Year Round: Estancia Cortaderas
The dorado have strong sharp teeth and a fantastic jaw line that they use as a hunting weapon. This great fish bears the name of dorado because of the gold color of its scales. It is known as well as the Parana river tiger, due the extraordinary strength of its fight. These fish are aggressive predators and jump high and fight hard. They are outstanding on spinning tackle and they are spectacular on fly tackle. Dorado are apex predators with a wide appetite, and with the right guide these are fish worthy of the pursuit. To hook a Dorado is an experience in and of itself which can hardly be adequately described by words.

Among the best kept secrets for serious freshwater anglers is certainly the golden Dorado or Salminus Maxillosus of Argentina.
