FLY FISHING BUENOS AIRES
GOLDEN DORADO FISHING TRIPS.
Flyfishing in Rio de la Plata & Paraná Delta Rivers.
35 minutes from the City Centre.
Season 2025/26'
THE EXCURSIONS.
For all those Fly Fishing lovers who visit Buenos Aires, we offer you the adventure of Fishing “Golden Dorados”, just 30 minutes from the center of the city of Buenos Aires.
The different excursions consists of chasing “Golden Dorado” in the Río de la Plata and Delta Paraná Rivers. We arrive to structures such as scree, sandbanks, channels, wells and areas of vegetation, where the dorado hunt shad and other forage species.
THE SPECIES, "GOLDEN DORADO".
The Golden dorado is a native species that lives in the Plata Basin. There are records of Dorados that weigh more than 20 pound in the Río de la Plata, although the average catch is 4 to 6 pound, with catches greater than 10 pound.
They are caught with streamers, rats or dries. With #6 equipment and float lines with 9-foot leaders and steel ends to avoid cuts from their sharp teeth.
Its behavior is that of a predator that looks for river structures that make hunting easier. In these stalking places, it takes advantage of stones and vegetation to surprise its prey, the different currents (product of variations in water level) that bring food to them. They can often be seen hunting in 30 cm of water.
El Dorado is undoubtedly one of the most coveted species by fishermen around the world. Its violent attack followed by acrobatic jumps and fierce runs honor the unique sensation that fly fishing gives us.

Joaquin is a great guide and was very fun to hangout with! He worked hard to put me on fish in tough early season conditions and was very knowledgeable. I’m looking forward to the next time I’m in Buenos Aires, I will definitely be giving him a call again!

I had a wonderful time! I came to Argentina for a conference, the team picked me up from the airport after I landed and took me straight out to go fishing. The scenary was amazing, the guides very experienced and I managed to catch 3 beautiful Golden Dorado! We fished for the day, and the team got me back to my hotel in Buenos Aires in time for my conference start in the evening.

We had a fantastic time fishing! My wife and I booked a trip on our last day in Buenos Aires before our evening flight home. Joaquin organized our transportation to and from the airport and got us a great lunch. The fishing was great as we hooked and landed many beautiful golden dorado all within a short distance from downtown Buenos Aires. He is very friendly and did a great job guiding us! We look forward to fishing with Joaquin the next time we are in Buenos Aires! Thanks!

Refreshing lunch box appreciated. Cool photos taken and forwarded to client . My day was complete after a couple of fish plus the sighting of a few bigger ones!"

From the time I got picked up at 7am until I got dropped off in the afternoon, I had an incredible time. My guide Joaquin, not only spoke very good English, but was also very knowledgeable about the area, the water, and the fish. Despite taking a chance on a ‘late in the season’ trip, I still caught a handful of fish and had an excellent day. Definitely recommend if you have a day to burn in Buenos Aires. All of the equipment was provided also, which allowed me to not deal with the hassle of flying with gear.

Joaquín is a passionate, dedicated, and experience fly guide. He was patient and attentive in teaching me the nuances to fly fishing for Dorado, and worked incredibly hard for us to put me on 3 nice Dorado in far from ideal conditions. It was a trip I will definitely remember for the rest of my life and would recommend fishing with Buenos Aires Fly Fishing to anyone.

This was an amazing trip! Joaquin is a very knowledgeable guide. He knew the water like the back of his hand and where to find the fish. Super friendly, very patient - I would 10/10 recommend Joaquin to any tourist/friend looking to catch some quality Dorado!

The trip was great - Joaquin made it fun for me and my wife and we had a great day. We chased some bigger dorado in the morning and while I got strikes wasn’t able to land one. Then they cooked us lunch which was fantastic. In the afternoon he got both my wife and myself to land multiple dorado, with 1 a really good size. I would recommend Joaquin to a friend if they were visiting Buenos Aires.

My wife and I had the pleasure of fishing with Joaquin in the middle of February. The wind was blowing and the conditions were less than ideal, however Joaquin really went out of his way to make the overall experience enjoyable. We covered a bunch of water, tried many different techniques and caught several very nice fish. Given the fact that every body of water is different and requires subtle adjustments when fishing with the fly, Joaquin really helped in getting me on the right track immediately. He really is passionate about the fishing and the delta and it shows in his work. I would 100% book with Joaquin again. He presents an incredible opportunity for those that are limited in time by not being able to dedicate more than a day to leave the city of Buenos Aires by offering partial day trips within close proximity to the city. Highly recommend!

Had an enjoyable day out with Joaquín who proved to be a good teacher of the fly technique needed to catch Dorado. He found fish in a couple places and eventually put me on to some good fish. Three hooked, one landed. Very happy with that for my first try. Lunch, simple but delicious. Water in good supply. Needed in the warm temperatures. Would be my first choice to go with again if I'm lucky enough to be back.

A full day guide trip with Buenos Aires Fly Fishing was one of the highlights of our time in Argentina and well worth it. We had the best time getting to know our fantastic guide, Mariano, and fishing for the world-famous golden dorado. We were not disappointed with the experience and the fishing was pretty dang good. Our guide shared his secret spots and, man, they were epic. If you like to fly fish and have a day to spare in Buenos Aires, I would definitely recommend BAFF!

Had a great time with BAFF! I came to BA for a wedding. Had a few free days so I decided to do a last minute FF trip. Didn’t even know I could fly fish so close to BA. I only knew about Patagonia and Northern Argentina for fly fishing. It was great when I learned about them during my first trip to BA. Got my first dorado and a few more! These guys worked hard to get me on some GD’s and I got to see some great nature of Argentina. I will fish with them whenever I’m in BA! Thank you for the awesome memories!
