Pira Lodge, Argentina


Pira Lodge is a new premiere fly-fishing lodge set on the edge of a 3 million plus acre national preserve marshland in northeastern Argentina. The Ibera Preserve is the second largest in South America and is home to countless native mammals and birds as well as the dolpinfish dorado. The majority of South American fishing lodges are world renowned for their huge sea-run browns and rainbows. Pira will soon join these other well-respected lodges by bringing dorado, its primary quarry, to the top of the list for freshwater game fish.

Dorado is a distant relative of the salmon and has a similar average size. Dorado in general range from 5 to 45 pounds with the largest recorded at 70 pounds. Average size at Pira is 10 to 15 with an occasional 25 to 35 pounder hooked up. Their beautiful golden hues, size and ferocious attacks on dry flies will leave you counting the days until you come back.

Party size is limited to 10 fishers. Non-fishing activities are also available to guests. Packages are based on 7 days of fishing and 7 nights lodging.
