Bolivia – Agua Negra Lodge- A unique fishery in a pristine environment, combined with a deep respect for the indigenous culture.
Bolivia Agua Negra Lodge is the very first project that started the whole sustainable angling model of Untamed Angling. To this day, it remains the most emblematic example of our goals. Which is a unique fishery in a pristine environment, combined with a deep respect for the indigenous culture. Mix with a first-class lodge and impeccable service, and you have the Tsimane experience.
Agua Negra River
The Agua Negra River is an important tributary of the Sécure River. A clear shallow stream running east to west, with easily accessible wading. The Lower Agua Negra has a low gradient similar to a floodplain river. Its water is clear and gentle. The river meanders through a valley with sandy beaches, deep runs, and cover. Which holds strong populations of dorado, pacú,and yatorana. Shallow waters and rocky bottom make this an ideal place to sight cast. To be successful on these waters you must use a floating line, long leaders, and a delicate presentation.
Secure River — Middle Section
The middle section of the high Sécure River runs from Ushwea Village to the confluence of the Chimoro and Sécure Rivers. The fishing here is conducted by wading downstream, and we travel via dugout canoes, poled or engine-powered. The middle section of the Sécure River is shallow and open, with flats in sandy river banks. Its clear waters gradually become stained due to tributaries that sweep sediments in from the high plateau. The logs, sunken trees, and subsurface structure are the perfect ambush points for a large number of big dorado.
Chimoro Stream
The Chimoro comes down from the same mountain range as Agua Negra River. This small, crystal-clear stream holds a large population of average-size dorado (up to 15 pounds) and a great deal of yatorana. Its main characteristic is that anglers have the very entertaining opportunity to fish with light gear (a five-weight rod), small streamers, and even dry flies to catch good-sized yatoranas. A 12-pound dorado on a five-weight rod in such a small stream like the Chimoro is an unforgettable experience!
