Waters

fish

The Iberá Wetlands (Spanish: Esteros del Iberá, from Guaraní ý berá: “bright water”) located in north central Corrientes Province, Argentina, is one of the most important and largest fresh water reservoirs in South America. Estimated to be 5,800 – 7,700 square miles, it is second in size only to the Pantanal in Brazil. In 1982 the Ibera Provincial Reserve was created and protected 5,000 square miles of these wetlands, the largest such area in Argentina. Plans are ongoing to increase the area’s protection and hopefully in the future it will be granted national park status.

The Fishing

Along the western boundary of the world famous Ibera Wetlands you can fish the endless miles of “gin clear” creeks, channels and lagoons. A total of 8 anglers per day can experience this unspoiled natural reserve with exotic birds, wildlife and plentiful Dorado. SET Fly Fishing has exclusive access to this portion of the marsh so you never have to worry about seeing other anglers. The fishery typically offers Dorado ranging in size from 4 to 15 pounds with the possibility for hooking larger fish.
The mythical Dorado (salminus brasiliensis) is clearly the main target at this fishery. Ibera provides daily opportunities to catch multiple Dorados that range from 5 to 10 pounds. However, there is always the possibility of catching Dorados from 20 up to 30 pounds.
