Pluma Lodge

Week

June 28–5, 2025

This week brought a variety of fishing conditions, shaped largely by cooler water temperatures—especially during the early mornings. Some days started off slow, with dorados and other species showing less activity in the chilled flows. But as the sun rose and gradually warmed the water, the action picked up, leading to some truly rewarding late-morning and afternoon sessions.

Recent rains delivered a healthy push of water into the system, drawing in dorados, sábalos, and yatoranas into prime holding spots. While patience was definitely key at times, those who stayed focused were rewarded. Once the fish turned on, fly patterns like streamers and poppers proved highly effective.

We had the pleasure of welcoming guests from France and the UK, who got to experience both the quiet challenges and the adrenaline-filled highlights. The best bites often came under full sun, with several impressive dorados and yatoranas landed on the fly.

It was a week that reminded us: great fishing is always worth the wait.

Agua Negra

Week

June 27–04, 2025

The fourth week of the season brought excellent fishing, even though it turned out to be one of the coldest weeks we can remember. We had the pleasure of hosting four experienced anglers from Costa Rica, Scotland, and the United States.

Fishing remained solid throughout the week, with a mix of high-energy days and quieter ones due to a strong southern cold front that brought some rain and very low temperatures. Still, the quality of the fishing prevailed.

We managed to set up two camps on the Agua Negra, where we had great shots at dorados and landed some impressive pacu.

The Sécure River and Chimoro were the top performers, especially when targeting structures and riffles near the confluences.

Most of the big fish were caught in the lower Sécure, right at the junctions where the clear tributaries flow into the main river—classic spots that delivered once again.

SECURE

Week

June 27–04, 2025

The first week of the 2025 season at Sécure Lodge began with cool weather—cloudy skies, light rains, and low temperatures both in the air and in the water. Despite the chilly start, spirits were high and expectations even higher.

Thanks to a strong rainy season during the past summer, the river was in excellent condition. Water levels were high and crystal clear throughout the entire system—from the main channel to both creeks, Ashahana and Maniquicito. The overall fishing situation was truly promising, with consistent action across all beats. Everyone experienced plenty of strikes, and golden dorados were landed daily in solid numbers.

The best moment came on the final day, when temperatures started to rise, triggering aggressive takes and giving us great shots at dorados of all sizes. The highlight of the week was a stunning 18-pound female, landed right on the beach—an absolute beauty and the biggest fish of the week.
