FISHING IN ARGENTINA
Dorado fishing in Santa Fé

The Paraná River crosses the Provinces of Misiones, Chaco, Corrientes, Santa Fe, and Entre Ríos until it finally flows into the Río de la Plata (River Plate). Dorado fish, also known as “the tiger of the rivers”, is the most beautiful fish that lives in the waters of the Paraná River.

Its courage and voracity when it has to get food have earned it its nickname. With amazing teeth, the Dorado, once it swallows the bait, starts making acrobatic jumps.

This increases the excitement during the fishing trip. There is not such a fighting species in sports fishing other than Dorado. The fight with this great fish can take several minutes, generating tension and adrenaline.

Dorado fishing is considered to be one of the best kinds of fishing around the world. Anglers can go fly casting, spinning, trolling, or bait fishing for Dorado, which can be caught in the channel of the islands of the Paraná River, in the city of San Javier, Province of Santa Fe.
