Tyler Romig – From Alaska to Chile: Adventure, Trout, and the Pursuit of Wild Places (Ep. 44)
Description
This week we talk with Tyler Romig, the head fly-fishing guide at La Cabana Fishing Lodge in Chile (https://www.yelchoflyfishing.com). Tyler left his Alaskan roots to build a new life along the shores of Lago Yelcho in Patagonia, Chile. With a deep love for adventure and dreams of chasing bucket list browns, Tyler’s journey took him from steelhead fishing in Alaska’s Kenai River to guiding anglers in one of the world’s most renowned fly-fishing destinations.
In this episode, Tyler shares his remarkable story—from learning to fish with his dad in remote Alaskan lakes to navigating the endless miles of fishable water in Chile. He reflects on the freedom and hardships of guiding, offers practical tips for aspiring adventure anglers, and provides insight into the unique fly-fishing culture of Patagonia.
The conversation covers Tyler’s most unforgettable fishing memories, including an epic steelhead run and strategies for targeting massive brown trout. He also offers advice for those looking to take the leap into guiding or planning their own fishing expedition in South America.
Tune in for a lively, down-to-earth discussion about following dreams, living simply, and staying connected to the wilderness.
