Here’s a couple photos I wanted to share that our friend Peto sent me earlier this summer. The giant catfish is a highly-prized Surubi. Peto is a down to earth, die hard fly fishing guide, knows the Rio Parana like the back of his hand, and speaks more languages than I can count on one hand. Can’t wait to go …
Just an update. We’ve been in the Amazon rainforest of Bolivia a few weeks ago, scouting and checking the fishing conditions before our first season starts up in August.

Over the last couple weeks I’ve been fortunate enough to fish with expert local guides and friends such as Willy Ricigliano, Juan Cruz, Mariano Wainstein …
When you talk to seasoned Dorado fishermen about their favorite places to fish, the name Repeski comes up quite often, and it’s easy to see why. My first experience fishing the area was last July with our friend & consummate guide, Peto. Although the middle of winter wasn’t prime time, I was enthralled with the style of fishing and saw …
Situated in the virgin Esteros del Ibera in Corrientes province, Pira Lodge is the most recognized lodge in the world of Dorado fly fishing.

Caiman and capabarra (the largest rodent in the …
