Villa María Lodge – Week 8: February 20th to 27th, 2022
The 8th week of 2022 Season at Villa Maria Lodge was a little different from the others. Not because of the fishing, which was great in fact, but some of our friends couldn’t arrive due to Covid related issues leaving the house half full. Another major difference with prior weeks was the weather. Coming from …

Kau Tapen Lodge – Week 7: February 12th to 19th, 2022
The strong Tierra del Fuego winds were on full display this week, as guests from the USA, the UK, and South Africa arrived at gusts upwards of 68kts or 130km/hr.

Villa María Lodge – Week 5: January 28th to Feb 4th, 2022
Another successful week is over at Villa María Lodge and we had the pleasure to receive some old house friends and a couple of newcomers. The weather was a typical midsummer week in the Rio Grande and that means dry, with days of hard winds (we had a day of 90km/h+ West wind) but usually …

Villa María Lodge – Week 4: January 21st to 28th, 2022
As we saw the progress in the last couple of weeks, the river is looking in prime condition, a very comfortable level for fishing, and the clarity is about as clear as it gets.
