DORADO FISHING CLOSE TO BUENOS AIRES CITY
Dcember 9th, 2010. Buenos Aires province, Argentina

"Our golden dorado fishing trip with Wild and Exotic from San Pedro was fabulous. All aspects of our trip were as described. We found our guide Nacho to be extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable with very good English and having the skipper's local knowledge of the river invaluable to the day's success. Our photos reflect the excitement of the many dorado which we landed for the day. The food and beverage was simple but authentic and the asado cooked to perfection. The peaceful surroundings of the river were also a pleasant break from the hustle and car horns of Buenos Aires and we felt invigorated for the remainder of our trip but left regretting we hadn't arranged an extra day of fishing. Thank you to all involved for a seamless operation, one which we would highly recommend"

ARGENTINA DORADO FISHING CLOSE TO BUENOS AIRES CITY
October 7th, 2010. Buenos Aires province, Argentina

After the long winter, finally the Dorado fishing season start in San Pedro area, our fishing program close Buenos Aires city.

Kevin, Sean, Malcom and Francois (all from South Africa) fish with us last week. The early morning weather conditions were not good, rain... and more rain. But, anyway we decide to drive to San Pedro. Half the way to the fishing area the sun finally appear in the sky and by the moment we´ve start fishing the conditions were excellent. We first fish a small stream, plenty of 1 to 3 pound fish. Have a nice lunch and after that move to the area on the Parana river were our captain know we will find the big ones. And it happened. We spent 3 hours fishing Dorado from 3 to 9 pound!!! Everybody hook and and nice fish.

Look what they said:
"Thanks again for a fantastic days fishing on Thursday! I am already trying convince a few of my mates to join me in a trip back to Argentina to do some fishing."
Sean Oliver

"Just a quick email to say thank you once again for the day out last week. We had an absolutely fabulous time, and really appreciate your hospitality."
Kevin Simon

Looking forward to host you again next year, your friend in Argentina!

DORADO FISHING IN SALTA. ARGENTINA
September 29th, 2010. Salta province, Argentina

I have just come back from the tour you recommended me. It was amazing! I was in the Dorado river, Las Lajita Salta, from Thursday 23rd to 26th September, fishing "golden dorado" with my two daughters ( 23 and 14 years old). I really had a great time in this adventure. The place owns an unbelievable beauty, from another world, even magical, I dare say. I had never fished dorados in the river, as I always caught them in the marshlands.
The Dorado river has clear waters allowing fishermen to think of an excellent hunting strategy. In a river with the same characteristics, you would use a rod #5 or #6 and a 2X or 3X leader to fish trout. In the case of golden dorado, you are standing with that rod, a 45 pound test line and a short steel tippet tied to a big fly, waiting for a beast that can reach 17 to 20 pound, capable of cutting the line in the first race or leap. An extraordinary leap, brilliant yellow, and an amazing strength & pure adrenaline! The area is tropical, with rich fauna including peccaries, anteaters, tapirs, yaguaretes, a wide range of birds such as toucans, woodpeckers and martin pescador.
Sebastián and Ignacio are the guides who run the operation in a perfect and professional way. At the same time they are very friendly and pleasant. To get to the camping on the banks of the Dorado river, we had to travel with the strictly necessary equipment by van and then by horse through meandering paths at the edge of the mountains. The fishing is done after a 3 or 4-km walk on the way and when returning. The access to the fishing spot requires a walk or horse-ride. The prize is really worthwhile!!

This new big game hunt destination in Argentina exceeded all our expectations. Even it was the first hunting season since the lodge open it doors last October to receive hunters, hunting results were superb: giant water buffalo and premium red stag trophies. Arni -owner of Lax-a club from Island- and Rafael y Victor from Spain made an excellent hunt during the last week of March.

During April, Wirth family make a lifetime trip, and Rick KK owner of Global Sporting Safaris and Todd Cast owner of TNT Outdoors Network hunt together lot of good trophies. The filmed to make this year a TV show. Hope we look great on the screen... I would also like to thank Jason, the great man behind the camera. And of course Federico Clausen Chischaca Lodge manager that made an excellent work together with his guides and lodge staff. All of hunters promise to return.

Pablo, it was a pleasure to spend time with you and I really enjoyed your company. I hope we can do many more shows together in South America. I look forward to seeing you in the US on your next trip. I had a great time and enjoyed making a new friend in you.
Best Regards,

ARGENTINA SEA TROUT FISHING
April 17th, 2010. Rio Grande, Kau Tapen and Villa Maria Lodge

What we can say about Rio Grande that has not been said. Is still the #1 sea trout fishing river on the world. No matter if you are staying in Kau Tapen, Villa Maria or ToonKen lodge. Fly fishing is very good everywhere. If you are planning a fishing trip for 2011, contact us and we will send you our hosted trip dates.

"Dear Daniel,
Thanks very much for a good trip to Rio Grande. We have a great time ! The mixed program with Villa Maria and Kau Tapen was good to experience! The biggest trout 28 Pound was caught by Hakan but Jorgen and Robert catch several over 20 pound. My biggest was about 16 pound. It was a tough fishing with cold water, sinking line and big heavy flies. But this kind of fishing works very good for the Scandinavian people. It was two very slow fishing days on Kau Tapen depending of weather. We like special Villa Maria lodge. We try Menendez river and like that very much. Thanks again for a good organization!"

ARGENTINA DUCK HUNTING, DOVE SHOOTING and DORADO FISHING
February 20th, 2010. Santa Fe province, Argentina

Hi Pablo, it was an outstanding experience and we own thanks to you for all the coordination and help you provided. The duck/dove hunting was great...all the shooting we could want. We definitely like the variety of duck hunting, dove hunting and Dorado fishing. The guides, lodging, food and wine exceeded our expectations. The small boutique hotels you lined up and the private guided tour of Buenos Aires definitely added to the positive experience. The weekend excursion you arranged to the Brazil/Argentine border to see Iguazu Falls was great. Pablo thank you for helping make our first trip to Argentina such a positive, memorable occasion. Best regards and feel free to use me as a reference,

Super Dorado fishing!
Probably the best Dorado fishing season since 1999. Let the fishermen speak:

Well Pablo, all I can say is "WOW"!! That was truly an amazing fishing experience. You and Ruly really put us on the fish and the rest seemed easy...especially for Mark! I want to say thanks again for all the great memories you gave us. San Pedro is certainly a place we'll always remember. Chuck Charles Long

Pablo, I just wanted you to know we are back in the states safely but I am already wishing I was back on the river with you and Ruli, fishing for more big Dorado. Take care my friend and God Bless! Mark Westhusin
