GENERAL
INFORMATION:
Dorado fly fishing in Salta: a real adventure trip,
only for those fisherman who love wilderness and are
avid to seek for new fly fishing experiencies. Here,
it is not weird to come across toucans flying up, thousands
of butterflies of different sizes and exotic colors,
footprints of tapirs and pumas, corzulas, mount pigs,
and even anteaters!
In this new program, you will have the chance to
make a two days floating trip and a full day wading.
Juramento river, Del Valle river and Dorado river flows
through the yungas (warm rainforests), forming big pools
and riffles where the fighting Dorado, the tiger
of the rivers, is found. The most interesting thing
about Dorado fishing here is that fishing is done by
wading crystal clear waters, almost imposible
in other destinations. Moreover, the Dorados are hardfighting,
wild jumping and brilliantly colored. The average of
the Dorados -in Del Valle and Dorado rivers- is around
5 pounds, fished with lightweight tackle, # 5 rods.
Fishing Juramento river, is where we are going to
find the biggest ones: between 10 to 20 pounds.
Floating it, will let us reach the hot spots and give
the chance to fish this giant Dorados. In this case,
you will need a # 8 rod. Try us, you'll never forget
this experience. Come to fly fish for Dorado.
