Laguna de Cáhuil

Located in Región del Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins, Chile, Laguna de Cáhuil is a saltwater venue where the tide chart matters more than the weather.

Wind direction also changes things — an onshore breeze pushes baitfish into the shallows and can turn a quiet morning into a short, frantic feeding window.

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.
