Yea,--I chose to not book him because there seem to be more than one story like this. It seems like he is really hit or miss.

I booked a flats trip in Belize through him on my honeymoon a couple years ago. His local guide was good, but after the trip kept trying to get me to pay cash after I'd put down a credit card for the trip over the phone with Trout (I still was tipping in cash), even tried to get me to go to an ATM. It was an odd situation at best.

However, the guide I settled on and booked after some research was Tres Rios Fishing Lodge just outside of Puerto Varas. He's an American who has lived in Chile for a long time and didn't ask for a deposit in advance (and therefore keep my money for no services), but there is a run of king salmon in the Rio Petrohue as well as big browns. Another guy that is down there is Jack Trout, but if you do research on him on the internet, it sounds like some people have been burned by his associates in Chile. Hope that helps.Bobby

Plans are still very fluid, but it sounds like we could be traveling between Santiago and Buenos Aires over a 2-week period.
If this ends up happening, 4-6 of us would like to spend a few days (like 2-3 days) fishing. Does anyone have experience with guides in that general area? A lot of the lodges that we've looked at require a week stay (and are outrageously expensive). Ideally we'd like to just hire a guide or two (depending on how many folks want to fish) to take us out for the day.
Another option would be to go full DIY - has anyone done that?
Thanks, in advance.
