Location: Corrientes and Parana River - Located on
the southwest corner of the Corrientes province, 650 kms north
of Buenos Aires, Esquina is a unknown destination for most
anglers. Right where the Corrientes and the Paraná rivers meet
creating a delta where you have lots of different options for
fishing, including Dorado and Sea Trout
Offering: Sea Trout & Dorado, Known as the Tiger of
the Rivers the Golden Dorado is extremely voracious fish prefers
to wonder close to confluences, near the shores and in spots
with current where he can find more oxygen and its prey,
although he has a good capacity to adapt to spots of with no
current. This golden salmon is strong and it can get up to more
than 30 pounds, being the usual capture between 4 to 18 pounds,
and once hooked this fish gets very acrobatic giving a superb
fight. The season is almost all year round, from January to
November. As these fish are STRONG FIGHTERS a No. 7 to 9 weight
rod is required. Saltwater Reels are recommended, but if not any
reel with a good drag system. Due to the sharp teeth and the way
these Dorados attack the flies, its a must to add a section of
20 lb steel Leader to the end of your line. Our experience has
told us that the best lines are WF floating lines for tropical
weather, intermediate, and fast sinking lines like the Teeny´s
200 and 300 grains. Flies that get most of their attention are
deceivers in dark colors combined with chartreuse, red, orange
and yellow.
Accommodations: The 6-room lodge is perfectly located
on the edge of the Rio Corriente close to were it meets with the
Paraná river. The pure scenery and vegetation of this area its a
reason enough to visit this place, but the lodge itself makes
the perfect contrast with the surrounding environment.
Location: Argentina on the Uruguay River below the
Salto Grande Dam.
Offering: Trophy Golden Dorado Fishing - A fishing
treasure, one gleaming in gold, awaits at the
Argentine-Uruguayan border. The freshwater dorado is causing
“gold fever” for the anglers who have had the fortunate
opportunity to fish for them and have others clamoring to
prospect for them under the Salto Grande dam. From its
inception, the fantastic fishing destination referred to as “La
Zona” has earned the deserved reputation of being home to the
largest freshwater golden dorados found anywhere in the world.
More record class fish have come from this fishery than any
other fishable waters in South America.
The lodge, based from an estancia (ranch) just minutes from the
water, is nestled in idyllic surroundings draped in palm and
eucalyptus trees, making it the perfect place to unwind after an
enjoyable day on the water. The lodge boasts a private pool to
shed the day's heat and to relax sore muscles before a lavish
and hearty supper is served. There are 4 air conditioned private
rooms, each with its own private bathroom. Included in the
package are delicious meals, cocktails and excellent Argentine
wines.
Accommodations: Anglers will be accommodated at an
Argentinean estanchia, a beautiful ranch five minutes from the
river. Delectable chef prepared meals and drinks are included.
