The Northern Argentina Sporting Journey: Trout & Golden Dorado
February 14 to 26, 2027 Set in the wild heart of Northern Patagonia, Estancia Chochoy Millan offers access to some of Argentina’s most diverse and lightly pressured trout water. Freestone rivers, spring creeks, and intimate streams hold healthy populations of wild brown and rainbow trout that reward thoughtful presentations and time on the water. Fishing here is immersive and unhurried. You’ll work classic water, refine your approach, and experience Patagonia the way it’s meant to be experienced, quiet, expansive, and deeply connected to the land. Evenings at the estancia bring warm hospitality, excellent meals, and the shared satisfaction that comes from full days spent earning every fish. Northern Argentina – The Golden Dorado River Cruiser From Patagonia, the adventure shifts north to a completely different world. Aboard the Golden Dorado River Cruiser, you’ll explore remote river systems in pursuit of golden dorado, the apex predator of South American freshwater. Known for their aggression, speed, and violent strikes, dorado turn every cast into a visual event. Fishing from skiffs launched directly from the mothership, you’ll target structure, current seams, and jungle-lined banks with large flies and heavy tackle. When a dorado commits, the eat is instant and unforgettable. Between sessions, the cruiser provides comfort, excellent meals, and the rare experience of living on the river itself.

With more than 25 years of experience hosting international fishing travel, Ray ensures a smooth, well-paced journey, handling logistics, transitions, and daily strategy so you can focus on fishing and soaking in the experience.
