Rio Parana Lodge | Golden Dorado Fly Fishing | Argentina

Overview

Tour code: ARG011
Enquire Now

The main advantages of Pinti’s Lodge are that it sits right on the bank of the famous Rio Parana River and close to some of the best sections of the river for dedicated fly anglers. Target fishing to overhanging structure and along cut banks plus sight cast fishing opportunities to cruising fish ensures you are always where the Golden Dorado is waiting to ambush any juicy looking prey. Combine this perfect location with the famous lodge owner Ricardo “Pinti” who himself is a passionate and well-recognised expert when it comes to Dorado fly fishing throughout the world and you will have the perfect destination to produce many hookups each and every day.

Location

Pinti’s Lodge is located in northern Argentina amongst dense, jungle banks of the Upper Parana River. This region is a large tailwater system about 150 kilometers below the Yaciretá Dam. Because it is a tailwater, the water generally runs clear with over 6 feet of visibility and holds healthy numbers of Golden Dorado, Pacu, and Pira Pita. This area is stunning and nothing like the lower Parana River in Buenos Aires, in fact, you would be hard pushed to believe it is the same river. The river is bounded by dense jungle, palm trees, lots of islands some covered in vegetation others are just stunning white sand flats.

Fishing

The upper Parana River ranks as one of the most consistent of all fishing destinations, boasting prolific fish numbers, providing lots of opportunities for large Golden Dorado and other exotic species on the fly.  A typical day fishing is broken into two main fishing sessions, you will start around 7:30 am and fish through to around 12 noon.

You will return to the lodge for lunch to be enjoyed in the cool and air-conditioned dining room. After lunch its time to grab some well-earned rest as it is siesta time. Around 3:30ish you will return to the river with your guide and normally fish until you arrive back at the lodge anytime between 9 to 10 pm. Like many hot places fishing for Golden Dorado, it is most productive early and late in the day, however, on any overcast days, the fishing can remain excellent throughout the whole day.

Fishing Methods

The most exciting way to ever fly fish for Golden Dorado is sight fishing, watching these fish charge your fly is just heart-stopping. The other is when the Dorado gang up like an angry group of teenagers and go on a feeding frenzy, they thrash the water to foam chasing their pray right on to the banks often beaching themselves as they try to grab as many Sabalo as possible.

Casting your fly into this commotion you wonder how it is possible not to get a hookup. The other method is searching the drop-offs and fishing to structure with streamers can be an excellent way to find big fish, and this river definitely holds some monsters 20lb is a good fish but this river does produce fish over 30lb. The area you have to fish at this lodge is so vast it is rare to fish the same place twice in the same week.

Golden Dorado is not the only species happy to take a fly, on sunny days why not try looking and sight fish for Pira-Pita and Pacu that you can find under overhanging trees and bushes seeking shade and food. Check out our Youtube Channel for more in-depth fishing tips and methods.

Boats and Equipment

Boats are 20 ft. panga-style boats that are set up perfectly for fly anglers. You will fish 2 anglers with one guide and they run the boat so 2 anglers can fish at the same time while drifting the banks and sand bars. As well as petrol engines to run up and down the river, the boats are also equipped with trolling motors to control the drift while keeping anglers in position.

Guiding

Pinti is recognised by locals as a pioneer for fly fishing the Upper Parana River, which has allowed him to select an elite team of guides. All the guides love nothing more than teaching you about their river and also making sure you catch as many fish as possible.

Questions & Answers

Enquire Now

WHERE IS THE LODGE?

Pinti’s lodge, just outside of the tiny fishing village if Itá Ibaté in Corrientes province Argentina, was designed from its beginnings with the fly fishing in mind.  Situated in the beautiful northern Argentine jungle overlooking the Rio Paraná with amazing views

WHERE WILL I FISH?

You will be fishing along the Rio Parana River, the benefit of this upper section of the river is it normally runs clear allowing you to sight fish for Dorado’s

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REACH THE FISHING GROUNDS?

Travel time can be very short as you can start fishing right outside the lodge, however, guides have lots of spot and places to try throughout the day so you will travel some good distances.

WHAT FISH WILL I CATCH?

Your main quarry will be explosive Dorado that grow to some amazing sizes, but don’t let that distract you from the other exotic species available to fly anglers. Pacu which is considered the Permit of Argentina, as its own cult attraction among experienced anglers because of its size and power. Pacu to 25lb range are caught, but most will be 8 to 12 pounds. The Pira Pita is a smaller fish up to about 10lb and acts basically like a trout as it takes small insect-like flies.

HOW MANY FISH WILL I CATCH?

Catch rates can and do vary depending on the water conditions and the weather. This will also depend on the experience of the angler. However, anglers can normally expect to catch Dorado each day.

HOW WILL I FISH?

The most exciting way to ever fly fishing for Golden Dorado is sight fishing, watching these fish charge your fly is just heart-stopping. The other is when the Dorado gang up like an angry group of teenagers and go on a feeding frenzy, they trash the water to foam chase their pray right on to the banks often beaching themselves as they try to grab as many Sabalo as possible. Casting your fly into this commotion you wonder how it is possible not to get a hookup. The other method is searching the drop-offs and fishing to structure with streamers can be an excellent way to find big fish, and this river definitely holds some monsters 20LB is a good fish but this river does produce fish over 30lb. The area you have to fish at this lodge is so vast it is rare to fish the same place twice in the same week.

DO THE GUIDES SPEAK ENGLISH?

Yes all the guides speak English to different levels

WHO IS BEST SUITED TO THIS DESTINATION?

This lodge is suitable for all level of anglers as you will be fishing from the boat there is little walking, however, you will be casting large flies on single-handed rods in some extreme heats so be prepared.

WHAT SKILL LEVEL IS REQUIRED?

A basic level of casting is required, you do not need to be able to cast long distances. It is far better being able to cast a short line but be accurate as you need to cast tight to structure.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GO?

The best months for dorado fishing on the Parana is January through May and September and October. By the time fall arrives in late May and early June, the water cools down and the fish are less active. During the peak season, it is often possible to sight fish for dorado (with floating lines and top-water flies) either by following wakes, spotting laid-up fish or seeing fish that are moving on lighter bottoms.

HOW WILL I GET THERE?

Fly to Argentina and then an internal flight to one of three interior cities, Corrientes, Resistencia or Posadas. On arrival, the lodge will transfer you to the lodge

Transfers Cordoba to Resistencia caused extra waiting time Resistencia to Buenos Aires meant long transfer from local to international airport.

Buenos Aires to Corrientes was better. There were not so many Dorado as previous visit, although I lost several larger ones. Many takes did not stay hooked.

Hi John
Its great to hear you had a good holiday. Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback

John

We were lucky to have a gathering of delightful rods , most of whom had fished together in a past.

The "craic" was non stop as was the Malbec.

If you are fishing for Golden Dorado, take stripping glove.

Paul

Thanks for the feedback and I hope you are enjoying your break now down under.

Yes it was a great group and such a craic and we are all looking forward to it again next year.

Thanks again for you continued support and custom, it is much appreciated.

Tim

Dorado fishing with Pinti - great food, accommodation! Great tackle hire! Good English!

Sea Trout tackle hire! Guides were all outstanding!

Quite an expensive trip but love it!! and we will be back

Reply from Sportquest Holidays

Tim

What another great trip everyone had and it was also mazing to have both you and your dad with us again.

So glad you will be returning for yet another year as the group each year is just getting better and better.

I have pre warned the lodge that we will need an extra Malbec delivery half way through the week......

A real pleasure my friend and see you again soon.

Ian

We had a fantastic time and the lodge took very good care of us bth. The fishing was good and we would love to return one day at a different time of year as the weather was very very hot.

Pinti and the lodge and staff were one of the best i have been with.

All in all another great holiday and organisation, just a couple of comments about the trip below:

Ride back to international airport in Corsa. Taxi with luggage on my lap. Not what I have paid for or expected from a private transfer.

Had to pay on internal flight, only allowed 15 kg, this could have been pointed out.

Better info on tackle needed.

As flight from Corrientes arrived at 9 PM, it would have been better to have a hotel closer to the airport and to have a breakfast included.

Reply from Sportquest Holidays

Ian

Thanks so much for the feedback scores and the comments. Glad you both enjoyed the trip and it was great listening to you on the telephone. It will also be a pleasure in arran king for you both to return back there soon.

In relation to the few points. Sorry about the private transfer on the return I am not sure what happened there and agree the alternative arrangements that the transfer company made was not acceptable.

It did mention on the paperwork that the baggage allowance is only 15 kilos for the small internal flight. This is all they allow and we can not prebook or pay for any additional before you arrive. However the price is very cheap for either extra weight or extra bags.

We are constantly working on the tackle info with Pinti, different guides have different ideas and there is also all the different styles / methods you can fish with. But agree we can and will try to constantly update the information.

No worries about arranging a different hotel at the end of the trip, it is whatever you prefer, we have loads of hotels in BA as its such a huge capital, however it is really down to what you prefer.

I will look forward in seeing some pictures of you and bobs.

Regards Peter

Robert

The lodge was comfortable, the food was good & the guides were excellent. However, the advice on tackle requirements & tipping was inaccurate and there were some glitches with flights and transfers.

The internal flights only had a baggage allowance of 15 kg so we had to pay excess baggage.

The Buenos Aires hotel was Room only which was a bit annoying. Could it not have been booked as B & B?

There is no mandatory tipping in Argentina but the documentation suggested there was.

Tackle advice was inadequate which meant we did not take suitable flies.

Reply from Sportquest Holidays

Bob

Thanks for the time on the phone I am glad that you and Ian enjoyed your time and thanks for the feedback scores both for the operation and for our services.

As you know we are ALWAYS trying to improve everything so feedback like this is so so important.

Just on a couple of points, we will constantly try to improve the tackle advice for both fly fishing and spinning, however this does vary and people seem to have lots of different ideas.

In relation to flies I think one of the safest suggestions is that customer purchase the flies from the lodge as they will then be perfect.

In relation to baggage allowance there is nothing we can do on this, it did say in the paperwork what the allowance is, but maybe we need to make it stand out more. Also tipping is a a very emotional subject for people from the UK, it causes more stress than any other point, as we are not accustomed to it. We try to provide information based per and simple as a guide as ALL tipping is never mandatory and is entirely up to each individual customer.

As mentioned above thanks for your feedback and views which we will take on board and amend where we can.

Also thank you for both yours and Ian's continued custom as always it is valued and very well appreciated.

Regards Peter

After spending 6 days fishing for sea trout on the Rio Gallegos, it was a delight to be fishing in shorts and a t-shirt in temperatures around 30'C.

We were unfortunate to find the river was recovering from a massive flood and was very coloured - visibility in the water around 6" !

We fished from a boat - drifting down the margins of the mile wide river Parana, fishing among the dead trees and into the pockets created by the foliage on the margins. The fishing is attritional, as we were casting and retrieving constantly. To compensate for the hard work, it is a very exciting way to fish and we anticipated a strike or follow at every cast ! My son and I ended up catching 17 fish in our 3 days.

We caught Golden Dorado, Pira Pita and Pirahna. We had many follows and swirls and lost a number of fish, because we found it difficult to get used to 'strip striking' rather than lifting the rod tip. One can only imagine how exciting this fishing could be given clear water.

Locating the correct streamer flies was difficult - we eventually purchased flies form The Fly Shop in USA at $17 each only to find that the lodge sold them for $6 each! 9 ft 8 weight rods are the preferred choice - our 10 ft rods were too heavy for the constant casting - although not impossible. 40lbs - 30 lbs and 40lbs American wire made up our leaders.

Our guide Robin was outstanding. He worked his socks off to make sure we retrieved our flies from the trees and to put the boat in the correct position as we drifted along the bank. He was also very good company.

The El Dorado Lodge was very comfortable, the food was always tasty and we enjoyed the company of our host Pinti, who joined us for meals.

Thank you as always for the customer feedback and for a copy of your pictures. It was a real shame that the water conditions were not perfect for you and Tim, but as we all know these things happen.

As per our conversation please accept our apologies in relation to the flies, we had not be made aware that the lodge was now selling flies. We have now updated our pre trip info to show this for all future customers.

Look forward in seeing you both again soon.

Tim

What a good start to it all, sitting out side of the fishing lodge in 35 degree having a cold beer in the evening watching monkeys 18 meters away !! looking over the river I' am going to fish in the morning which is over a mile wide, only using a fly rod.

The river was in spate and coloured 10"visibality it was going to be tough, that's fishing. You can buy the flights location etc but you car 'nt do anything about the conditions !

The guides spoke excellent English or is that American (SIR)

Even though tough conditions I managed many takes on the golden dorado, landed over 20 fish including piranha and pira pita, even manage to catch on dry fly !

The lodge, staff and food was amazing so must go back when the river is clear ( it should have been perfect conditions....) Next Time

Reply from Sportquest Holidays

Hi Tim

Thanks for talking to me on the telephone, glad the follow on trip after the sea trout was all ok, sorry about the water conditions with the river in flood. At least it has started to clear by the time you got there. The customers 1.5 weeks before you only had 1 inch visibility which made things even harder.

It was a pleasure to meet you over in Argentina enjoyed both your dads and your company and hope to get a chance to fish with you.

Regards Peter

Mike

In brief, - All was pretty good the lodge, guides and food was just perfect. Unfortunately the fishing was a disappointment due to the river being in flood with visibility down to only a few inches.

We persevered (as there was nothing else to do) in 35-40 degrees C and high humidity, - long casting and fast stripping for about 7 hours a day, and I worked it out that I had one "pull" about every 2000 casts! Which is hard work.

It was such a shame as the pictures on the wall of the lodge and talking to people you can expect to catch 30 plus fish a day in normal conditions. Having looked forward to it so much I have to be disappointed, - who would not be? However I have fished all over the world and know that no one can control the weather.

Reply from Sportquest Holidays

Mike thank you as always for your feedback and taking the time to talk to me on the phone. So sorry to hear about the river conditions and the major effect it had on the fishing. The weather in Argentina is all over the place. As you know I was hosting a Sea Trout group the same time you were Golden Dorado fishing and we had the opposite to you (You had all our water) the river we fished had the lowest water level for 16 years which is typical.

I am glad everything else was all-ok and yes our lady in BA who does all the transfers is a lovely lady. Again sorry for the bad fishing conditions, I hate this when it happens as you plan, book in advance and we then do everything in our power to make the trips run as smooth as possible so its frustrating when we can not control other elements like the weather.

Kind Regards Peter
