On the Rio Corrientes, the game typically involves big streamers and either floating or sinking lines to cover big water to find fish.  You’ve likely never had as violent a grab on a swung fly as you might get here.  In the Marsh, the setting is more intimate, with still waters and opportunities for fishing streamers and poppers on floating line.  Aiming casts into the reeds and along the edges makes for an awesome alternative to the big river game.

The Ibera Marshland is a vast system of non-polluted crystal-clear creeks, flowing rivers, shallows and lakes. The Province of Corrientes borders Uruguay, and enjoys one of Argentina’s subtropical climate patterns, with temperatures in the mid-80s early and late in the season. The Ibera Marshland is almost completely unexplored and uninhabited, and a large portion of it is protected within the Esteros del Iberá Reserve. It is not uncommon to see a caiman slither into the water, a capybara poke its head out of the tall grass, or a river otter hunting for its supper.  The soundtrack to fishing is provided by the hundreds of species of that inhabit the marsh while.  If you are interested in spending extra time enjoying the unique wildlife of the Ibera Marsh, simply let the head guide know when you get here.

This is a great lodge to combine with a 3-4 days stay at the less remote Suinda lodge, which offers some unique fishing in its own right.

Uniquely positioned and supremely comfortable, the lodge has direct access to the Iberá Marshlands.
