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 …

Villa María Lodge – Week 7: February 11th to 18th, 2022
Another week went through at Villa Maria with the lodge full of old friends of the house. A great week, full of stories and memories from decades of visiting the Rio Grande. Weather-wise we were punished by the wind as it did set a new season’s record when last Sunday it reached an incredible 130km/h …

Villa María Lodge – Week 6: February 4th to 11th, 2022
In our Midseason week, the weather presented stable and predictable and very similar to the previous week. No rain, a day or two of hard winds but warm and pleasant evenings. The river remained at the same level as the week before with no significant changes in temperature or clarity. We have to remember that …

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. The water level has continued to drop throughout the week making the fishing even more enjoyable as wading became super easy …

Villa María Lodge – Week 3: January 14th to 21st, 2022
If I defined the previous week as “extreme”, our third week would easily fit the adjective of challenging. Why? Because along the week the weather changes were restless and we had the most varied conditions. We started the week with a thick rain that came with a strong East (upstream) wind. A couple of days …

Villa María Lodge – Week 2: January 7th to 14th, 2022
If we have to define our 2022 season’s second week would be “extreme”. And that is because of the 6 fishing days, 4 of them were extremely windy with winds between 80 to 105km/h (50 to 65 miles/hour) making the wading and casting a very demanding task. That’s why, first of all, the guides and …

Villa María Lodge – Week 1: December 31st to January 7th, 2022

Villa Maria Lodge – 2020 Season End Report
The 2020 Rio Grande season is officially over, and although cut a bit short, it was certainly a season to be remembered! We can say, with confidence, that this has been a very special season. Especially when we compare this year’s river flows to the previous season. December was a very wet month and this …

Villa Maria Week 10: March 6 – 12, 2020
Our last week of the season has just wrapped up. This week’s weather remained warm and dry throughout this week with some mild upstream wind during the first couple of days which always makes casting a little uncomfortable and makes properly placing a fly, a bit more challenging. After those first few days, the wind …
