Trip Overview

This traditional duck hunting lodge, is opening its doors today to recieve enthusiastic fishermen who want to try the incredible experience of Dorado fishing. Located on the delta of Parana river, in Entre Rios province, you will have the chance of searching for freshwater Dorados sailing through thousands of streams, trying to catch this combative fish. Fly fishing is the most popular type of fishing, but spin fishing and live bait are allowed too.

The Dorado (Salminus Maxillosus) or "the Tiger of the Paraná" is a very aggressive fish in sport fishing. Although the dorado may reach 30 pounds, the average size in this area has held between 4 and 12 pounds, but there are also larger ones.

The freshwater Dorado is considered to be the single most challenging native freshwater game fish of South America. It is a radiant, golden-hued, salmon-like fish with an extremely powerful jaw and razor-sharp teeth. Unlike the salmon, however, the Dorado does not succumb after spawning and never swims to the ocean. The Dorado is an exceptionally strong swimmer. The world record is 70 pounds.
