The Dorado is a fantastic fish, I did this a few years ago and it was a great experience. If anybody is interested in going, I would certainly tag along.

Every serious angler should battle Golden Dorado at least once. These thick and gold colored fish are not only stunning to behold, they offer a blood pumping thrill to hook and land. Their aggressive strikes and acrobatics are matched only by Peacock Bass. A Dorado’s strong jaws and sharp teeth destroy flies, bend hooks and their strength will find any weak point in your rod.

From the Estancia, we fish 3 different water systems, all of which are undisturbed and teaming with exotic wildlife. With our expert guides, anglers enjoy 9 hours on the water, exploring the numerous creeks and channels that make up the Corriente and Parana River system.

Back at the lodge, five course dinners are served with fresh, regional dishes and fine wines. Non-anglers can enjoy viewing nature via horseback or boat. We even offer high-volume dove shooting within short drives from the lodge.

Here is something a bit different from one of my South American outfitters.

Find some of Argentina’s best Trout fishing while floating unspoiled rivers in solitude. Anglers fish from comfortable drift boats and by wading the shores and gravel bars. Dries and nymphs produce the majority of Rainbows and Browns, while streamers land usually the biggest Brown Trout. Thirty-fifty fish days are common.

Each trip is supported by a baggage boat rowed by our camp crew. Every 2 anglers will share a 4 man tent and sleep comfortably on cots and air mattresses. Each morning, breakfast includes eggs to order, fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt, juice and coffee. At lunch and dinner we dine on appetizers, grilled meats, fresh salads, pastas, fresh baked breads and dessert. Of course, we serve plenty of delicious wines and cold beer. The camp crew makes camp each day and completes daily chores. Your only job is to fish, eat, drink and sleep. With no daily drives to and from the river, you can spend every waking hour on the water.

On these trips, anglers will maximize their fishing time, all the while enjoying fine meals, evening campfires, a helpful staff and the beauty of wild Patagonia.
