The dorado (Salminus maxilosus) is the most important predator fish of the Paraná river system. It’s a salmon-like fish, with a golden, yellowish color, highly muscular and with a big head, which has powerful jaws and sharp teeth. It is an extremely voracious and aggressive creature that feeds on small and large fish. Its strength, acrobatic jumps and size from 4 to 16 pounds make it one of the most challenging freshwater fish of the world.

Occasionally, other species of fish may strike your fly, including the ferocious South American piranha.

You can experience it all at EL DORADO LODGE in the Corrientes Province in Argentina.
