What makes TdF’s Sea-Runs so special?

Brown trout were introduced to the waters of Tierra Del Fuego from rivers in Europe, where they experienced intense conditions and a harsh environment. These fish endured and became some of the largest trout in the world. The story of how these fish arrived and adapted in Argentina is fascinating, and its essential for every traveling angler to know the tale.

Villa Maria Lodge, Feb 14-21, 2025:

Villa Maria Lodge is the closest lodge to the sea on the famous Rio Grande for giant sea-run brown trout. Situated on the Estancia José Menéndez, where the river broadens and pools become long slicks of "trouty" holding water, Villa Maria offers you the first shot at fish entering the system fresh from the sea. You will encounter bright sea-runs on strictly controlled estancia water. Villa Maria offers six bedrooms and bathrooms for just six guests weekly, including single rooms and shared guides as standard. There is 4 rods available at Villa Maria for the week of February 14-21, 2025. Reach out to Hank Ingram to learn more.
