I just got back from this trip and have to say this video is 100% spot on. Be in shape, be prepared to suffer a little and have the time of your life. You get a few shots a day if you are lucky but if you work hard and stay ready it will all pay off. I highly recommend this trip!!
Great video! I'm super hooked on fly fishing and this is like a dream adventure to set as a goal one day. I love the passion for what you do and how it easily comes through the video in your interview. Subbed and looking forward to the next one!
They are very adept predators who are quite aware of their surroundings so your approach and cast need to be spot on. Their numbers are strong for an apex predator, but with that said, you might only have around 10 shots in a day of fishing.
It's like a jacked up largemouth bass mixed with a jacked up trout. What a beast.
this is one of the best flyfishing videos I've seen
We love to hear it!!

Are dorado very finicky and picky fish or just low in number and difficult to find?
They are very adept predators who are quite aware of their surroundings so your approach and cast need to be spot on. Their numbers are strong for an apex predator, but with that said, you might only have around 10 shots in a day of fishing.
will dorado hit dry flies?
They occasionally will take large mice/rat patterns and poppers, but not your typical dry fly pattern.
Very exciting. What is the species of fish that are being caught?
Hey Mark -- The primary species is the golden dorado, though there are opportunities for a few other species in the region such as pacu and yatorana.
Thanks. I apologize for not knowing more about this species.
