Overview

Overview

Combine River Plate Outfitter’s outstanding attention to details with spectacular fishing experiences and you get a winner!!!

River Plate recently purchased the exclusive fishing rights to the Uruguay River below the Salto Grande Hydroelectrical Dam.  It’s here where one Anglers & Hunters client recently boated a 62 lb Golden Dorado (a new world-record had he chosen to certify the fish).  

Delicious home cooked meals, beverages, transfers to the fishery, expert guides and specially designed fly-fishing boats are included in the package.

Fishing

No rules apply in Salto Grande, home of some of the largest Dorados found anywhere in the world, were quality, quantity and possibility come together to make this operation a unique fishing experience. The fish reach incredible sizes and numbers due to the impressive amount of food available. This occurs because the dam’s lake increases the biological mass in the system. All that fito and zooplankton, is concentrated in a constant flow which generates a very complex rich chain of many species ending with the Dorado that achieves, in this area, unprecedented growing rates.

All fishing is done exclusively from wide 20-foot shallow drafting fiberglass bass boats with two large casting platforms.

Accommodations

The Horacio Quiroga Thermal Spa Resort is located in a unique area on a peninsula by the Salto Grande Lake, and is surrounded by a 400+ acre nature park. Guest rooms are fully equipped with air conditioning, safe, 24-hour room service, cable TV LCD 32", and a beautiful view of the lake and park from the balcony. Thermal water or hydro massages are available as well.

A combination of national and international chef-style cuisine is offered. Menus will include at least one or two traditional "asados" (barbecue) with high quality meat and other Uruguayan specialties. Fine wines, beers, and a complete open bar are also included as part of the package.

Activities

During your stay all resort activities are available to the non-anglers in the group (some charges may apply).  These include the hot spring water park, nature tours, horseback riding, and use of the pools and exercise facilities.
