Laguna Verde

Anglers know Laguna Verde as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Región de Atacama, Chile. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Laguna Verde is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques

• For Argentinian silverside

  Argentinian silverside often school, so once you find one, you'll likely find more in the same area; adjust your presentation to match the water depth.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
