RÍO GRANDE, TIERRA DEL FUEGO – HOSTED TRIP
Aurelia Lodge, Tierra del Fuego
Aurelia Lodge is located on one of the historical haciendas in Tierra del Fuego. The lodge is situated on a 1500 hectar working ranch traversed by 9 miles of the Rio Grande and 25 miles of the Menendez River. These waters are designated by the government of Tierra del Fuego exclusively to Aurelia Lodge for management of the fishery. For the PescaTravel group will have exclusive access to all of Aurelia’s waters.
Mid-March through April is a fantastic time to fish for large sea-run browns that have stacked up in its pools along with fresh sea-bright fish that continue arriving well into May. Throughout the season guests at Aurelia catch an average a shot at 3 or 4 sea-runs a day. Río Grande sea-run brown trout average between at 9 and 10 pounds, however during a week of fishing guests will have good chances of hooking up with fish of 20 pounds or more.
Generally we fish 7 to 8 weight two hand rods with scandi type heads and a good selection of sink tips to cover a variety of situations and conditions, however, one hand rods can also be extremely effetive. If you are new to fly fishing, the guides are excellent instructors who have helped many a novice triumph on their first visit to this amazing river.
Our group will have exclusive use of the entire lodge and each guest will be individually accomodated in a comfortable room with a private bathroom. During our stay we will enjoy delicious Argentinian and international cuisine, including excellent locally raised beef and lamb, fresh fish and vegetables accompanied by fine Argentinian wines.
