JETU’U
Marsh and river, the best of both worlds
Location
Located on the middle section of the Parana river below the town of Goya, Jetu’u sits on the banks of the Isoro marsh national preserve. You can spend your day chasing dorado, piranha, chafalote (dog or vampire fish), tararira (wolf fish), and other species in the marsh, or venture out into the middle Parana to chase big dorado. Two different fisheries at one lodge!
Fishing
Jetu’u is located south of the city of Goya on the Isoro marsh. The marsh itself is part of a natural preserve and full of small to medium sized fish that are often happy to eat surface flies as well as streamers.
While you can spend days on the marsh, a short boat ride from the lodge and you are on the middle section of the Parana. Here you will be fishing sand banks, logs, clear water lagoons that mix with the main river, and sand flats.
The waters on the middle Parana tend to run with a bit more color than the upper section which can mean shorter casts and a bit less wary fish. Remember to strip your fly all the way to the boat here!
Beat the heat trips
When things are hot and humid in the North American summer, Jetu’u has comfortable temperatures, and some great fishing! Escape the weather and enjoy some great fishing.
Two styles, one lodge.
Jetu’u is suited for every level of dorado angler. Anglers new to fly fishing for dorado and people who want a casual fishing day will enjoy the fishing in the marsh. When you get the itch to test your skills on a shot at larger fish you can head out to the big river.
The location of the lodge gives you unparalleled and uncrowded access to both fisheries.
DAILY ROUTINE
You will typically leave early in the morning and fish until mid day. You will head back to the lodge for lunch and a siesta, or visit a local gaucho’s house for the mid day break.
You fish until dark, and return to the lodge for your professionally prepared local cuisine.
Lodging
Jetu’u is located on the Isoro marsh with a log-cabin-style lodge a few steps from the dock. The lodge is cozy and comfortable and features five double occupancy rooms with air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. There is an indoor dining area with bar, and room outside for a meal too. Wifi is available through the lodge. They also have a small pool which can be welcome refresher while fishing in the tropical heat.
