» General Information:
Enjoy the incomparable experience of fly fishing dorado and tararira, also called dogfish(*), surrounded by a unique landscape. Located very close to Buenos Aires ( a 1-hour-and-a-half drive) , San Pedro consists of a delta where hundreds of streams and channels get together, giving home to these species, so desired by flyfishermen.
An ideal program for businessmen staying at Buenos Aires (international receptive tourism) and for all those seeking new adventures and destinations.
(*)The Tararira (dogfish) is one of the most aggressive game fish when charging the fly ; once it takes the hook, the waters start bubbling!!!

» The day outing to San Pedro for golden dorado was an adventure by: Paul Harwood - March 4th, 2008
The day outing to San Pedro for golden dorado was an adventure. Although water conditions made fishing difficult, we pressed on until fish were found. There were many misses but we did land some including one beauty caught from shore. Daniel's careful attention to detail, and his extensive knowledge of this fishery made the difference. Dorado require a specialized approach for consistent success, and if you are prepared to listen and have an open mind he will ensure that you learn the fine points. In his role as guide he takes his responsibility very seriously and will do his best to adapt to Mother Nature's whims and create a satisfactory experience.
