GENERAL
INFORMATION:
Enjoy the incomparable experience of fly fishing
dorado, piranha and tararira (dogfish*), surrounded
by a unique landscape. Located very close to Buenos
Aires (a 90-minute drive), San Pedro consists of a delta
where hundreds of streams and channels get together,
giving home to these species, so desired by flyfishermen.
An easy way to enjoy wilderness, having the chance to
see a lot of birds, turtles, capibaras and sometimes
aligators.
The freshwater Dorado is considered to be the single
most challenging native freshwater game fish of South
America. It is a radiant, golden-hued, salmon-like fish
with an extremely powerful jaw and razor-sharp teeth.
Unlike the salmon, however, the Dorado does not succumb
after spawning and never swims to the ocean. The Dorado
is an exceptionally strong swimmer and normally ranges
(in this area) in size from 5 to 10 pounds, although
the world record is 70 pounds.
An ideal program for businessmen or visitors staying
at Buenos Aires and for all those seeking new adventures
and destinations.
(*)The
Tararira is one of the most aggressive game fish when
charging the fly; once it takes the hook, the waters
start bubbling!!!
