Karandá Lodge melds one of Argentina’s most renowned outfitters with some of the finest Golden Dorado guides worldwide. Situated in the middle section of the Río Paraná—South America’s second-longest river and watershed —this subtropical winter fishery (from June to December) targets the peak of the river’s legendary Dorado migration.

The annual inflow of Sábalo brings the season to life. Aggressive Dorado gorge on the baitfish, growing to sizes of 10 to 30+ lbs. After two full years of scouting, our guides are keyed in on the habits and habitats of these formidable and complex fish. You’ll sight-fish to monsters prowling the river’s long sandbars, explore remote backwater creeks, and you’ll cover everything from woody structure to cut-banks and deep channels. We at Karandá Lodge and Nervous Waters are thrilled to introduce you to a new season on this truly special fishery.
