Secure Lodge
Week
August 22–29, 2025
We had the pleasure of hosting the 9th week at Sécure Lodge with a wonderful group of five guests from Argentina — four of them returning anglers.
The week brought unique challenges as a strong cold front moved in, bringing rain and unusually low temperatures. It turned out to be the coldest week of the season, both in the air and in the water.
Even so, every angler had exciting chances and connections with dorados of all sizes, venturing far upriver and deep into the Maniquicito Creek. The fish responded well to classic streamers as well as topwater patterns, including GDGs, a variety of poppers, and even mouse imitations.
Pacús, being more sensitive to cold water, proved more elusive — but persistence paid off with two remarkable trophies. One of them was taken in a large, deep upstream pool under heavy rain, on a tiny fly specially designed for these “black plates,” creating a truly unforgettable moment.
