Golden Dorado Tailwater

Each morning after a made-to-order breakfast in our private dining area, you’ll meet your guide at our boat launch just a few hundred yards from the hotel. The dorado in our Tailwater venue reach incredible size and number due to the large amount of food being flushed through the dam’s turbines. The unusually large biomass, or total mass of organisms in the water below El Salto Dam, coupled with a superabundance of oxygen due to the whirling of the turbines, creates a uniquely exceptional fishery.

Our dorado lord over this perpetual feeding zone, growing to enormous sizes in great numbers. The water below the dam often erupts in a jaw-dropping dorado feeding frenzy guaranteed to make your heart race in anticipation.

Our 21-foot shallow-draft fiberglass bass boats are equipped with two large casting platforms, plenty big for the double hook ups our anglers often encounter. The boats are powered with 90-horsepower outboard engines, backed up by a 15-horsepower reserve outboard.

Mid-day, we return to the hotel for lunch and some time to recharge. Enjoy a soothing soak in our private thermal hot tub or take a siesta back in your room before heading back out for an afternoon of hardcore golden dorado angling.

Each evening, we will meet up for cocktail hour and enjoy a private dinner and time to reflect and share stories of the day’s conquests.

During your stay, you’ll enjoy an exclusive, VIP section of the Horacio Quiroga Thermal Spa & Resort. Each spacious single room offers views of the Salto reservoir. Your group will also have access to a private dining room with an open bar, as well as a private sitting room.

There are a number of fun activities for non-angling companions, including pampering at the resort’s full-service spa, horseback riding and hiking the area’s picturesque trails.
