Dear Mario.

This, one of my first experiences Mesopotamian, was simply amazing! Both Dorado Cua and Cahapita Mini are places inserts in the heart of wildlife. I would never have imagined such a number of wild animals, thousands of birds, capybaras, alligators and of course many 'golden dorados', which gave us unique sensations.The human group of nice people makes us feel at home. Aspecial paragraph for Alfredo, a connoisseur like nobody, gave us everything we needed to catch many golden dorados. Thank you so much and no doubt I'll be back ....... and soon !!

Dear Mario,

Dorado Cua is a special place. It has an ambiance that relaxes and restores one, alter the hustle and bustle of modern city life. The lodge sits beautifully in the landscape. To wake to the sound ofbird song (and no traffic) to watch incredible numbers and types of birds, as you travel through the myriad waterway is an important part of the joy of being here. The waterscapes are matched by the skyscapes – such wonderful and varied clouds – and no airplane trails.

Dorado are terrific fish – so aggressive and strong. It was a pleasure to have Alfredo as a guide. He is not only immensely knowledgable about fishing, but also the wildlife and the region. He stays calm and relaxed and enjoys his work – it is a delight to spend time with him on the water. I have learned a great deal from him (though how it applied to trout in Welsh streams – I’m not sure!)
The six days here have been restorative - and not just to my soul – Unfortunately my stomach line has been marvellously restored ever engaged, thanks to the delicious food and plentiful wine.
It has been a great pleasure, thanks to a superb team, Mario, Alfredo y María.

Muchas gracias

Dear Mario,Wir bedanken uns für eine grossartige Fischerwoche im Paradies.

Jeden Tag konnte ich unten Kunfdiger Führung von Alfredo viele Dorados landen (darunter einen mit 7 kg + 6 kg). Am letzten Tag war der Vormittag mit 16 Fischen beschenkt. Neben den Fischen verwöhnte uns Maria-Lisa mit ihrer Konchkünsten.

Wir können deine lodge allen Doradofischern, Vogelbeobachtern und Naturgeniessern bestens empfehlen.

Ich freue mich auf einen nächsten Besuch.

Dear Mario,

Thanks very much to you and all the staff at Dorado Cua Lodge. Every day I caught many dorados with my guide Alfredo ( one 7 Kgs. and others 6 Kgs.). On the morning of the last day I landed fifteen dorados. Maria Luisa also cooked and served delicious meals.

I can recommend the Dorado Cua lodge to all fishermen, bird watchers and nature lovers.

I am happy and hope to see you a next time.

Dear Mario,

Thank you  for the wonderful days of fishing and relaxation at Dorado Cua and Capita Mini. I will return home with grand memories of a place where the dorados are so plentiful that they jump in your boat as you pass by,  where the only crowds you’ll find are the groups of capibaras and caiman along the river side, where you can see more birds in every size, shape and color in one day than you might see in years. Thanks also to your team for the care and attention, the wonderful meals, fantastic wine and the warm hospitality that made me feel at home from the first day. A special  thanks to Alfredo, an excellent guide who made sure that I had everything I needed          to enjoy catching beautiful dorados of up to 3 or 4 kilos. Too bad that big one spat the hook back at us!

I also want to thank  your wife Monica for the hospitality and care and both of you for a wonderful birthday celebration! I hope I can return again  soon. All the best to you and your team.

   El guia, un maestro de la pesca con mosca y excelente persona. El lodge super confortable. La cocina, de lo mejor en calidad y amabilidad y Mario un Senior un caballero con todas las palabras.-

Nos vamos esperando poder volver pronto.

Gracias por todo.

Capita Mini lodge, Feb. 09 - 13 / 2012.-

Mario, Belen, Rosa,

sinceramente nunca tinhamos chegado pensar que pescariamos tantos DORADOS em nossa vida, foram dias inesqueciveis cá na cabanha Capita Mini.

  Tinhamos lido notas nas revistas e escutado falar aos pescadores deste lugar conhecido como o "  Pantanal ARGENTINO" mais nunca imaginamos tanta cuantia e bons tamanhos de dorados. Pescamos cuase todos com artificiais da superficie "flotadores" e muitos com " popers" que é o mais despoto na pesca do dorado. Nós os seis pescadores do grupo, pescamos entre 25 a 30 Dorados por dia cada um.

O lugar destaca-se pela ausencia das embarcacoes, na soledade total, cheio de yacarees, capibaras, aves como nunca tinhamos visto na nossa vida, isto é um santuaria da natureza alem da boa e exquisita comida, os quartos confortaveis e os guias sao muito profisionais. Um lugar para todos aqueles que amam a natureza é muito recomendavel.

Voltaremos pronto. Obrigada por tudo.

Springtime typically represents rebirth and new 

beginnings. For California fly-fishers those new 

beginnings come in the form of a new trout season. 

Although many of California’s trout streams are now 

open to fishing year round, some of the places most 

cherished by anglers––waters such as Hat Creek, Fall 

River, and the McCloud––do not open until the last 

Saturday in April. To celebrate the coming of Opening 

Day, we have collected the thoughts, musings, memories, and early season fishing tactics of a few Club 

members. So dust off your favorite trout rod, clean up your reel, and enjoy the insig.

Dorado Cua Lodge, Goya 8 de Julio 2011.- 

en las riberas del rio Parana, rio Isoro existe muy cerca un Paraiso para el pescador de Dorados. Este lugar incansable en los suenios se vive en primer plano en “ Dorado Cua “. En sus aguas late un corazon amarillo como el Oro de los Incas. Su garra tan voraz como la de los nativos antiguos guaranies. 

Acecha el seniuelo debajo de las aguas semi turbias y claras esperando combatir a cualquiera que lo sepa tentar.

Dorado cua es sin duda el Rincon donde vive el fantasma de los tiempos. Es un viaje al pasado, un destino en el tiempo de mas de 100 anios. El Dorado vive e inspira en los caudales de Dorado Cua.

Gracias al Gran Yaguarete por una estadia para Dioses.

Una experiencia en vida para recordar.
