Golden Dorado
The golden dorado in these rivers are known as the “river tiger” and are one of the most exciting and challenging experiences, either on fly or lure on a fly, due to their fighting abilities and frequent jumps.
Voracious and aggressive feeders these should appeal to any angler, the sight of one of these following your fly or lure in skinny water is a sight you will never forget.
You may also encounter Pacu, , Piranah, Freshwater Stingray, Pira Pita and Suribim catfish..
