Fishing
Targeted from Hell’s Bay skiffs, Pira’s dorado—Salminus maxillosus—are known as "tigers of the river" and are considered the most challenging native freshwater game fish of South America. Flashing radiant gold flanks and strong backs and jaws, dorado hammer flies and are immediately addicting.
Accommodation
Pira offers seven grand, high-ceiling double occupancy rooms with private bathroom and air conditioning along a meandering open-air corridor. The main lodge faces the swimming pool and marsh, featuring a spacious living room, social bar, and airy dining room all bordered by open verandas.
Gear
7/8 wt. fast-action fly rods with weight forward floating lines are primary. Corresponding tropical sink-tip lines are recommended. Knotable wire is a must for dorado fishing. Tropical weight flats clothing and plenty of sun protection is necessary in the Ibera.
Trip Specifics
Pira accommodates non-angling guests and is supremely comfortable for couples. With remote beauty comes travel logistic challenges. Frontiers is versed in all arrival methods and a personal conversation with our experts is highly recommended. The Ibera is similar to the US Everglades, sun and insect protection is recommended and clothing and gear should be “tropical specific.” Fishing from the skiffs is reminiscent of saltwater flats fishing or Florida Bay. Birding is extraordinary and many boast their best day at Pira. Combine with the Alto Parana for an ultimate Argentina dorado experience.
