Jurassic Lake Lodge, Nov, 2021 – Prime Time Few anglers can boost about catching multiple 8-15 pound trout in a small stream in a single afternoon. Those who can probably fished Jurassic Lake Lodge in November. During this magical month, the Barrancoso River has healthy flows with massive trout that crowd each pool and complete for skating dry flies. This coming November we welcome 4  lucky anglers  to join us in experiencing this phenomenon. These are the last rods available in November and December, 2021.  There are only a few rods left during these months in 2022 as well.  Contact us today before they are gone. As the most prolific trophy Rainbow Trout fishery on the planet, Jurassic Lake is nothing short of a biological anomaly. The lake itself is a large desert sink lake measuring approximately 20 by 15 km and is teaming with small scuds that support Rainbow Trout that average over 10bs. In November, anglers can catch 50 plus fish per day, with many in the mid-teens and perhaps few in the 20+lb class. These fish are extremely stout, acrobatic and incredibly strong. The level of productivity of these waters is hard to comprehend. Jurassic Lake Lodge […]

The only thing better than experiencing a Dove and Dorado Cast & Blast, is doing it from ONE lodge. At Parana Sunrise Lodge, phenomenal Golden Dorado fishing lies only a few steps from the lodge and millions of dove plague gain fields to the north and south.  One day you will be casting to 5-15 pound Golden Dorado and the next you’ll be enjoying hot barrel, high volume dove hunting. Depending on conditions, you may fish in the morning and shoot in the afternoon.  Other programs using two different lodges for Dorado and dove require long drives or extra flights and restrict you to only one sport at each lodge. Get convenience and flexibility at Parana Sunrise, choosing the amount of fishing and shoot that suits you. When should you go?   Your chances at skies full of dove will be the same no matter when you come. However, the fishing tends to be better during the warm months of Dec-March and it is a wonderful time to escape the winter chill at home. Do take into account that during the summer months of Jan-Mar, temperatures in northern Argentina average in the 90’s with high humidity.  In mid-summer, it is common […]

3 Rivers in Northern Patagonia (100% Dry Flies!) Patagonia’s Big Brown Trout Rivers, the Chimehuín, Collon Cura and Lower Limay.  December 2021 through February 2022 is a good time to put away the streamer box and pull out those ugly foam, rubber leg bugs.  From a nice hotel in San Martin, we’ll fish the Chimehuín for a day, then spend 2 nights/2.5 days “glamping” on the Collon Cura River. The trip ends by targeting the 5-10lb migrating Brown Trout on the Lower Limay.  On the Limay, we’ll spend 3 nights at an inn with private chef and fish 3.5 days on northern Patagonia’s #1 trophy trout river.  Big Browns on dry flies is the name of the game on this river, at least for us. The Lower Limay River is a large, clear tailwater draining the Pierda del Aguila Reservoir and runs all the way to the Atlantic.  It has long been the local anglers’ “big fish river.”  Fish are found in almost every fishable piece of water, lying against the banks, in riffles, eddies, backwaters and defiantly in the runs. This is the perfect program for budget-minded dry fly anglers who want to fish hard, target bigger fish and […]

This lodge combo features fly fishing Argentina’s two most iconic dry fly rivers while staying at two equally renowned Patagonia fishing lodges, Estancia San Huberto and Estancia Tipiliuke.   San Huberto Lodge offers arguably the best dry fly fishing in Argentina on roughly 18 miles of the Malleo River. This classic dry fly river allows wading anglers to spot and stalk Rainbow and Brown Trout with only a guide and the towering Lanín volcano for company.  Tipiliuke is a large working ranch with 9 miles along the scenic Chimehuín River. These private and prolific waters run crystal clear through the awe inspiring Patagonia Steppe.  By day, target big trout on foot or float with expert guides and by night indulge in the renowned hospitality and refined cuisine that these two estancias are known for.  Tipiliuke and San Huberto complement each other perfectly.  They are our preferred trout fishing lodge for groups with nonanglers because of the superior service, luxurious accommodations and activities available on-site at each lodge. The Malleo and the Chimehuín Rivers each have more fishable water outside these estancias and float […]

Clear Water to Big Water Golden Dorado Fishing Adventure If you'll be in Argentina, experience as much as possible by combining destinations.  When it comes to Golden Dorado fishing, few areas combine more perfectly than the clear waters of the Ibera Marsh and the upper Parana River.  These are two outstanding Dorado fisheries that are relatively close to each other and yet dramatically different. Good time to go in 2022? Call us at 434-249-1783 Our Clear Water to Big Water Golden Dorado fishing combo starts on a remote portion of the Ibera Nature Reserve.  Anglers will hunt for voracious Golden Dorado in this massive wetland that is rich with flora and fauna.

On Day 5 you’ll move south to the upper Parana River in search of bigger Golden Dorado in bigger water. [...]
