Golden Dorado are native to the tropics of South America and can be found in a variety of environments such as Marshs, Lagoons, Streams and in rivers of different sizes. Each environment offer unique fly fishing experiences due to the conditions that reign.
At Set fly fishing we manage three different golden dorado lodges and each offers a different and unique experience
