During my last trip to Argentina, I spent a few nights in Buenos Aires. During any International Fishing Trip, I try my best to visit local tackle shops to see what local tackle is not available in the United States. Long time friend, Adrian De Brito, recently opened the Pesca del Plata Tackle Store, www. pescadelplata.empretienda.com.ar. The store is located on Ex Combatients Juan Sanchez 420 San Fernando-Pcia.de Bs.As. Adrian has a wide variety of Rapala lures which are not available in the USA such as the metal bill Super Shad Rap, and different colors of Super Shad Raps not available here. Pesca del Plata also has a wide selection of quality Shimano reels and rods, outboard motors and boats, and top of the line camping equipment. Adrian guides on the Rio La Plata in his free time so can give good advice on local fishing. He saved the day for me while fishing La Zona for dorado as I was running out of spoons after the first session. Adrian contacted his supplier and was able to get me numerous No. 6 Wemp spoons in gold coloration which were perfect at La Zona.
The Fly Shop is located at Av. Fondo de la Legua 425 Local 13 Boulogne. Nico has a wide variety of flies, rods, reels, and line. Plus, Nico is a avid angler often fishing at Rio Lodge on the Parana so can give priceless advice on fly tackle and conventional tackle.
So, during your next visit to Buenos Aires, make sure to stop by the Pesca del Plata Tackle Store and the Aventura Fly Shop. You can talk fishing and even make new longtime friends. Make sure you tell Adrian and Nico that Bob Daly says "hi".
