Villa María Lodge – Week 12: March 14th to 21st, 2025

We wrapped up Week 12 at Villa María Lodge, and there’s no denying that autumn is starting to make its presence felt on the river system.

The week began with cold water, ranging from 7 to 8.5 degrees Celsius, which slowed the fishing down considerably. As often happens with sudden drops in water temperature, the fish needed time to adapt before returning to their usual behavior. By the third day, one of Rio Grande’s famous winds picked up, reducing visibility to just 30 cm. However, this seemed to trigger the fish, and we saw some excellent fishing as a result.
