Few fish draw as much attention as golden dorado. These exotic fish, found in South America, have become a sought-after target for anglers in recent years. Their aggressive nature, raw power, and impressive acrobatics check all the boxes for a bucket list fish on the fly. One group, SET Fly Fishing, understands this better than anyone. Located in the Corrientes Province in Northeastern Argentina, they have built the ultimate golden dorado fishing experience.
Since its inception over 20 years ago, the team at SET has grown its program throughout Argentina. While their trout offerings extend to every corner of Patagonia, we were focused on one thing—the golden dorado. The Corrientes Province is a mix of jungle marshes and winding rivers, making it an ideal habitat for golden dorado. Every trip with SET gives you the complete experience of dorado fishing in three unique systems. These are Itati, Alondra’i, and Jetu’u. The combination of these three fisheries provides anglers with the opportunity to explore various fishing styles and target different species of fish.
After fishing with SET Fly Fishing last year, we had the opportunity to explore all three of these unique fisheries. Over the next three days, follow along as we dive into each fishery, what makes them so special, and what to expect for your own trip in search of the legendary golden dorado.
