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.

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!

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.

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…..
