Golden dorado fishing in the Paraná River Delta is the perfect way to round out your trip to Argentina. We offer an incredible mothership fishing program—unique in the country—located just a short distance from Buenos Aires.
The mothership offers an all-inclusive service featuring guided fishing, excellent breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, and a professional team that makes it all possible.
Fishing takes place from new boats specially designed for fly fishing; they feature two casting platforms that allow for easy casting and simultaneous fishing by two anglers, as well as an electric motor operated remotely by the guide.
In addition to dorado, there is the opportunity to fish for other exciting species—such as pacú, pira-pitá, tararira, surubí, chafalote, and other freshwater fish—offering a fantastic sporting experience.

The short answer is that golden dorado can be caught year-round. However, the most productive periods generally occur between September and March, when warmer water temperatures increase feeding activity and make fish more aggressive.
That said, every season offers unique opportunities. Some anglers prioritize numbers and action, while others seek trophy-sized fish. Understanding these seasonal differences can help you choose the ideal time based on your goals.
