Quebrada Pan de Azúcar

Quebrada Pan de Azúcar is a stream flowing through Región de Atacama, Chile. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Quebrada Pan de Azúcar, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.
