Freshwater Dorado

"Argentina's Famous Tiger of the River"

Located on the southwest corner of the Corrientes province, 650 kms north of Buenos Aires, Esquina is a unknown destination for most anglers. Right where the Corrientes and the Paraná rivers meet creating a delta where you have lots of different options where you can fish for the Golden Dorado´s.

THE DORADO is a salmon species that finds its habitat in the Paraná system. Known as the Tiger of the Rivers this extremely voracious fish prefers to wonder close to confluences, near the shores and in spots with current where he can find more oxygen and its prey, although he has a good capacity to adapt to spots with no current. This golden salmon is strong and it can get up to more than 30 pounds, the average size being between 4 to 18 pounds, and once hooked this fish gets very acrobatic giving a superb fight.

As these fish are STRONG FIGHTERS a No. 7 to 9 weight rod is required. Saltwater Reels are recommended, but if not any reel with a good drag system.

Due to the sharp teeth and the way these Dorado attack the flies, its a must to add a section of 20 lb steel Leader to the end of your line. Our experience has told us that the best lines are WF floating lines for tropical weather, intermediate, and fast sinking lines like the Teeny´s 200 and 300 grains. Flies that get most of their attention are deceivers in dark colors combined with chartreuse, red, orange and yellow.

The lodge is perfectly located on the edge of the Corrientes River, close to were it meets with the Paraná River. The pure scenery and vegetation of this area is reason enough to visit this place, but the lodge itself makes the perfect contrast with the surrounding environment.
