The Golden Tiger
The fresh water dorado is one of the greatest fighting gamefish in the entire world. This extraordinary jumper combines the swimming habits of a salmon with the ferocity and predatory instincts of a tiger shark. It violently hammers lures and flies, then immediately explodes out of the water in a series of outrageous leaps and line stripping runs.
While the beautiful and powerful freshwater dorado has long been one of the most admired fish in the southern portion of South America, it is almost completely unknown in the rest of the world but this is sure to change as its fighting ability becomes more widely known.
Their intense, almost radiant, golden colour is marked with holographic black horizontal stripes. This patterning, coupled with their powerful jaws and razor sharp teeth have earned the Dorado the sobriquet “River Tiger” in Argentina.
November until May
