The Species, "Golden Dorado"

The Golden Dorado is a native species of the Plata Basin and one of the most coveted gamefish in the world. Records show specimens exceeding 20 pounds in the Río de la Plata, though the average catch ranges between 4 and 6 pounds — with catches regularly exceeding 10 pounds.

They are targeted with streamers, rats and dry flies, using #6 equipment with float lines, 9-foot leaders and steel tippets to withstand their razor-sharp teeth.

A true apex predator, the Golden Dorado uses river structures — rocks, vegetation and current variations — to ambush prey in as little as 30 cm of water. Its explosive strike, acrobatic jumps and powerful runs make it unlike any other fly fishing experience on the planet.
