MALLIN GRANDE, Chile--(Business Wire)--
Patagonia Acres Fishing Lodge has opened its doors as the premier destination
for trout fishing on Lake General Carrera. Nearly 900 miles south of Santiago,
Patagonia Acres is in the heart of sport fishing`s last frontier. 

"We provide the most complete and comfortable guided fishing excursions and
accommodations in South America," said Chris Harrison, owner. 

"With years of fishing experience, we take guests to fly and spincast fishing
destinations for Trout (Rainbow, Brown and Perca) and Chum on the lake, nearby
coves and rivers," added Jorge Olivero Leal, fishing guide. "We fish with dry
and wet flies, Rapalas, Kaiman, Spinners, Spoons and lures that are known to
attract the aggressive fish in the region," says Olivero. 

Designed for the sport fisherman, Patagonia Acres is an all-inclusive resort
that includes a private golf course, fitness center, spa, gourmet meals and
guided fishing in groups no larger than two fishermen. The Lodge features 6,500
square feet of guest amenities and two private guest rooms. Separate cabins are
also available with two bedrooms, private bathrooms, living room, dining area
and kitchen. "Five years in the planning, this is a dream come true for me, and
it will be for our guests, too," says Harrison. 

Patagonia Acres is easily reached through Santiago, Chile, with round-trip
transportation provided from Balmaceda, Chile. Fishing packages are for seven
days and six nights, with each trip beginning on Monday morning and departing on
Sunday afternoon. The Lodge provides all food, lodging, fishing excursions,
golf, and beverages, including wine, beer and pisco sours. In addition, the
Lodge has cable television and Internet access.
