Fly fish the Iberia Marshlands in Corrientes for the Golden Dorado. The Ibera Marshlands is a vast system of non-polluted crystal-clear creeks, flowing rivers, shallows and lakes.

Pira Lodge is located in the Corrientes Province, Northeast Argentina, in the middle of the Ibera Marshlands, within 1,300,000 hectares of Natural Reserve. This area is twice the size of the Florida Everglades.

The Province of Corrientes borders Uruguay, and enjoys one of Argentina's subtropical climate patterns, with temperatures in the mid-80s early and late in the season.

The Ibera Marshland is almost completely unexplored and uninhabited. It is home to more than 350 species of birds (parrots, southern screamers, kingfishers, ibis, herons…), 85 mammals and almost 70 reptiles, and an incredible abundance of flora.

Built in a typical Corrientes style, Pira Lodge enjoys a spectacular panoramic view of the vast wetlands and is situated right on the edge of a channel providing direct access to the marsh system and to the Corrientes River, located 15 min south of the lodge.

Accommodation is for up to 10 guests in five large rooms, each with a private entrance, private bath, two double beds and air conditioning.

A separate building, attached by covered galleries, houses the spacious living room, bar and dining room, each with tall doors which open up to the wide veranda.

Fishing is generally from flats style boats and with a 7 or 8 weight rod matched with a line appropriate to the conditions at the time. Golden Dorado are a relatively unknown sportfish in the Characin family (includes Tiger Fish) that will generally weigh 4 - 10 pounds in this type of fly fishing environment with fish of 20 pounds being a possibility.
