Though there are a handful of places to catch Golden Dorado throughout South America, Salta, Argentina offers an entirely unique fishing experience.   The lack of pressure keeps the fish healthy and the fishing consistent.  The area's ideal habitat makes for great quantity and great quality alike.  On an average fishing day, anglers generally hook 10 to 15 fish, and on a great day can hook over 25.  Adults can be regularly found in the 15 to 25lb range as they migrate upriver to spawn.  Chacu lodge has exclusive rights to fish the most productive stretches of the Dorado, Juramento, Seco and Del Valle rivers.  These rivers and countless mountain streams are all easily accessed from Chacu Lodge.  Some water offers easy wade fishing while other waters are fished by floating rafts.
