2023-2024 Mid-Season Report

When the weather warmed, the dry fly fishing took off in earnest. Dragon flies always lead the way and they have continued to keep the fish looking up for a big meal. Mayflies and caddis in the channels are providing more afternoon and evening fishing as well.

From our Guests

Great family vacation! The fishing is great but also lots of activities for non-angers as well. Hiking, birding, white water rafting and horseback riding to name a few. Lodge and staff were fantastic:)

We have learned new fly fishing techniques and have been introduced to new equipment that will be added to our bag of trout tricks. Our guide, Diego, was an intelligent, accommodating fellow who patiently instructed us toward the best quality fish we have experienced.

I have never caught so many BIG fish in a trip. From fishing dries on a 3X to woolly buggers on sinking line & 3X, the fish never stopped coming to the net! Horacio, Juan Pablo and Javier are all about fishing and what I would call the upper echelon of guides. Their knowledge, passion and pursuit of fly-fishing nirvana is uncompromising.
