We proudly present "Gold Fever", a new Dorado Fishing program at the Uruguay River tail waters, an experience you won’t want to miss. For at this resort over 22 bait casting and fly fishing world records have been broken in the last 4 seasons! Plus customers have landed over 200 fish over 40 lbs.

Recently, a very exclusive fishery special permit was obtained for exclusive lease for two boats to fish for Giant Dorado at, the Salto Grande Hydroelectric Dam tail waters, home to some of the largest Dorado’s found anywhere in the world, were quality, quantity and possibility come together to make this operation a unique fishing experience. The fish reach these incredible sizes and numbers due to the impressive amount of food available. This happens because the dam’s lake increases the biological mass in the system. All the zooplankton is concentrated in a constant flow which generates a very complex rich chain of many species ending with the predatory Dorado that’s why it achieves unprecedented growing rates.

Golden Dorado are a very aggressive fish that has an impressive leaping ability, outrageous strength, and stamina which make them one of the most up an coming sport fish for both fly fishing and spinning anglers. All fishing is done exclusively from our wide 20-foot shallow drafting fiberglass bass boats with two large casting platforms. Fishing is based on either 2 or 3 anglers per boat, depending on our party size.

Furthermore, and to make this experience even more complete, we are using the Horacio Quiroga Thermal Spa Resort which offers you top quality rooms and services with an extensive range of facilities only 200 yards from the tail water fishery. This large 5-star resort with its large bedrooms, thermal whirlpools, resort is a lovely place for non-angling family and friends to enjoy themselves with lots of activities to do and places to relax.
