The fishing

The Villa Maria Lodge fly-fishing experience offers an unparalleled angling adventure on the iconic lower Río Grande in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. With private access to 20 kilometers of productive fishing waters, guests at Villa Maria are provided with first crack at targeting these fresh, hard-fighting fish as they enter the river system.

The Villa Maria Lodge fly fishing experience is not just a destination; it’s a gateway to a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, where every cast carries the promise of landing a trophy fish in one of the most stunning settings on earth.

The best trophy sea-run brown trout fishing

Home to some of the world’s largest trophy sea-run brown trout, the lodge can exclusively host a maximum of six guests, ensuring a personalized and highly tailored itinerary. This stretch of river is renowned for its giant fish, with catches averaging 8 to 15 pounds and the possibility of hooking giants exceeding 20 pounds.

The broad pools and channels of the lower Río Grande are ideally suited for spey casting, allowing for efficient coverage of the expansive waters and the possibility for explosive takes as flies swing through the current. Single-handed rods, however, remain highly effective for those who do not spey-cast or prefer to fish with a lighter setup. Guided by a team of seasoned professionals, anglers of all skill levels can refine their techniques and maximize their chances of catching  on the water.

After a rewarding day of fishing, guests return to the comfort of Villa Maria Lodge, where warm hospitality, gourmet Argentine cuisine, and a fine selection of wines await. Found amidst a breathtaking Patagonian landscape, the lodge offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern luxury, creating an atmosphere of relaxation and camaraderie.
