The dorado is the most beautiful fish that dwells in the waters of the
Paraná River. Baptized as the "tiger of the rivers", its mood and hunting
voracity at the time of getting food are the perfect base for its
well-deserved nickname. There is not a more fighting species in sport
fishing. Owner of impressive teeth, once hooked, the dorado starts to make
big acrobatic jumps that increase the level of excitement in this kind of
fishing.
The fight against this large fish usually lasts long minutes of tension and
adrenaline. The fishing of the dorado is considered as one of the best
worldwide. Paso de la Patria, opposite the Cerrito Island, is visited every
year by anglers from all round the world, who go there to take part in the
Fiesta Internacional del Dorado (The Dorado International Day) in the waters
of the Paraná River.

Fishing is good along almost the whole river, but it is spectacular along
the whole Province of Corrientes. There, fishing spots such as Esquina,
Reconquista, Goya, Bella Vista, Empedrado, Corrientes City, Resistencia, the
famous Isla del Cerrito and Paso de la Patria, are obligatory destinations
for thousands of anglers who come every year to capture the largest species
in the river.

Located on the southwest corner of the Corrientes province, 650 kms north of
Buenos Aires, Esquina is a unknown destination for most anglers. Right where
the Corrientes and the Paraná rivers meet creating a delta where you have
lots of different options where you can fish for the Golden Dorado.
