Discover the premier fishing lodges and expertly guided trips across Buenos Aires, offering authentic experiences and world-class angling on some of the most productive waters.
Buenos Aires sits near the vast Paraná Delta, where rivers, estuaries, and lagoons create one of Argentina’s most accessible freshwater fisheries—accessible in under an hour from the capital.
While best known for its culture, Buenos Aires also offers rich fishing options within easy reach of the city. The surrounding waterways host golden dorado, tararira, and pejerrey, and the fishing scene blends serious angling potential with short travel times, experienced guides, and comfortable day-trip logistics.
From the urban edges of the Río de la Plata to the winding jungle channels of the Delta, anglers can access surprisingly productive water in half- or full-day formats. Buenos Aires offers a unique combination: reliable fishing, local expertise, and the option to fish without venturing deep into Patagonia.
The region supports a range of short-format fishing styles geared toward freshwater predators and native species.
Species diversity is shaped by season and water type, with warm months offering the most active predator fishing.
Year-round options exist, though species and techniques vary by season.
A vast and biodiverse system of jungle-lined channels and backwaters, the Delta offers excellent topwater fishing for golden dorado and tararira just 1–2 hours from the capital.

Where freshwater meets salt, this bay holds catfish, mullet, and occasional dorado. Productive in the warmer months, especially during active tide swings.
