TOPIC STARTER | The PESCANET (fishing network) site is also in English. | May 2, 2003 |
Here is the link that will give you abundant information on fishing in Argentina, including the level of the rivers, etc. As you know, at least for fishing dorados, the lower the river is, the best chances you have.

TOPIC STARTER | SEPTEMBER 13-14 POWWOW AT CONCORDIA | Jun 24, 2003 |
This is one of the best fishing areas in Argentina for the dorado, which of course does not guarantee that we will fish any.
In any case, please disregard my other posting, where I gave the wrong date (I said Octobre instead of September)

TOPIC STARTER | Think about these facts: | Jul 20, 2003 |
1) A 10-pound trout is a pretty large trout. The largest one I ever caught weighed 9.5 pounds.
2) A 10-pound dorado is undersize and must be released. The average size is 20 pounds (wow!!!) The dorado also belongs to the salmon family. is a game fish, and is fished in the Orinoco, Amazon and Paraná river basins (Venezuela, Brazil, Perú, Uruguay and Argentina)

2) A 10-pound dorado is undersize and must be released. The average size is 20 pounds (wow!!!) The dorado also belongs to the salmon family. is a game fish, and is fished in the Orinoco, Amazon and Paraná river basins (Venezuela, Brazil, Perú, Uruguay and Argentina)
3) The world record for dorado fishing with fly fishing gear was broken last year at Concordia, Entre Ríos on September 16, 2002. If you want to see it, go to www.pescanet.com
and then make a search for Concordia. You will find a number of articles. Check the second and third articles out. You will not find them in the English version, so you will have to do the search in the Spanish page (búsqueda) Although the notes will be in Spanish, you can still see the photos.
4) The next Powwow in Argentina is to be held at Concordia on September 13 (the same week of the year in which the world record was broken last year for dorado fishing in the fly-fishing modality. This beautiful fish weighed some 45 pounds.
5) The costs involved are: Hotel: 22 Us Dollars per night for a 4-star hotel (San Carlos Resort) or 8 US Dollars per night for a 2-star hotel (Embajador). Meals: an average of 5 US Dollars per meal. Fishing: nearly 100 US Dollars per day for a motorboat for 3 fishermen. In any case, fishing is optional.
If you are fond of fishing, you will not want to loose this chance. At the Powwow we might discuss how to catch big fish (Translation Agencies and Large Companies). I have had some experience along this line, and probably you have also.
Near Concordia is the "Los Palmares" National Park, which is a nice place to visit, it is a large forest of palm trees. Also in the same area there are some historical buildings and further North the Salto Grande Hydroelectric Project, the second largest one of Argentina, with a large artificial lake. Just crossing the bridge, you are already in Uruguay.
6) Now go to the Powwow page and note down your name. This is the link:

It will be a pleasure to meet you.

TOPIC STARTER | DORADO FISHING, AN UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE | Jan 8, 2004 |
DORADO FISHING IN ARGENTINA. Although as far as I remember I have mentioned this in my forum entitled "ARGENTINA, A PARADISE FOR BARGAIN-SEEKERS", this is a subject of special interest for fishermen.

Here you have some more photos:

Below is the photo of a 23 kilo (52 lbs.) dorado fished in the Paraná river at Ita-Ibaté.
http://www.puertoballester.com.ar/QUE_DORADO!!!!!!!.htm
Although hotels are very cheap in Argentina (you can find good hotels for ten dollars a night, and even less), dorado fishing is not. A one-day tour on a motorboat with fishing guide and bait can cost as much as one hundred dollars per day. However, this is still cheaper than the prices you would have to pay elsewhere, this price includes lodging, breakfast, all meals, fishing guide and the motor boat, but not fuel, which in Argentina costs about 2 Dollars a gallon.
If you do not want to rent a motorboat, you can cross to Isla del Cerrito and fish from the shore. I have caught dorados weighing 12 to 18 pounds from the shore and have seen a 38 pound dorado caught by another fisherman. The best point in Cerrito Island is the Punta Norte (North End), where the Paraguay river (1 mile wide) runs into the Paraná river (2 miles wide), causing a huge whirlpool that is hundreds of feet wide. That is the best place, because dorados are waiting for the smaller fish to run into their mouth, but take hundreds of extra yards of nylon, because you will loose many hooks on the tree roots that are in the bottom of the river. Dorados can easily cut your nylon, so you should use steel leaders to avoid this. Depending on whether the water is clear or not, you can do fly fishing, use artificial lures or live bait. Pieces of dead fish (specially morena or boga) are also used successfully.
