IBERA: The Marsh of Gold - Fly Fishing for Golden Dorado in Argentina

We spent three days fly fishing the Wetlands of Ibera Provincial Reserve in Argentina, experiencing the ferociousness of the Golden Dorado first hand. It's incredible when a "monster of a fish" such as the Golden Dorado is found in one of the most remote and secluded places in the world. Iberá The Marsh of Gold is filled with magnificent Dorado as well as, some of the most stunning scenery you could possibly imagine. We are excited to share with you the electric experience of Fly Fishing for Golden Dorado in The Ibera Marsh of Argentina in South America!

[@matthewwhite876]

So much to fish here in aus, 10lb trout to 100lb gts

[@stephanzigler9439]

You guys are awesome, what an outstanding opportunity and video! That huge Dorado being pulled in by the fly line put me on the edge of my seat! Amazing catch!

[@marto_sauce9564]

[@blessedshreds5502]

Exciting video. I love your storytelling. Great job! I'm originally from Argentina so I specially appreciate the spotlight on Argentina's fisheries, people/guides, culture. BTW more rep your waters Argentina hats in your store please (I think I bought the last one and my kids steal it from me)

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobhammond8067]

That was indeed INSANE!!! WELL DONE!!!

[@carvedbydwill3212]

Solid Work! Long road from rolling a rod in my shop. Curtis championship landing. Remind me to share my story on the Gold Coast Oregon when a Sea Lion took my 30 lb king a mile up the river. You guys nailed it. GREAT vid. GREAT work. Thanks for sharing.

Hermosa Pesca, Felicitaciones!!

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

Bucket list fish right there.

[@schmoonkie]

My friend and I are at Itati Lodge as I’m writing this. We’ve had one and a half days of fishing. No luck so far. My friend had one on for a short time. Hoping for a better day today.

[@schmoonkie]

Three missed Dorados this morning. Turned out that I was watching my fly line to detect a strike and NOT my fly. My nymphing-without-an-indicator ways caused some missed fish for me…

[@FlyFishFood]

Ha ha. Yup. Hard to rid yourself of trout brain!

[@ferenchorvath8297]

@@FlyFishFood yesterday was our final day fishing the Parana by Isoro. We tried the marsh at Isoro, but it wasn’t productive. Ibera Marsh was off limits due to lack of water. I had a really hard time with trip-setting as I have 35 years of nymphing experience and raising the rod tip was too ingrained. Lost a lot of chances. Finally it all came together and I landed a 20 pound beauty. All our Set Fly Fishing guides ( Lukas, Juan, and Tete ) were awesome. They really wanted us to have the best fishing experience and pushed us to make it happen. My buddy managed to catch a large vampire fish. The worse thing was the unbearable heat, which was around 100 degrees during our afternoon fishing. I drank huge quantities of water with electrolytes added and never had to relieve myself until I got back to camp. This was my first such trip and it was an experience for a lifetime

[@Nrussell11]

You should try this with the new Orvis Superfine Glass 8wt. I picked one up for pike fishing, and getting a big predator on fiberglass is really something!

[@spintoday]

Which rod broke and which section broke? I ask because I had 8, 9, and 10 weights break this summer / fall on taimen and jack crevalle (two Sage R8s and a Scott Meridian. The meridian was my fault). Insane fights, but still, rods should not explode like that IMHO. Rods are getting awfully delicate. Good job getting La Vaca grande into the net, such as it was. It's a team sport :)

[@AllenWallJr.-ig5fx]

I think the closest fish to the Golden Dorado might be ,as far as the same size would be a Redfish, which are tanks as well.

[@akintomeatloaf]

Great stuff, guys!

[@MarcinKantor]

Amazing adventure. How can I get in touch with the guide there to organise same?

[@bluejacket645]

Maybe someone should think about having those spiders make tippet material!

[@decolonizedmeateater]

Came for the Dorado. Stayed for the A’s hat.

[@dols94]

Hopefully we don’t lose a gringo 😂😂😂

[@edlabaro6864]

When some fly tying tutorials on Dorado flies?

[@GeorgeSemel]

Oh, I expect they will have some posted within a few days of this. After All its Fly Fish Food. Its what they do!

[@jakeroth3879]

Gonna be hard to go back to trout after that.

[@FlyFishFood]

Flying back from a Patagonia trout trip right now… Surprisingly it wasn’t too hard at all!

[@jakeroth3879]

@@FlyFishFood awesome!! I usually have to ease my self back in to trout after a big trip by going on another trip when I get home. I’ll be in SLC next week, what color monsters should I bring in?

[@matthewwhite876]

I heard the trout strike line, I hope ppl realise you shouldn't strike trout with a "trout strike" either, always downstream, never a high rod and always control the line. Do this and nothing misses except big barbed hooks on bone

[@LexieEclectic]

This trip must have cost a pretty penny.
