MEET THE OUTFITTER
Jerónimo Canton is an experienced fishing guide who learned from his father and worked with various companies. He was referred to us by one of our most trusted clients and friends, and came to visit Red's last summer. He and Joe Rotter sat down for lunch and a plan was formed! His passion for fly fishing is enthusiastic, genuine, and his energy positive.
He is passionate about fishing, skiing, kayaking, and rafting. Jerónimo co-founded Adrenaline Frames and organizes river festivals in Patagonia. They have owned Adrenalina Frames since 2007, specializing in manufacturing aluminum frames for fishing and rafting boats. They later created Patagonia Trout Outfitters, offering fishing-related and outdoor services in the Patagonia region.
Natacha, originally from Buenos Aires, settled in Los Alerces National Park in 1999 and has a background in Tourism Business Administration. She enjoys outdoor activities and manages the Patagonia Trout office, focusing on trout fishing services.

SINGLE ANGLERS WELCOME!
Single anglers are always welcome on our worldwide hosted fly fishing trips, and we take great care in pairing guests to ensure a fun and rewarding experience. We’ll match you with a roommate and assign you a fishing partner for each day on the water, sometimes keeping pairs consistent and other times rotating to give everyone a well-rounded experience. Many solo travelers join our trips because we have a strong track record of fostering a great group dynamic, mixing anglers and guides to create an enjoyable atmosphere for all. While we strive to accommodate individual preferences, flexibility is key, as our primary goal is to rotate guide assignments and maximize opportunities for every guest. We simply ask our single anglers to embrace the adventure, go with the flow, and enjoy the incredible fishing!
The Red's Hosted Experience
On our hosted trips a Red's team member will travel with you and help make your experience the most efficient, rewarding, and best adventure we can. We're there to aid the lodge in coordinating ground transfers, assigning guides, meeting angler expectations, and helping problem solve should any challenges arise. Your host will mentor as necessary, work with the lodge's head guide to coordinate guide pairings, and make group wide decisions that best serve all Red's customers.
Your host will act as a foreman for the Red's group to insure that all anglers are moving on time, and we're not afraid to give your fishing partner a kick in the pants if they are slowing you down. Red's hosted trips are fun, efficient, and we can help you make the most out of your big adventure. You can come as a single angler, but you'll become part of the family.
