The Waters
Rio Tucanes
The fabled Rio Tucanes is born in Parque Nacional el Rey. It is a true spring creek since its born from cold and warm water springs in the Sierra Cresta del Gallo and Sierra del Piquete. When you arrive to Rio Tucanes you'll be amazed at its beauty and your first impression is that this is the perfect trout stream, but actually holds Dorado up to 20 lbs.
Rio Juramento
The Juramento River, a tailwater born below El Tunal Dam in NW Argentina has proved to be the best and most reliable Dorado river in the world.
After long talks with local authorities and guides, we finally got a 10 yr. permit to float the river from just below the dam to some 50 miles downstream, giving us the opportunity to fly fish the most productive water of this river.
The Juramento is a small river (50' to 100' wide) compared to most Dorado Rivers in Argentina. Since we float most of the time, no long cast are required (15' to 30' are the norm). Water is clear to tea colored depending on the season.
A typical day will produce some 20 strikes with half of these actually hooked and some landed. Fish over 15 lbs will push you and your tackle to the limits and depending on the anglers fighting skills, it can be a fish caught or a fish lost.
Rio Dorado
The Rio Dorado is the twin brother of Rio Tucanes and is also an absolute joy to fish. Only accessible by intrepid anglers willing to hike for 3 hrs in extreme heat, is one of the jewels of the area.
