile that we’ve fished. Paul Kinney runs a small and excellent lodge - one of the very few places in the world with a great river within walking distance, with tremendous brown and rainbow trout. Wonderful scenery and attractive place for couples. We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing there with Paul and his guides.

Take care

Paul and Maria,
Thank you so much for a wonderful week at Paloma River Lodge. From the great fishing to the 5 star cuisine, everything could not have been better. I look forward to my return visit. Please give my regards and best wishes to all the staff for a truly superb job and an experience I will not forget.
Best of luck in the future and tight lines!

Many thanks to Felipe and his team for making a really wonderful fishing experience. To Ivonne and Carola for the great food and service. To Carlos for his dedicated guidance made a big difference. Also to Joanna and Alfredo for his hospitality and unforgetable “cordero al palo”,  potatoes, sopaipillas, etc.
But to Felipe whose persistance in finding my camera dropped, while fishing, was a real lesson in how we can find a needle in a haystock (or a trout in a river!).
Best wishes to you all and hope to see you again soon.

What can I say?
The experience here at the PRL was excellent. Your guiding skills are world class… You really are an excellent guide with a great attitude and good ability to teach those who may need a little instruction. The Paloma River is absolutely beautiful and full of beautiful big brown trout. Your team is very professional and take very good care of your clients. The food was outstanding, the fly fishing experience among the best in the world, both of which were only exceeded by your team’s excellent care and good company. I really plan to come back soon! Muchas gracias!!! the best of Chile, the Paloma River Lodge.

Beth and I can’t stop thinking about the wonderful time we had at the Paloma
River Lodge. It was everything we had hoped for from a Chilean fly fishing
experience. For a wilderness lodge it couldn’t be beat. The accommodations
were more than comfortable, the food was outstanding (and the envy of some
gourmet restaurants, I’m sure), the guides and staff very professional and
the fly fishing was the best we have ever encountered in Chile, New Zealand
or the States. (On the beautiful Mogote River, Beth stopped counting after
catching 50 good sized Rainbows and Browns by mid-afternoon.)

The Paloma River Valley is breathtaking, and the options, from walk/wade,
float or lake fishing for the big Browns and Bows, provides a perfect
variety for dry fly fishing in heaven.

Thanks so much for the hospitality you and your staff provided. We are
already marking our calendars for our return trip with friends next year.
See you then.
