Freshwater Dorado

"Argentina's Famous Golden Sport Fish"

Up to the North, Itatí, Ita Ibaté and Ituzaingó are also excellent fishing spots, where apart from the traditional surubíes, you can catch the spotted and striped species. The pacú is another large species very much searched by sport anglers in the Argentinian North. Its flesh is magnificent. Its diet consists of fruit and seeds falling from the trees. It is fished in channels and brooks with slow or no current at all, which are the natural habitat of the species.

The surubí is another great trophy treasured by the Paraná. In the open river, it can be found on the coast area and deepest banks. But its territory are the channels and brooks crowded with old trees and raigones, which are predominant in the Goya fishing sites, where every year there is an appointment for Fiesta Nacional del Surubí (Surubí National Day).

Located in the untamed Argentine province of Corrientes, Los Gringos Lodge is where friends and sportsmen meet to share spectacular scenery and enjoy an exotic world of nature, practically untouched since it was created… and at the end of each day, the warmth of true Argentine Old-world hospitality greets guests returning to the comfort of superior amenities.

In addition to offering a unique and unparalleled experience for families and friends, Los Gringos Lodge also offers the possibility to participate in exciting events throughout the year. Because life is a constant process of learning, Los Gringos Lodge has designed events for the individual and for corporate groups that combine excitement with learning. These events leave our customers with a feeling of growth and having done something that will make a difference in their daily lives and future sporting adventures.

Dorado means "golden". In Argentina it is also known as "the tiger of the river" and is the great native gamefish of South America. Beauty and ferocity, the perfect challenge and an extreme test for any fly fisherman. The Dorado's body is a combination of yellow, gold, orange and black which produces spectacular flashes when it jumps under the gleaming sun. Its average weight is between 6 lbs. and 12 lbs., although 20 lb Dorado are not uncommon, and we have seen some trophies of 30-40 lbs.

At Los Gringos Lodge, our first priority is to create an environment where people of all ages can reconnect with nature and each other; take a break from their hectic lives, share laughs and create unforgettable memories of incredible sport fishing and hunting.
