La Zona, Uruguay River, Golden Dorado January 5th to 8th

Had the opportunity for fish on the Uruguay River out of La Zona Lodge for golden dorado.  I have been fortunate to fish out of La Zona Lodge each year since the zone opened to fisherman.  The water was the lowest I have seen in all my years.  However, guides Elbio and Alejandro put the group of 4 onto 7 trophy dorado with the largest tipping the scales at 50 lbs.  The top lures were large Yo-Zuri Poppers, Shimano Orcas, and heavy duty spinnerbaits.

There are new accommodations at La Zona Lodge.  All in my group like the new Lodge over Los Tres Sietes where I stayed for numerous years.  Contrary to false rumors each bedroom has air conditioning.  There are 3 spacious bedrooms at the new lodge.  The large single rooms have private bath while the shared room has a bathroom directly next door.  There is a large living room complete with refrigerator, dinner table, and big screen television.  There is a large deck to enjoy a few beers after dinner along with a new well kept swimming pool. 
About 20 yards away is a new building where all meals are prepared.  There is a large dining room which is available to have you meals should you desire.  In all the trip as usual was fantastic.  Hector and Giuliana Bradanini are wonderful hosts and will do everything in their power to make your stay a trip of a lifetime.  The 2019 season is already start to book so make sure to act now to get prime dates for the best golden dorado fishery on earth!
