At Lake Llanquihue there is an advantage in the opening dates for the fishing season in Chile. Normally, November is the opening date for all freshwater fishing in Chile. Due to the large resident salmon population which has established itself in Lago Llanquihue, the season for all trout and salmon species here begins in the month of September, two months in advance of the country-wide freshwater opening dates. Country-wide in Chile, the saltwater fishing season is open year-round, including the ability to fish in estuaries.
