LOCATION & TRAVEL

TIERRA DEL FUEGO – RIO GRANDE, ARGENTINA Anglers from North America travel overnight to Buenos Aires (EZE), transfer to the domestic airport (AEP) for a connecting two+ hour flight to Ushuaia or Rio Grande, Argentina with Aerolineas or Lan Argentina.

From Ushuaia (preferred airport) anglers are transferred by ground approximately three hours to the Estancia. Most travelers elect to spend at least one night in Buenos Aires on the front end. Our concierge service and travel agents in Buenos Aires will assist with ground transfers, tours, hotel reservations, and domestic airfare with the local airlines. +

TYPE OF FISHING & SPECIES

SEA-RUN BROWN TROUT EXCLUSIVELY Two-handed spey fishing for an average of 6-10 trout that average 10-14 pounds with a handful of fish pushing thirty pounds landed each season. Very easy wading and not particularly complicated tackle.

Experienced steelhead and Atlantic Salmon fishermen immediately feel “in their element.” Quartering downstream with streamers or dead drifting nymphs are the most common methods used, and skated dry flies are terrific when the conditions are right. +

SEASONALITY & WHEN TO GO

BOTH THE MAIN LODGE AND LA VILLA ARE OPEN FROM LATE DECEMBER THROUGH MID APRIL. The most sought after dates are late January, February and March, the center and most pleasant part of the short, near-Antarctic summer. Because the most productive week of the season shifts ever year and can’t be consistently targeted on the calendar, the best time to be on the Rio Grande is unpredictable. But it’s all good! +

IS ESTANCIA MARIA BEHETY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Estancia Maria Behety is considered one of the most popular and respected fishing lodges on the planet, and the EMB water is considered the best on the Rio Grande. Sea-run brown trout fishing is not typically a numbers contest. Becoming proficient with a 2-handed rod is highly recommended (and not difficult to learn), and experienced anglers should expect to average landing a half dozen fish a day. Swinging flies is not for everyone, especially if you are a dry fly purist. Non-anglers are blown away at La Villa with very luxurious accommodations, however there are not many organized activities outside of fishing. +

COST & EXPENSES

7 NIGHTS / 6 DAYS FISHING RANGES FROM $4295 - $6695 DEPENDING ON THE WEEK AND LODGE CHOICE. Additional expenses include but are not limited to airfare to Buenos Aires, hotel and services in Buenos Aires, Airfare to Ushuaia or Rio Grande with Aerolineas or Lan, Gratuities, $160 Reciprocity Tax. See RATES for details.

THE

DESTINATION

Tierra del Fuego (“Land of Fire”) is literally located at the end of the earth on the southern tip of South America. It is actually an archipelago separated from the mainland by the Strait of Magellan and collectively forms the Cape Horn, only a few hundred miles from Antarctica. The Rio Grande is located on a northerly portion of Tierra del Fuego known as the “estepa”, or the region of southern Patagonia signified by its isolation and endless panoramic rolling hills. The Rio Grande River is the most popular sea-run brown trout river in the world, and runs upstream (west) from the Pacific Ocean and the town of Rio Grande for approximately eighty kilometers before entering the Chile.

In 1520, Ferdinand Magellan, searching for the western route to the Indies saw smoke rising to the south while navigating the straits that have since been named in his honor. It is said that the smoke was from signal fires lit by native Ona people, alerting their communities that something new and strange had been spotted on the horizon, a tall ship. Magellan named the island, Tierra del Fuego, “The Land of Fire.”

The main Estancia Maria Behety Lodge and the restored mansion called La Villa Maria Behety. The fences of the Estancia Maria Behety surround 495 square miles of cattle and sheep grazing country, approximately 275,000 acres. All of these pampas border the northern bank of the Rio Grande opposite the Estancia Jose Menendez and Estancia Despedida.

The three fishing lodges on the opposite bank alternate daily use of slightly 32 miles of Estancia Maria Behety river frontage in a friendly, organized and harmonious relationship that insures a quality and private experience for everyone on the river.

an average of nearly a mile of private water for every single fisherman.

Everything about Estancia Maria Behety revolves around the Menendez Family’s personal guarantee and total commitment to offering the finest fly fishing experience in the Americas. The guides are renowned for both their intimate knowledge of the Rio Grande and consistent success in bringing monster sea trout to the bank. All of the guides at the lodges on the Rio Grande are Argentines. In fact the entire staff and management at both lodges on the Estancia Maria Behety are home grown; the chefs, hostess, maids, yard boys, every single employee is there to meet and/or exceeded your trip expectations.

From its promontory nearly 30 kilometers from the estancia entrance, Estancia Maria Behety Lodge and La Villa Maria Behety are within minutes of more than 100 of the finest pools on the river and their location alone ensures one of the top trophy trout trips on the planet. The distinctive architecture of the historic turn-of-the-century ranches of Tierra del Fuego is incorporated in the design of the lodge. The view from both lodges is a breathtaking panorama that encompasses the river valley and the remnants of the Andean cordillera to the

These big brown trout are much like Pacific salmon and steelhead, in that they’re most active in low light conditions. The scientists call them nega-phototropic, and as the sun gets higher, fish retreat to the deepest parts of the pools. Perhaps it’s because they’re used to the deeper sea, or they feel exposed to predators in bright sunlight, but it’s a fact they’re more aggressive and much more likely to strike a fly in the early morning, late evening, or when it’s overcast. In mid-day, when the sun is at its highest, they’re unlikely to respond to even the most perfectly presented fly. One of the reasons so many photos of the Rio Grande mega trout look like deer caught in the headlights is that most are caught early or late in the day.

Most anglers arrive shortly after first light and will see dozens of fish rolling on the surface of the pools in the blush of the dawn. Action is usually red hot for a couple of hours and then begins to taper off. The reverse is true at the end of the day, and it’s

Two-handed rods have become very popular on the Rio Grande and are excellent tools for covering the water, especially when the wind is howling or the river is up and wider than normal. In the last three years we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of Rio Grande anglers using two-handed rods. 7 5 percent of the Rio Grande anglers are fishing the big double-handed guns now. Two-handed rods are arguably the most efficient tool to fish the

Rio Grande; they make it easy for a lot of anglers, especially those with shoulder or elbow problems.

Single-handed 8-weight rods matched with stout reels and assortment of interchangeable tips still have their place on the Rio Grande and, in the right conditions fish can be taken on the surface. However, sink-tip lines streamers and nymphs account for the vast majority of trophy trout.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Guests have the option of booking trips to one of two lodges on the massive Maria Behety property.

This includes the main lodge building as well as the smaller and more opulent, La Villa:

built in Patagonia in the early 1900’s with the addition of all the modern convenience and amenities you would expect in a 21st century fly fishing lodge.

There are 8 double occupancy rooms in the lodge that can accommodate a maximum of 16 guests, though EMB limits it to 12 anglers total during a typical week. The extra rooms allow a handful of

plus high ceilings with banks of elevated windows allowing streaming sunlight to naturally illuminate the space and add warmth. A roaring fireplace anchors the main room and several sitting areas are the gathering spot to relive the fishing of the day and relax with wonderful appetizers and a cocktail.

A full bar is well stocked with all the right libations including the finest Argentine wines and plenty of ice cold beer. Dinners are served in the main dining room just of the great room and for those that enjoy a good smoke a special room at the front of the

Guest at La Villa will enjoy a very meticulously built and finished single level lodge that is comfortable, warm, inviting and efficient; designed exclusively with anglers in mind. The architectural style inside and out at La Villa is turn of the century Patagonian with the addition of every modern convenience available. All the rooms at La Villa are private, single occupancy rooms; elegantly decorated featuring a spacious private bathroom with a glass walk in shower, Jacuzzi tub and large vanity and sink area.

great room “The Bad Boys Room” is available. Additionally, there is a computer with internet service to check emails as well as a complete gift/tackle shop.

Meals at Estancia Maria Behety revolved around the two per day fishing schedule. Usually anglers are up at 7:00 a.m. and fresh coffee and hot tea is available to shake the cobwebs out. In the dining room a sideboard is topped with fresh fruit, hand-squeezed juices, yogurt, cereals, toast and pastries. For those that prefer a more traditional American breakfast, cook to order eggs, omelets, potatoes, bacon and ham are available from the kitchen. As is typical in South America the midday meal is grand, a full sit down meal with great wines, delicious desserts and good strong coffee. Dinners are served later than what most are accustomed to in order to accommodate the late evening fishing secession typical on the Rio Grande Dinners are usually lighter than the midday meal and a perfect night-cap before getting some sleep and starting all over again the next morning.

During non-angling times between double daily fishing secessions, guest will gather in one of two living areas where fishing tales are told, cocktails enjoyed and the next fishing sortie is anticipated with the warmth and comfort of a crackling fire burning in the fireplace. The dining schedule at La Villa is determined by the fishing program and every consideration within reason is given to the most productive times to be on the river. All meals are served in the formal dining room; creations of talented Argentine chefs using fresh ingredients from the greenhouse and meat raised and processed on the estancia. A fully stocked 9,000 bottle wine cellar featuring some of the finest Argentine varietals and full open bar add to the experience. Other amenities at La Villa include radiant floor heat, 24 hour internet service, wader/equipment room, designated fly tying areas and gift and tackle shop.

LA VILLA CAPACITY The lodge will hold a maximum of 6 guests per week in single occupancy bedrooms.

TRAVEL & ITINERARY Guests fly direct to Buenos Aires, Argentina from Dallas/Ft. Worth, Miami, or New York on an overnight flight arriving the following morning. Fishermen then gather their luggage, clear customs, and are met by a driver who transfers the group approximately one hour to the Domestic Airport for the flight to either Ushuaia or Rio Grande aboard Aerolineas Argentina or Lan Airlines. Upon arrival in Ushuaia or Rio Grande, the group is then met at the baggage claim by someone from the Maria Behety staff and driven to the Estancia.

NOTE ABOUT USHUAIA VERSUS RIO GRANDE FLIGHT ITINERARIES: The drive time from Ushuaia is approximately three hours to the lodge. The drive time from Rio Grande is approximately 45 minutes to the lodge. However, there are more numerous and flexible flight itineraries to and from Buenos Aires (AEP) and Ushuaia then there are to/from Rio Grande. The advantages of the Rio Grande routing is the short drive from the airport to the lodge, however this is a once a day flight with a very early departure out of Buenos Aires (which requires an overnight in Buenos Aires the night prior). Either routing, we will coordinate meet and greet at the airport and auto transfer to the lodge.

NOTE ABOUT LOL ARGENTINA (OUR BUENOS AIRES CONCIERGE) Gaia and LOL Argentina is our recommended choice for assistance in Buenos Aires. In addition to booking your domestic flights in Argentina, one of the many services LOL provides is complete airport assistance, which is invaluable for most non-Spanish speakers.

WHEN TO GO The big sea-run brown trout start to return to the pools of the Rio Grande in significant numbers around Thanksgiving. Less than a month later the river is loaded with fish and it is estimated that by the first day of each New Year, nearly 80% of the escapement has reached their annual family reunion.

That translates into more than a thousand monster trout per river mile. The fish initially herd up in the best lower river pools, though hundreds more of the silver sea trout continue to pour into the Rio Grande on every high tide, twice a day until sometime in May. The most sought after dates are late

January, February and March, the center and most pleasant part of the short, near-Antarctic summer.

Because the most productive week of the season shifts ever year and can’t be consistently targeted on the calendar, the best time to be on the Rio Grande is unpredictable. But it’s all good! Consider that thousands of these huge fish are caught each season, yet when population studies are compared to accurate catch records, it’s clear that a surprisingly small number of the fish present (which don’t actively feed after they return to the river) actually end up being hooked. What triggers their aggres-

ESTANCIA MARIA BEHETY - TIERRA DEL FUEGO, SOUTHERN ARGENTINA

sive behavior and when it happens is arguable, but what can’t be challenged is that every week on the Rio Grande can be, and usually is phenomenal.

Time your Trip for January, February, March, or the first two weeks of April. While mid-season offers the most pleasant weather, the best weeks ever recorded have been the last weeks of the season. Randy Berry and his friends from Teton Valley Lodge in Idaho once averaged 53 fish per rod during what some consider to be the most difficult week of the Tierra del Fuego summer.

NON-ANGLING ACTIVITIES La Villa de Maria Behety is the most deluxe fly fishing lodge in all of Argentina. Guests enjoy the old world charm of the beautifully restored Menendez family mansion, and no lodge in Tierra del Fuego is more appropriate for non-anglers.

Amenities

beyond near-exclusive access to the superb fishing include a 7,000-bottle wine cellar, private rooms, Jacuzzi tubs, and a marvelous kitchen.

Fly fishing is the predominant activity at both lodges. Non-anglers are welcome to join fishing guests

Early season fish are very aggressive, full of fight, and acrobatic. They move readily to dries, and three of the largest sea trout ever recorded were caught and released in January. The most productive weeks of the season shifts each year and can’t be consistently targeted on the calendar. The best week to be on the

to the main lodge, however there are very limited non-angling activities available other than hiking, relaxing at the lodge, and observing wildlife. The warm hospitality on the ranch and gorgeous landscape is a very calming place to enjoy a book and relax while angling companions are on the river.

Rio Grande is whichever best suits your schedule. In fact, when the weather cooperates, nearly every day of the season is good!

WHEN TO MAKE YOUR TRAVEL PLANS TO TIERRA DEL FUEGO: Guest capacity at our Rio Grande properties is purposely small in order to deliver exceptional personal service and a world-class fishing experience. Our lodges’ limited capacity, as small as six and no larger than twelve, results in space becoming extremely tight, especially during high-demand months of January, February and March. Therefore, if you are serious about booking a trip to the Rio Grande it is important to get on the wait list as soon possible. Usually by the end of May we are in position to offer rod space to those on the waiting list. That is not to say that prime space isn’t available later in the year, but if you are set and going and want to secure pick-of-the-litter dates – get on the wait list and book early!
