We are delighted to share the Bolivia 2024 season fishing reports from the Bolivian jungle lodges Sécure, Pluma and Agua Negra. These three superb, remote lodges offer exciting fishing in the Bolivian Amazon rainforest for dorado, pacú and yatornana. Keep checking back to this page for all the updates from the fishing guides.
Pluma Lodge – 2024 season fishing reports week 1, June 8 – 15 June
We opened the season with a lot of sábalo arriving in both the Secure and Pluma rivers. The fishing has been very good with many catches, and we’ve observed many dorado hunting in all the fishing beats.
There were also some excellent surface catches. Notably, two dorado weighing 13 and 15lb were caught, as well as two large pacú weighing 16lb. Many migratory dorado weighing 7-8lb were also caught, and we managed to catch yatoranas using fruit imitations. The season opener concluded excellently.
Secure Lodge – 2024 season fishing reports week 2, June 7 to 14
We hosted a group of six anglers, four Canadians coming for their fourth jungle trip, a Bolivian for the third, and one American living his first experience with dorado, on week two of our season here at Secure Lodge.
The week began with very well, and with a run of “mojarras” (small baitfish) the dorado turned very active, with the group landing good-sized fish in the upper and lower sections. Due to the increase of temperatures in both air and water, the pacú also showed up, giving us the chance to strand a good number on the shores.
At the end of the week anglers fished in both creeks, giving us the two biggest fish of the week: a 22lb. dorado and an 18lb pacú.
Secure Lodge – 2024 season fishing reports week 1, June 1 to 7
Secure Lodge opened the doors to a new 2024 season, receiving a hosted group of seven European anglers.
The week started off with cold water and low air temperature due to a cold front. The fish felt it, slowing down and staying in the deepest areas. Throughout the week conditions improved and the dorado became more active, in both the upper and lower sections. Maniquicito Creek also gave us multiple chances with big dorado, some of them coming up to the surface to take top water flies.
Anglers enjoyed experiening the camp waters, landing good sized dorado and having lot of action. The biggest fish of the week was an 18-pound dorado landed by Keyvan Pirouz.
Agua Negra Lodge – 2024 season fishing reports week 3, June 7 to 14
The third week of the season, after having had a run of dorado and sábalo the previous days, we had to look for the fish a little more upstream in the tributaries. Again, Agua Negra and Chimoro were the stars of the week.
Spending a night in the Upper Agua Negra, Eduardo and his daughter Mercedes enjoyed our out-camp and had many good chances of dorados and pacú.
The weather was good throughout the week with sunny days and pleasant nights. By the end of the week, we managed to land four big pacú, three dorado over 12lb as well as more than ten small and medium-size dorado, and some yatorana in the Chimoro River.
Agua Negra Lodge – 2024 season fishing reports week 2, June 1 to 7
The second week of the season gave us the chance to fish with four friends from Montana: Jo, Josh, Aron, and Jeff.
At the beginning of the week, we had a great arrival of sábalo and minnows which gave us the chance to fish very good dorados, four large pacú, and several yatoranas following the migration and taking advantage of the dorados feeding.
We were also able to do two camps in the Agua Negra, where the fishing opportunities were very good. There we also managed to catch some very good dorado and even more pacú.
