Golden | Dorado: Treasure of the Paraná - Fly Fishing in South America

Рет қаралды 95,750

Жыл бұрын

We had the opportunity to go fly fish for one of the most incredible species of fish on the planet. The vibrance of the Dorado is the reason we ventured to the Paraná River in Argentina to experience the golden treasure for ourselves. The Paraná River’s average discharge is roughly 700,000 cfs. A River this big is bound to be the home of monster Golden Dorado. Having heard about these fish 25 years ago, we did not hold back when casting large streamers day in and day out. And in the end it did not disappoint.

That was simply a glorious video - and it expressed all of the best of what fishing should be - including the frustration, the comradery, and not least the benevolence that should exist between fishermen worldwide. This reminds me of the work of Leigh Perkins as he was building up Orvis, and the video of Yvon Chouinard in Valsesiana. What makes a good narrative isn't just the images or the instruction, but the emotional response from the creator - that came through strong, and it was a privilege to watch. Well done all.

Some days I could really go for some coca leaves. National Geographic did a good special on How Coca Leaves Become Cocaine, tis a good watch! Every culture has a leaf, or berry, or bean...some stimulant of some kind. Every single one.

Epic is a word that gets tossed around far too casually today but that was truly epic. Congrats. I have long wanted to try my hand at them after seeing Larry Dahlberg’s TV show decades ago. I remember he was tossing a giant lure that was basically a string of wooden beads, each one about the size of a small walnut. I think the show was “The Hunt for Big Fish”. Sadly, that trip just wasn’t meant to be for me. Again, congrats on realizing the dream.

We'll start at La Alondra Lodge and fish Ibera Marsh for four days and then head over to Itati Lodge to fish the Upper Parana for another 4 days. My friend has done this before and fished with the guide in your video. Should be fun...

@@JustinWatterson-mb1rf Yeah, I actually heard quite a bit about you from the mission back in the day. I can't remember which companion or mission friend knew you but I was told more than once that I would love Elder Watterson cause he loved to fish too. You and your brother owned one of the local guide services or so I was told. I also served in Reconquista---that was my second area. Baigorria was my third.

that was not very good fishing for that place. Usually you can catch dozens of them (the small ones), with a shot at a big one like that. The river looked too high, i dont know what month they went there, but you can get better fishing out of that river at that place. I know they were trophy hunting with the big flys, and is part of why they didnt catch as many fish, but that river can fish much better.
