Just checking in from Salto Uruguay where a small group of us are fishing for Dorado below Salto Grande Dam. This amazing fishery is home to some of the world's largest freshwater Dorado. I am so impressed with the sheer power, tenacity, and stamina of these awesome gamefish.
The fish have been averaging 8 - 12 pounds in the exclusive zone below Salto Grande. Everyone has landed fish in the teens. I have been fortunate to land a few fish between 22 and 30 pounds. The top flies this week are Thalken's Cruisers, Puglisi streamers, and a few homemade creations. The common thread amongst the "hot" flies has been red and black... this has been the most productive color combo thus far.
We have 4 more sessions of fishing on our trip. I will post a full report on my blog upon the completion of the trip. I am so excited about this new destination for River Plate Outfitters... I have already scheduled a couple of weeks for December this year and March of 2012.
Here are a few photos from our trip... Fish On!
