Ken Tanaka of Wish4Fish visited Tsimane for what was a memorable trip — much of it captured in a new video.
FromWish4Fish:
“Ken Tanaka of Wish4Fish is back on the water! This time fly fishing in Bolivia at Tsimane Lodge with Untamed Angling.
I was down in Bolivia with Untamed Angling and Tsimane Lodge at their Secure Lodge in the jungle of Bolivia. I can say as of now this is my favorite fishery in the world. The chance to catch Golden Dorado, Pacu and Yatorana on the fly! If you’re lucky you can have the chance at some insane catfish like the Surubi and Moturo!
If you’re looking for a fly fishing destination for Golden Dorado then look no further, Untamed Angling is the only answer.”
The first months of the season have been thrilling to say the least. Another new video from Untamed Angling highlights some of the great fishing we’ve experienced so far this season.
SANTA CRUZ DE LA SIERRA, Bolivia (July 18, 2019) — Untamed Angling is pleased to announce the expansion of their operations into Cuba with El Faro Lodge.
Well-known for their lodges in Bolivia and Brazil, as well as their commitment to finding remote and pristine fly fishing destinations that offer world-class experiences unlike any other, Untamed Angling is excited to share Western Cuba with the angling world.
Backcountry flats, coral reefs, and expansive bluewater make these remote waters especially attractive for fly fishing and conventional angling. The Guanahacabibes Peninsula and its national park and biosphere reserve have been preserved for 40 years and offer world-class fishing for many flats and offshore species. The region is not only still wild and without fishing pressure, but it is also home to a unique mix of beaches, channels, mangroves, flats, and bluewater, thereby allowing anglers to take on different waters and experiences each day. El Faro Lodge will be the first and only beachfront fishing lodge in Cuba and will offer the first-class service and luxuries that Untamed Angling destinations are known for.
“We are very excited about this new destination in Cuba,” states Marcelo Pérez, CEO and founder of Untamed Angling. “This wild, beautiful, and huge national park and biosphere reserve offer anglers a wide variety of species and many diverse environments. This will be a new challenge and adventure that we are pleased to share with fellow anglers.”
As is with all of their destinations, Untamed Angling is deeply committed to protecting the ecosystem and preserving a way of life for the local community through sustainable fly fishing tourism. With their partners in Cuba, including the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust and Eckerd College, andCuban institutions, including CIM-UH, Guanahacabibes National Park, and the Center for Marine Research at the University of Havana (CIM-UH), Untamed Angling is actively supporting research programs and biological data collection to further understand the fishery and ecosystems.
El Faro Lodge will welcome its first clients for an exploratory season in May 2020.

A new issue of In The Loop Fly Fishing Magazine is now live online, and we are pleased to see that Tsimane is featured on the cover. Stephan Dombaj and Paulo Hoffmann from The Fly Fishing Nation joined us last year for a memorable trip, and many of their phenomenal photographs grace the pages of the new issue of this European digital magazine.
We are grateful and honored to have Tsimane recognized by MR PORTER as one of “Five Of The World’s Wildest Fishing Trips.” We agree — the jungle waters of Tsimane offer extraordinary wilderness fly fishing opportunities unlike anything else out there.
Untamed Angling always enjoys hosting well-known anglers whom we’ve respected over the years. Carter Andrews is among the most impressive anglers in the world, and his visit to Tsimane last year is now featured in a new episode of his new show Legendary Catch.
A new series on National Geographic, Legendary Catch follows Carter as he takes on some of the most exotic species in the world. At Tsimane, Carter fished for dorado. It was a great time had by all, and it’s exciting to see the footage on television. Learn more HERE.
Fly fishing for arapaima is a pursuit unlike any other. In an episode of The Venturing Angler Podcast, Rodrigo Salles of Untamed Angling discusses fly fishing for arapaima at Pirarucu.
We are big fans of Catch Magazine, and it is always exciting to see when an Untamed Angling destination is featured in the magazine. In the new issue of Catch Magazine, our very own Rafael Costa has an article about fly fishing for dorado at Tsimane. Nice work, Rafael!
