Jack sent a last minute email saying he had car trouble and needed to send me with another guide. The young guide, Matias, was nice enough, but we didn't have time to plan for my fishing preferences. He claimed we only had time to fish the R. Maullin, a fairly large, deep, tree-enshrouded river. So most of the time we... More

Jack Trout should have his very own Superhero television or comic book series! This gentlemen and goodwill ambassador from America is a combination of legendary frontiersmen like Davey Crockett or Daniel Boone and modern day crime-buster characters like Batman or the The Green Lantern. In real life, Jack and his wife and business partner Carola – a soft Chilean beauty... More

I'm an intermediate flyfisherman who also happens to be in a wheelchair-Jack accommodated me easily in an easy access drift boat. During two days fishing with Jack I caught my personal-best fish with Jack on the Rio Maullin, a 21", 7 lb. sea run brown, apparently quite rare so far north. This was my first experience flyfishing in Chile as... More

During my travels in Argentina and Chile with my wife, I set aside a couple of days for fishing during our visit to the lake district of Chile near the river Petrohue. I didn't want to haul my fishing gear all over South America and wanted a guide for a day who would rent gear for a couple of non... More

My job at the American Embassy in Uruguay provided an opportunity to not travel far to go fly fishing so my friends and I located Jack's website to plan an adventure in Chile. We fished with Jack in the Lake and Patagonia regions of Chile. My first day was on the Rio Enco where Jack has exclusive access. I caught... More

My sister and I booked a full day float with Jack Trout in Panguipulli Chile on Wednesday. We fished a fantastic stretch of water using streamers for big trout. Jack was an excellent rower putting us in a variety of positions for shots at fish all over the river, all day long. The weather was clear but extremely hot, which... More

My father, brother, friend and myself did a full day drift outside of Puerto Varas, Chile earlier this month. Jack Trout and his companion guide Edgar provided us the most spectacular day on our ten day Argentina / Chile tour. Being an avid fisherman from Alaska, I expected to have a similar fly fishing experience enjoyed on other guide drifts.... More

If you haven't yet floated the remote sections of the Upper Sacramento River with Jack and Carola Trout, you are missing out on one of California's most spectacular travel experiences. This trip has it all-superb fly fishing for rainbow trout, white water rafting, fantastic canyon views and a gourmet stream-side lunch. Jack and Carola are attentive fly fishing professionals, committed... More

My son and I were fortunate in linking up with Jack Trout as we planned our trip to Northern California. Jack's rafting expertise enabled us to fish stretches of the Upper Sacramento River that could only be accessed by mountain goats, and his knowledge of the river ensured that we caught some beautiful rainbow trout. Jack's gracious hospitality and endless... More

I know Jack guides folks in California, but we stepped off our cruise ship and went fishing with Jack in Puerto Montt, Chile. Excellent, top notch. Jack knows his way around Chile. He got us to some places to fish that the locals don't even know about. It was driving rain storm in the morning, but the fish were biting... More
