Jim Dunville

Your guides, chef and staff were fantastic! We loved Nacho, Facu was wonderful, Paco, Gonzalo, Marteen, everyone was great! Everyone made every effort to make out trip fabulous!

Clare Grady

Very well run operation. The day spent on the lake was the highlight for me. I am impressed with how the operation has involved and improved over the years I have been coming. I did not think it could get any better, but was amazed this trip at all of the little things that have been thought of-fires in the cabins, members of the team available to help at any time and the food has always been good in the past, but has somehow been elevated to gourmet status.

Brad Carlson

Lucila and her attention to my pre-trip planning, Salta and the marsh, the FOOD!, Disparo and Rugua, ALL the staff attention to my needs and making me feel such a part of the Argentine culture, dinner on the Parana and simplicity of the charter flight back to Buenos Aires.

Brooke Crofts

We had the most wonderful weather and fishing in a perfect location with wonderful service and guides

Sarah Daubert

The marsh was incredible. Really made great because of the weather and the fishing. The guides were fantastic and the food was awesome. The river was tough fishing – but again, weather dependent. I enjoyed my time and grateful that our group all caught dorado’s and we were able to celebrate together.

Bryan Webb

Lisa McColl

Incredible Fishing, Food & Service… I’m a completely satisfied customer!

Matthew Johnson

Staff, guides, fishing, food, accommodations were five star. One of the best fishing trips ever. It was my third trip to this lodge and plan to keep coming. Alphonso and Marianne are exceptional. Thanks for making this trip for our group one we will not forget.

Fitzhugh Stout

The lodge accommodations, all staff and guides, food and drink were first-rate – couldn’t be better. You accommodated those in our group who had health issues arise – much appreciated. Wildlife in marsh was astounding. Nothing you could do about the weather, which clearly slowed up the fishing in the marsh. The style of fishing on the Parana was a bit surprising, but quite enjoyable with casting targets galore and excellent boat control.

Steve Born

Another wonderful trip with you guys. Will be coming back!

Geoff Murphy

Tim Bartz

Helicopter trips to rivers were amazing. Overnight at Trocoman House was special. Pajarito spring creek was incredible.

Scott Sinclair

The fishing was incredible, the accommodation was as well, and the staff was beyond friendly. The meals were memorable. Just Delicious. The two highlights for me were getting to fly the helicopter each day and catching the biggest trout I’ve ever landed on a fly rod. Pablo was so enjoyable to teach this old pilot some new tricks.

Kenneth Wells

The combined experience of the environment, the helicopter rides, the people, food and exceptional fishing made for my favorite fly fishing trip ever.
