Golden Dorado and Trout in Argentina

[Korrie]

To make you all a bit green with jealousy.
Leaving beginning of January 2018 for 2 weeks to Argentina for a bit of fishing for Golden dorado in the North and some trout further South.

The Golden Dorado has been high on my bucket list.

Plane tickets to that side is hectic R15 000.00
We have timeshare points for Bariloche, which is a ski resort, so that cost us nothing.
Accomodation 2 nights in BA, about R1500.00
Internal flights and buses R4000.00
Accomodation north for the dorado R2500.00
Maybe a guide in the north if I do not come right with a friend of a friend of a friend. R3000.00
and foodR3000.00
Total R26 000.00
I have a budget of R30 000.00 so there will be some small change.

I started with the tying.
all the flies are between 15cm and 25cm long.
According to the locals, that is the size I need to fish with.
Now to start tying a couple of each.
The one fly fisher said that you can loose between 10 and 20 flies per day, every day.
