The Parana River Delta
The Parana river flows from north to south washing the cost of Santa Fe Province and North of Buenos Aires to the west and Entre Rios Province to the East. Close to its mouth in Rio de la Plata it forms a vast Delta full of small rivers, islands and wetlands, most of them on Entre Rios Province side.
The Uruguay River
The Uruguay River flows north to south and is the natural limit between Argentina and Uruguay at Entre Rios Province height. Its mouth it’s also in Rio de la Plata, same as Parana River. The structures we can find are submerged trees, lagoons, small rivers and banks but with a slower water speed than Parana River.
The Fishing
We will be targeting Golden Dorado (Salminus Maxilosus) in the range of 2 to 8 pounds with chances to hook a 15-pounder trophy. Our fishing starts 30 minutes after leaving the dock in our 17-foot skiffs equipped with electric trolling motor remote controlled by our guide to approach fishing spots quietly. We will be fishing many different structures where this predator waits for its pray like, submerged trees, head of islands, banks, branches and exit of small rivers or lagoons.
We can also target another species on this location called Tararira (Hoplias Malabaricus) or Wolf Fish. Is a prehistoric look predator who attacks surface flies when they are active. Sight fishing can be done on shallow lagoons. Sizes are a little smaller than average dorado but they are also very acrobatic fighters.
Our Fishing guides are local experienced anglers that have been exploring the area and fishing Golden Dorado for many years. Please follow their advice, designed to maximize your enjoyment of this incredible fighting fish. They will offer you tips on which is the best technique, fly or presentation to fish each area as it best.
