October is one of the best months to fish the upper Parana. It marks the onset of the dorado spawning season, and the big fish in the river become particularly active and gravitate towards the surface (where they lay their eggs). Head guide Pinti from Amokagny Lodge sent over these pictures from fishing last week as a sampler of what’s …
While the golden dorado has long been admired in Argentina, until recently it was almost completely unknown to the outside world. Only within the last decade or so have dorado become recognized as one of the world’s most exciting and prized freshwater game fish. A unique species that defies categorization, the dorado is rather like a supernatural hybrid between a …
People often ask me when the best time and place to fish Patagonia or Argentina is. It’s a largely impossible questions, as there is no absolute “best” time or place to go, and where you decide to concentrate your efforts will depend largely on personal preferences. The purpose of this article is thus to provide some useful information on the …
Argentina, the world’s 8th largest country, encompasses more than 1 million square miles at the southern end of the South American continent (about 1/3 the size of the US). It extends from the Tropic of Capricorn all the way to windswept tundra in Tierra del Fuego, just a few hundred miles from Antarctica. Given its prodigious size, it’s no small …
We have spent the last couple of months guiding for our favorite fish, but this time over the Rio Grande at Despedida Lodge. General conditions have been good and the runs of fish very consistent. As we know Sea trout can be very moody, it doesn´t really matter how many fish there are in the pools, sometimes there can be 40 different …
Peter Ellis, owner of the venerable hard cider brands, Crispins and Foxbarrel, landed this gargantuan 14 kg dorado two days ago out of Amokagny Lodge on the Parana river in northern Argentina. As an added bonus, Peter has also been catching Pacu and Pira Pita, and perhaps most importantly, avoiding the dreary winter climate in England right now. I for one …
The Rio Grande is undoubtedly the best sea trout river on earth, though like any river, it will have its ups and downs over the course of the fishing season. To use an already overused phrase that fishermen love to employ in order to justify their occasionally (or often) bewildering pursuit – “that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching.” But like …
For those in the know, October is widely considered one of best times of the year to target dorado of monstrous proportions on the upper section of the Parana river in northern Argentina. An interesting fact of Dorado biology is that only the females reach sizes of 10+ pounds. Dorado typically spawn sometime in spring, which on the Parana river corresponds to …
Here are a few recent photos from our good friend and consummate guide, Tommy Sordelli of San Martin, who consistently slays huge browns on the Limay Medio. And often with dries! The Limay is definitely one of the premier trophy brown trout (these fish aren’t sea-run) destinations on earth for those willing to put the time in. Check it out.
We have been chasing migratory browns and rainbows the whole season but for sure this last couple of weeks have been the best! Fish over 10 pounds are caught daily on the Limay, if you are a good speycaster, then this is the river you should be fishing by the end of the season. Please check out this pictures and …
