A Stellar Start at Pira Lodge We began the season with relatively high water levels in both the Corrientes River and the Ibera Marsh headwaters.

Throughout the season, river flows fluctuated: ranging from low to normal levels. More rain than usual made for some challenging fishing, at times and we’ve seen everything from very productive sessions to some complex scenarios. Crystal clear water at times equaled spooky, careful fish, and we had to adjust our techniques accordingly for consistent results. …

A Year in Review Pira Lodge’s season began with great weather, ideal water conditions, and a remarkable push of dorado.

When we stepped into the river for the first time in 2017, it was eerily similar to how we left it back in April 2016. There were no signs of the usual spring flooding caused by rain and snowmelt. We found our same rutted truck paths from last year. And the runs were flowing smoothly …

The week began with some challenging fishing due to high water and chocolate-colored flows. But as the days progressed, conditions improved as the water levels dropped. Then a cold front blew in, and we were met with new adversities all over again. Chilly water temperatures ranged from 7 degrees C to about 10 degrees. And …

Similar to what we experienced the last couple of weeks, river levels have been seesawing daily due to some rain mixed with snowmelt from the headwaters. But the flow fluctuations were mostly mild and predictable—thankfully—and the fish have remained in the deeper channels and slower moving waters. Wind, air, and even water temperatures were pleasant …
