Dorado: The Seasons
Although Dorados are present in the area year round, the fishing varies throughout the year. After a short period when fishing is banned, usually between mid November and Christmas, summer offers normal to high water, and hot weather fishing. The water levels start to drop by early fall, until the year lowest usually in August and September.
The first Spring rains in late September or early October bring many small creeks back to life and most baitfish species start moving up into the tributaries to spawn, followed by the schools of Dorados.
In summer we find Dorados all over the area, in any type of faster water where they can ambush their prey. This is the time to fish the large Parana River and its delta.
In fall, the ba
itfish that spent the summer in swamped areas are forced into the rivers as waters recede, and Dorados are waiting for them in the places where this waters are poured back into the rivers. The lower Corriente, the Guaiquiraro and other medium size rivers fish very well during this time of the year. In winter and early spring, when the waters are the lowest and clearest, Dorados tend to concentrate in the rivers where they find the largest source of baitfish. It's also the time when Dorados start to follow the large schools of mojarras to the upper Corriente, where they spawn in late spring and summer.
Overall, the fishing is good al year round, with the two best periods being February-March-April and August to mid November.
