In Search of “El Dorado”
Join
Us, On a New Exploratory Trip!
For over two hundred
years after Columbus found the New World, brave, gold-crazed explorers
searched for “El Dorado”, the fabled city of gold hidden deep in South
America’s wild jungles. For a somewhat shorter time (3 years now),
another group, less brave, but just as crazed (although for fish) has been
searching for an “El Dorado” of a scalier kind.
This dorado is pure fishing
gold. Salminus maxillosus, the South American freshwater dorado.
An exceptionally strong swimmer and jumper, dorado typically range in size
from 5 to 10 pounds, although twenty pound trophies can be common at the
right time and place. While the current IGFA all-tackle record is
51 pounds, giants of up to 70 pounds have been caught in nets.
Their intense, almost radiant, golden color is marked with holographic
black horizontal stripes. This patterning, coupled with their powerful
jaws and razor sharp teeth have earned the dorado the sobriquet “River
Tiger” in South America. Once fooled with a bait, their arm-wrenching
strike is a testament to their aggressiveness and ferocity. As soon
as an angler sets the hook, these wild leapers explode out of the water
in a series of outrageous jumps, truly making them an angler’s “El Dorado”.
As desirable a fish
as they are, in recent years, dorado fishing in South America has become
a far less desirable proposition than our consistently dependable peacock
bass and payara trips. Over-fishing, economic unrest and poisoned
rivers have made formerly pristine fisheries unacceptable options for most
American sportfishermen. Many agents and operators, in a struggle
to find fish for a clientele that increasingly yearns to get its hooks
into the spectacular fighting dorado, are settling for extremely unattractive
areas featuring giant dams and highly populated and developed shorelines.
That’s simply not acceptable
for us and our clientele, so we've been searching until we could find a
safe, productive, attractive and exciting alternative to the choices that
were available. Finally, after three years of searching, we’ve found
an option we can love in Argentina's Corrientes region.
