General Information:
Located on Parana River and very close to Corrientes, Santa Elena is a
typical provincial village, about 500 km from Buenos Aires. This destination
is well known by anglers and hunters because of the good fishing of dorado,
pacu and surubi on the one hand, and ducks, partridges and mount pigeons
on the other. Situated in Entre Rios Province in the northeast of Argentina,
Santa Elena offers a tropical weather throughout the 10 months of the
fishing season. The season starts in August and runs through May.
Paraná
River and the huge delta covering over 50 km with hundreds of channels,
streams, brook and marshlands are home to a great flora and fauna, making
the place perfect for dorado fly fishing. Depending on the condition
of the river and its brooks and channels, you may cast on sight with
floating lines and surface flies. Fast sinking lines are a good choice
to fish the runs and riffles where the larger dorados hide. You may
also fly fish for chafalote, sometimes reaching one metre long, palometa
or piranha, tararira and cabeza amarga. The river shows white sandy
shores along some sections which allow wading for dorados.
Known as
"the river tiger", the dorado (salminus maxillosus) is the
most exciting native game fish of South America. Even though it is found
all year round, the best time of the year runs from September through
May. The average size in the area ranges from 4.5 to 17 pounds; however,
larger fish are caught every year.
