Suindá Lodge

DORADO, PIRA PITA AND PACU ON THE UPPER PARANA RIVER, CORRIENTES, ARGENTINA

The newly constructed riverfront destination offers fly fishers and conventional fishing guests unmatched, warm-water Argentine species diversity from a river-access-only lodge. The seven-acre property is located in Corrientes province on the legendary Parana River—the border of Argentina and Paraguay. In this tropical province, the Parana flows controlled well below the Yacyreta dam. The river is rich with species along high flora-shrouded banks, vast sand bars, islands that create deltas, and smaller "riachos" or braids.

Fishing

C22-footer Braniff’s, custom-made with 200 4-stroke engines, fore and aft casting decks, and poling platforms are built exclusively for Suinda. Fly and conventional anglers cast to pira pita targeting insects in the jungle canopy, monster pacu sipping fruit and flowers, and sight fishing for dorado.

Accommodation

Suindá Lodge lies on a grassy vista overlooking Parana River & Paraguay. Five bedrooms accommodate up to 10 guests (or 12 if 2 couples) in A/C suites. 4 rooms with 2/King beds each and 2 rooms w/single king beds. Argentine & international cuisine are paired with legendary Bodega Catena Zapata wines.

Gear

6 & 7 wt. fly rods for Pirá Pitá and Pacú & 8&9 wt. for Dorado w/ floating lines and tropical sink-tips lines for heavier rods. Knotable wire leader is a must. Tropical weight flats clothing and plenty of sun protection is necessary. A full gear list is provided upon booking.
