Kau-Tapen Lodge, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

Kau-Tapen Lodge is located in the Tierra del Fuego in the heart of the Rio Grande – the world's best Sea Run Brown Trout river. It was the first lodge on the Rio Grande, over 27 years ago, and the standard of excellence by which other lodges, worldwide, are measured. Five world records have been set at Kau Tapen and 27-35 pound trout are caught each season. 20 pounders are caught weekly. 80% of their business is from repeat customers- quite an endorsement. The lodge accommodates 12 guests with ensuite bedrooms, living room with fireplace, tackle shop, fly tying table, 2 wading rooms, sauna, Finnish steam bath, and massage room. Sea-run brown trout migration cycles determine the fishing patterns, with both double and single-handed rods used. The lodge operates a catch-and-release program.
