Mavungana, through its African agency for the Nervous Waters
portfolio of destinations, are proud to offer some of the
most consistent Golden Dorado fishing around.
For many years , one of Latin America´s most exciting game
fish was kept a secret in its heartland. In the last few years,
the golden DORADO, or "river tiger" as it is affectionately
called in Argentina due to its impressive fighting spirit
and jumping characteristics, has rocketed to the top of the
hot fish list. The freshwater Dorado belongs to the Salmon
family. It is a hard fighting and acrobatic fish, well known
for strong runs and relentless jumps. Throughout much of its
range , the Dorado is caught in colored or murky waters and
generally with heavy spinning tackle.
The establishment of Pirá lodge in the Iberá marshland has
generated a new alternative, allowing for clear water fishing
on fly rods, with plenty of opportunities for sight casting.
7 and 8 wt 9 foot rods are recommended, as well as floating
and sinking heads. Traditional saltwater streamers and deceivers
in black, purple chartreuse and white complete the required
gear. Fishing schedule: Fishing times vary depending on month
and weather. A typical spring fishing day will start in the
morning from 8:00 to 12:30, lunch at the lodge, and then afternoon
fishing from 3:30 to 7:30. Transport is provided from the
lodge´s private dock to the fisheries in Hells Bay flat skiffs,
fitted with VHF radios. Other activities available are bird
watching, horseback riding and snorkeling. Pirá is a strictly
catch and release fishery.
