It's no secret that big dorado like to feed under the cover of darkness. It's when they feel most secure and can sneak up on their prey using their hyper-sensitive lateral lines to strike in the dark waters surrounding @SuindaLodge.

Wild trout like this stunning rainbow abound in the endless miles of classic fly waters surrounding @FutaLodge in the Chilean Andes. Infinite rise forms line the banks during our prime hatch season when every trout in the system is looking up to the surface for their bug buffet.

On the margins of the Paraná's weedy banks, big Dorado prowl waiting for unsuspecting baitfish to leave the safety of the vegetation or get flushed past in the current. Takes from fish like this are often unseen and add to the unmatched excitement of hooking large dorado on the fly at @SuindaLodge!

24 pounds of Paraná gold!
Steady water conditions have kept the big dorado happy at @SuindaLodge. This fish was caught ambushing baitfish at the head of an island. We've seen strong baitfish numbers hanging around, and it's no surprise large dorado like this girl have been taking advantage!
