The water here is 1.2 °C cooler than the September average of 11.3 °C. Cooler-than-normal water slows the bite for warm-water species and holds cool-water species shallower for longer. The water is mixed to about 113.3 m, so surface temperature carries well down the water column.

General inland salmonid season runs from the second Friday of November to the first Sunday of May of the following year (Decreto 320/1981); the 11-08 / 05-07 window above is an approximation since the legal dates shift each year. Limit: max 3 specimens per fishing day OR up to 15 kg total. Only artificial lures (single hook or treble "araña") permitted, hand-held rod, one at a time. Several southern regions (Los Ríos, Los Lagos, Aysén, Magallanes) have earlier openings or special measures — always check the region-specific SUBPESCA resolution.

Licensing:

combined — residents A national recreational fishing licence from SERNAPESCA is required and can be issued for one week, one month, or one year. It authorises recreational fishing in both maritime and continental waters across the national territory, subject to the administration measures in force. Buy online at the SERNAPESCA pescarecreativa portal or at SERNAPESCA offices., non-residents Chileans, foreign residents, and visiting foreigners who fish recreationally all require the same SERNAPESCA licence. Short (week/month) validities suit visiting anglers.

Some rules may have changed since our last verification — always confirm with the authority before you fish.

FishRadar regulations are summaries for informational purposes only. Chile requires a national recreational fishing licence from SERNAPESCA. Catch limits, minimum sizes, and closed seasons are set by SUBPESCA and vary significantly by region and water body, and salmonid season dates shift each year. FishRadar is not a legal source — always confirm the current rules with SERNAPESCA / SUBPESCA before fishing.
