The Trout Bum
Patagonia Unlimited’s Trout Bum Itineraries are intended to offer a low cost alternative for more self-sufficient anglers who don’t mind living with a little less luxury on their trip if it will get them within range of incredible fishing. These itineraries are planned to utilize semi-mobile camping set-ups for lodging in order to fish a variety of spectacular Patagonian environments. Contact a Patagonia Unlimited trip planner today for available destinations and details.

* Let us be the first here to give credit where credit is due: The term “Trout Bum” was first coined (or at the very least first published) by fly fishing writer John Gierach, as the title of his popular 1986 collection of essays.
