Golden Dorado fishing in Argentina summary
It is only recently that the golden dorado has attracted the interest it deserves as a premier quarry for the fly fisher in Argentina, where the locals have long referred to the fish as river tigers. Golden dorado make their home in warm fresh waters and are celebrated for their hard fighting qualities and ability to throw leap after prodigious leap in their efforts to shake the fly free. The sight of a gold bar shimmering momentarily against a clear blue sky before crashing back into the depths and powering off on yet another breath-taking run is par for the course when targeting these most exciting of fish. Aside from their stunning bright yellow colouring, golden dorado closely resemble African tiger fish, displaying the same savage take and the same fondness for leaping feet clear of the water.
