Accessible Golden Dorado Fishing

We've been looking for a long time for some great fishing that is easily accessible from Buenos Aires - something special as an add-on to a sea trout or dove shooting trip. Well, we've finally found it. 

Golden dorado are one of the finest game fish in South America, and we've been fishing for them in northern Argentina for quite a while. But here is something different - fabulous dorado fishing within about a 40 minute drive of Buenos Aires.

Golden Dorado are one of the most exciting freshwater fish

The ease of access makes this a perfect bolt-on to one of our other adventures, such as sea trout in Patagonia or dove shooting in Cordoba. If you're in Argentina next year, you've got to try this.

Explosive fishing

This is explosive, floating line fishing, with plenty of visual action and jumps galore. Because the location is so close to the Argentine capital, you can add a day excursion (or a few days) on to your trip and the guides will simply pick you up from your BA hotel early in the morning and drop you back in time for dinner.

Multiple hook-ups are common

The fish are typically in the 2lb-12lb bracket, but there are larger fish there. It's a great chance to see some spectacular scenery, experience a new type of fishing, and get extra value from your trip to Argentina - and all you have to do is book an extra night in the hotel!

Dorado country - beautiful scenery

Of course, for the ultimate dorado experience, there is Pira Lodge, in the Ibera Marshlands in northern Argentina. But for a taste of the golden dorado, this is superb.

Fish up to 12lbs are common - with some larger
