The fishing
Karandá Lodge, situated along the Paraná River in Argentina, provides exclusive access to some of the best golden dorado fishing waters in the world. Known for their aggressive strikes and spectacular aerial displays, the dorado is the river’s top predator, and at Karanda, anglers will find a range of habitats that hold impressive specimen fish. The season runs from June to December, offering ideal conditions in a stunning natural setting.
World-class guided dorado fishing in Argentina
Fishing at Karandá Lodge is an unforgettable experience, offering guided dorado fishing in some of Argentina’s most productive waters. Most fishing is done from custom Carolina Skiffs, built for stability and excellent casting platforms. Anglers drift along sandy shorelines, navigate deep channels, and cast around submerged wood structures where dorado hunt for baitfish. Wading is also an option, especially when dorado are close to the shore. One of the highlights is the chance to sight-fish when dorado ambush schools of sábalo in the shallow sandbars.
Karandá provides all necessary fly-fishing gear, including expertly selected rod setups, lines, and flies. Our professional guides, who are deeply knowledgeable about the local waters and techniques, can also provide equipment for those who prefer to spin fish. A signature of the Karandá experience includes an al fresco riverside lunch, complete with Argentine wines and local beer, making every fishing day both a sporting and culinary adventure.
