Factfile
Villa Maria Lodge presents the very best of the fishing on the lower Rio Grande. Many miles of prime fishing for just ten rods per week. Two lodges; one for siesta use and the other for your overnight, makes Villa Maria an unique experience, with a level of service that’s hard to beat – both on and off the water. Â
Overview
Villa Maria offers an exclusive experience to a limited amount of rods per week. Villa Maria is situated on the lower Grande, where the river widens out and larger 14 ft rods are called for at times – certainly early and late season where these reaches still bear fruit. Villa Maria composes of two lodges, both used by the same group. One is the main residence, with the other, situated further upriver, being utilised for lunch and siestas and equipped with full lodge facilities. This is a unique experience and an extremely sought after one, especially for smaller parties wishing to escape the hedonism of the larger lodges. Indeed, availability is always at a premium at Villa Maria, which highlights its popularity and performance.Â
The lodge takes a maximum of six rods per week. A great choice throughout the year and a lodge that keeps producing the goods – 2 fish of over 30 lbs were taken from this lodge in the same season. An enviable guide pool with some of the best water on the river, especially early season and in summer lows. It is easy wading, but a sizeable river when carrying some water, given its location below where the Menendez enters.
