Patagonia fly-fishing lodge helicopter transfers

Fly-fishing in Patagonia is an access problem before it is a fishing problem: the best water sits at the end of gravel tracks, estancia roads and river valleys that cost a half day each way by vehicle. A helicopter converts that into a short sector, and where the operator is authorised to use a lodge or estancia landing area it puts a party on the water the same morning they land at Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, Balmaceda or Coyhaique. What it cannot do is guarantee a landing anywhere a lodge would like one: every point needs to be approved and accepted by the operator, and beats inside protected areas carry their own permissions. SkyMatch Group is a helicopter charter broker and coordination platform; we do not operate aircraft and we do not sell fishing.
