Pluma Lodge

Week

Sept. 27 - Oct. 04 , 2025

This week at Tsimane delivered another unforgettable and action-packed fishing adventure!

We enjoyed fantastic dorado fishing, landing plenty of strong, medium-sized fish and a few truly impressive trophies that made for great photos — even if some of the giants managed to escape.

After two days of rain, the river level rose and the sábalos resumed their migration, bringing with them more juvenile dorados and keeping the action steady and exciting throughout the week.

The most productive patterns were light-colored flies imitating sábalos, while dry flies mimicking jungle fruits and leaves produced spectacular surface takes from pacúes and yatoranas.

We were delighted to host a great group of anglers from the United States formed by Gavin, Jim, Mark, John and Maxwhell for the Classic Jungle Experience; and Kevin, Ryan, Terry, Lance, Graham, Tim and Chris hosted by our friend Justin Kemp for the Helifishing Experience.
All of them fully embraced the energy, adventure, and wild spirit that make Tsimane such a unique fly-fishing destination.

Week

Sept. 26 - Oct. 03, 2025

This week, Sécure Lodge welcomed five anglers for the 14th chapter of the season — four returning guests: Matt and Tobias, along with Sara and Matt Jenkins, hosted by Matt Heron, who had visited us a few seasons ago.

The week began with hot and sunny days until Wednesday, when a refreshing rain raised the river just a few inches. Fortunately, the water remained clear and clean, creating ideal fishing conditions across the system. The result was exceptional fishing, with medium to large golden dorados actively hunting in shallow bays, corners, and tailouts — offering a fun and steady game during the last two days.

The pacú activity was nothing short of spectacular. The “black plates” were on fire from start to finish, delivering what was easily the best pacú week of the season for this incredible sport species.

All guests also explored the Ashahana and Maniquicito creeks, where they landed massive yatoranas, fat pacúes, and aggressive dorados — the stars of some of the week’s most exciting moments.
