Golden Fly Fishing
Golden Fly Fishing will create a very special week for you. Enjoy the private and friendly ambiance at their colonial-rural style lodge in the small, charming town of Paso de la Patria. A unique accommodation, with personalized service and capacity for 8 people, gourmet food, and lodging within rustic, elegant interiors.
You will have the opportunity to achieve the freshwater Grand Slam by catching the three most voracious species of Argentina: Golden Dorado, Pacú, and Pirá Pytá. Come face to face with the “Tiger of the River,” known to suddenly jump 3 feet in the air, showing his teeth before diving back into the river and busting your reel with his aggression.
The captains of Golden Fly Fishing are dedicated to the preservation of local fish and wildlife in the Paraná River. For this reason, all fishing with them is catch and release.
So, how do you get to this heaven on Earth? One of the captains will pick you up from the airport or bus station, free of charge. You’ll be staying in their custom lodge and will be delighted by their fine regional cuisine and dishes of Italian ancestry, paired with wines from Argentina. All rooms have double beds, air conditioning, and a fully equipped bathroom. The package includes 3 meals a day, snacks, and fruits. All areas have Wi-Fi.
You will be fishing in 17ft boat with a capacity for 2 anglers. You can book a solo trip or share the experience with another fellow angler. Bigger parties will stay in the lodge together and will be split in groups of 2 people per boat when fishing.
Fishing is split into 2 parts. You’ll start each day early in the morning, at 6:30 a.m. and stop at 11:30 a.m. You’ll then continue after lunch from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Note that fly fishing equipment is not included in the price, so you need to bring your own, or rent it at the lodge.
Golden Fly Fishing has one mission: to provide a superior destination for your fly-fishing experience. You will not be disappointed!

Golden Fly Grand Slam – Spring on September 2, 2019
For starters it rained a lot so captain Vicente B. skills and resourcefulness were tested at 100% and he passed with honors in his efforts to search and find the best places for the angler to try his luck. Weather aside the Parana is a magnificient river and its inhabitant - the golden dorado- is a world class trophy worth a long trip more so when you are being pampered at the Lodge with a cozy and warm environment and superb cuisine and drinks. Clean, comfortable place with great attention to detail to allow a wonderful experience under the coordination of Vitto B. 5 stars no doubt and strongly recommended for a unique "dorado" (and others) experience. Shall return.

Golden Fly Grand Slam – Spring on February 12, 2019
I have fished twice with Vicente and Vittorio Botta who own and operate Golden Fly Fishing and I give them the highest recommendation possible! The brothers are outstanding hosts who will go "above and beyond" to make sure you have a memorable experience on the river and at the Golden Lodge. The fishing is exceptional offering the "Paraná Grand Slam" of Golden Dorado, Pacú and Pyra Pitá and any number of other species that call the Paraná home. Dorado on the fly are everything you hope for....aggressive, strong and super athletic, Pyra Pitá are just gorgeous and Pacú the feared "river monster" is all the fight you'll ever need! The Golden Lodge is your "home away from home" with clean, comfortable rooms, exceptional food and service offering terrific value for money. If you are thinking about a "once in a lifetime" fishing trip, this has to be the one!

A great fishing lodge
Golden Fly Grand Slam – Spring on September 28, 2018
I have gone many times to this lodge, with my son. It is a great base for fishing in the area´s diverse environment (the main course of the Parana river, many small rivers) looking for Golden Dorado and other species with the fly (pacú, pirá-pitá). The lodge is close to the marina, which allows for fishing early in the morning, return to rest for a while at noon (usually very hot) and fish again between 4 PM and sunset. The service in the lodge is very good: excellent food, good confort, very clean. The owners are especially friendly, make you feel at home. And they master fly fishing in the area.

Golden Fly Grand Slam – Spring on February 19, 2018
Had the opportunity to fish with Golden Fly Fishing for a week in February 2018. Vittorio and Vicente are excellent hosts and the lodge is clean, comfortable, and quite. During the week, I fished with 5 different guides, all of which were friendly, hard working, and successful at getting us on fish. The food was excellent. I am very happy to have had to opportunity to spend a week @ Golden Fly Fishing. Highly Recommended.....
