Golden Dorado

Leaders

6 Pirá Pitá leaders -12 f ee t 1X or 14 lb.
The heavier tippets will allow you to land many more fish and handle them more easily when releasing them.
1 Spool 02X (20 lb.) Fluorocarbon tippet.
10 Quick Change 20 lb test leaders.

Our guides always reccommend to make your leaders in 3 parts: start the but section on a 40 lb fluorocarbon of 2 foot, follow it with 1.7 foot of 3 0 lb fluorocarbon and use a 20 lb shock tippet where you will tie the steinless steell leader with the fly.

Flies

Dorado Flies
Bring 2 dozen dorado flies in various patterns for a week of fishing. You need at least a d ozen flies with heavy lead eyes, others can be medium weight flies (with bead chain eyes). Some of the best patterns are streamers tied with muddler head and well loaded of. Sizes should be mostly #3/0 ’s with a few #4 /0’s and a few smaller #2’s. Most flies should be darker patterns – in combination with black, but you also need some very light or white patterns for white sand flats.

Pirá Pitá flies
Small dry flies or nymphs tied in hooks ranging from #10 to # 2/0 are the ones for Pirás. The recommended ones are the Ututu or Chernobyl. We also use a fly that looks like a fruit, just like the flies that look like eggs. The ones we use during the spawn for catching trouts and salmons, but they have to be heavy enough so we imitate the falling of fruits from a tree.

Pacú flies
We use the fruits mentioned before by excellence.

Flies are available for purchase at reasonable price at the lodge
