Golden Dorado Fishing Trips

GOLDEN DORADO FISHING TRIPS

Golden Dorado are a predatory freshwater fish native to South America. They undertake migrations during the rainy season to spawn. Golden Dorado are extraordinary hunters and one of the best fighting freshwater fish on the planet. They’re aggressive with a ferocious strike, long, hard runs, impressive jumps, and fighting stamina. The locals call them River Tigers or "Your Majesty." They like moving water and most often stalk close to river structure. Back in 2012, our client Mike Sadar set a world record at La Zona Lodge for a fly-caught 50-pound golden dorado.
