NORTHWEST DORADO
Equipment and travel tips


   The weather is typical of the "rain forest", very humid and warm. The fishing season is basically during the Southern Hemisphere Winter, with weather not too hot and mosquitoes not a real problem, although we do recommend the use of insect repellent at sunset.

 

  The rivers we fish have crystalline waters and are not too cold, for convenience it is recommended "wet wading" during the day.

 

  There are times when to reach some distant fishing sites there will be need to walk between boulders and canyons requiring a medium level of physical condition.

 

  When it comes to fishing, a medium to high casting skill is expected to handle the large flies, 4 to 5 inches long, and be able to cast 9-weight floating and/or sinking lines a minimum of 60 ft.

 

WHAT TO BRING

 

1.  Clothing and accessories

  • Fast drying fishing pants
  • Long sleeve fast drying shirts
  • Socks and underwear
  • Several sets of the above since the area humidity prevents it from drying overnight
  • Dry bag for personal items for possible float trips
  • Sun block lotion
  • Polarized sun glasses
  • Back pack
  • Camera to take pictures of the trophies.

 

2.  Basic fishing equipment

  • Wading sandals or boots, your choice, for wet wading.
  • Breathable chest wader
  • Wading shoes with felt soles
  • Gloves for handling and holding the Golden Dorado
  • Fly rod(s) 8 to 9 weight 9 to 10 ft long
