| For many years, one of Latin America ’s most exciting game-fish was kept a secret in its heartland. In the last few years, The Golden Dorado has rocketed to the top of the hot fish list. Due to its impressive fighting spirit and jumping characteristics this freshwater fish, is affectionately known as the “River Tiger”. It is a radiant, yellow-colour, salmon-like fish with an extremely strong jaw and sharp teeth. Unlike its cousin the salmon, however, it does not die after spawning and never swims in the ocean. The Dorado is an exceptionally strong swimmer and normally ranges in size from 5 to 45 pounds, although the world record is 70 pounds. |

| This voracious fish could accurately be described as a cross between a bull terrier and a tarpon. It hammers top-water flies with reckless abandon and immediately explodes out of the water in a series of outrageous jumps and relentless, line stripping runs. Its physical beauty, its violent strike, its long, powerful runs and its acrobatic fights are some of the qualities that make the Dorado the exceptional sport fish that it is. The lodge is open year-round but the prime season is January-April. |
