Las Buitreras Fishing Report 23rd January 2025

We’re up and running, and Season 23 at Las Buitreras is off to an incredible start. While the first few days presented some challenges—with temperatures reaching 25°C (77°F) and almost no wind—the fishing has improved significantly since then. As temperatures dropped and the wind picked up, the fishing turned on as expected. Water levels are excellent, and plenty of fish are making their way up the river. Several of our guests have seized the opportunity, landing what many would consider the fish of a lifetime.

Steinar, one of our long-time Norwegian friends, landed a stunning 21.3 lb fish in Molino Pool. Determined not to be outdone, his fishing partner Thor put in the work and landed an exceptional 19 lb fish in the same zone just a few hours later. This was in addition to his already impressive tally for the week, which included not one but two 17 lb fish.

As the second week drew to a close, we were treated to a small rise in water levels on the final day of fishing, giving the river that beautiful brown tint we love so much. Long-time guest Derek wasted no time taking advantage of the prime conditions, landing a gorgeous 20 lb hen fish in the famous Little Corner pool.

Just as we were about to send this newsletter, we received word that another long-time friend, John, landed a magnificent 23 lb fish.
