The
Fish:
Dorado is a favourite game fish of local fishermen in Argentina, people
call, Tiger of the River, is really an Argentina's Golden Treasure.
Is considered to be, the most challenging fresh water game fish of
South America, for the superb fighting Spirit, with the aerobatics
leaps, powerful strikes, and line stretching runs The scientific name
is Salminus Maxillosus, where describe the powerful jaws.
The name Dorado (Golden) refers to the beautiful colours, yellow,
orange, and black, combination of this, produce spectacular flashes,
when it jump, under the gleaming sun.
The average weight is between 6 Pds (3Kg.) to 12 Pds.(6Kg.), is normal
a broken line, result of the brutal attack from a heavy fish. Very
few people have already seen it. The small Dorados are best described
as a prehistoric Trout, with huge head, and powerful jaws. Live in
an area between southern Brasil, down to Buenos Aires .
The fishing season run from September to May, but the best moment
is December to March, because is the hottest period.

 |
Larger Dorados, normally
hunt alone, and are very active in late hours (dusk). The largest
fish on record is believed to be a close 75 Lbs (34 Kg.).
Golden, take the fly hard, and are famous for their jumping abilities,
and hard run. The sharp teeth, and powerful jaws will bend out hooks,
and may cut wires.
We advise to use barb less hooks, with good penetration, for a quick
release. This fish live in hostile environment, and then you may find
with their tales and fins, bitten by piranhas and others Dorados.
|
Local people catch Dorados
using dead bait, but a large lure or wobblers is very good.
In places for fly fish, you may expect to catch around 10 to 12 Dorados
a day. You will lose as many fish as you catch, and remember, that,
hooks must to be razor sharp. Fishing is done mainly from the banks
of the river and lagoons.
The day starts at dawn, visiting the numerous fishing sites, until
sunset. The fishermen have the option to return to lodge, enjoy a
lunch and take a nap, to return later to fish. |
