Chartres River
About
Located on West Falkland, the Chartres river is best known for its consistency, deep runs and pools. The river rises in the southwest foothills of the Hornby Mountains and flows westwards for around 25km (15 miles) to Christmas Harbour, running through grassland which provides easy bank access. Chest waders are useful on some parts of Chartres River. In places where wading is not possible it is an advantage to be able to cast the full 30m (30 yards) of fly line.
Accommodation is available at Chartres, Crooked Inlet and Port Howard. Access arrangements for day visitors should be made with the landowners Chartres Sheep Farming Co Ltd in advance of visiting, or when booking your accommodation at Chartres.
