Tsimane - Agua Negra Lodge

NATIONAL PARK AND INDIGENOUS TERRITORY BOLIVIA; FLY FISHING FOR GOLDEN DORADO.

Tsimane is located within a National Park and Indigenous Territory where the Amazon Jungle meets the Andes in Bolivia. The landscape is incredible, and its rivers are streams of clear water running through the jungles and mountains with wading and sight-casting-friendly banks. Freshwater golden dorado are the target, and Agua Negra Lodge blends the best aspects of fly fishing: sight-casting, freestone wet wading, light fly tackle, and stalking four tenacious game fish species reaching significant sizes. In addition, the location also has great pacu, yatorana, and surubi fishing

Fishing
