Patagonia Backpacking and Fly Fishing
 

For the backcountry fly-fishing expedition of a lifetime, come to NOLS Patagonia. You will find the wild brown and rainbow trout of Patagonia’s Aisen region in the pristine rivers and streams that meander through beautiful valleys.

The fundamental travel and expedition skills that are the hallmark of a NOLS experience are coupled with a tailored fly-fishing progression based on students’ individual knowledge and experience. Whether you are picking up a fly rod for the first time or have been fishing for years, this is the course for you.

NOLS provides a remote, self-sufficient, educational expedition in what has become one of the hottest fly-fishing destinations on the planet.

  "As the course goes on, students get a bit grimier, a bit hairier, and they start to get a little more real. I try to model values of commitment and leadership for the group, and I do so with actions rather than words. Anyone can become an effective leader given the opportunity and leadership tools.
