Week 4 at La Villa Maria Behety turned out to be an excellent week. 100 fish were landed to the six rods with 25 fish over 15lbs and three over 20lbs. Top rod of the week was Paul Richardson with 19 fish to the net, the biggest being 18lbs.

The fishing has been getting better and better on the Rio Grande. Expectations were high since some larger fish were showing up. There were some experienced fishermen at Estancia Maria Behety and they took advantage of the situation. The 12 rods landed 142 seatrout, 34 of them over 15lbs and the two biggest were both 22lbs.

Tsimane is proud to announce that after fulfilling hundreds of experienced fishermen’s high expectations over the last few years, they are now announcing a game changing experience in the Tsimane fly fishing programme.

ATA Lodge, situated on the wild and scenic Alagnak River of Bristol Bay in southwest Alaska, had an epic season in 2022. 2022 was the busiest season ever at ATA Lodge and guests had an amazing time experiencing all the fabulous fishing in one of Alaska's most pristine and beautiful locations.

It has been 12 years since I was last in Cuba and on the last visit I had to stay an extra week because the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokul erupted and air traffic seemed to stop. Tough life I hear you say! This was my first visit to the Jardines de la Reina and fortunately on this hosted trip everything went incredible smoothly.
